Such beautiful headphones, and such a cool process! I can’t imagine how the drivers themselves are made. I wonder which part of manufacturing this is the most technically difficult.
whats the advantage to upgrade from the 600... i had these ones when i was working in shanghai, i returned them after i was done. now i got 600. but dont seem to see the difference.
@@sennheiser I recently (couple months ago) obtained a pair of HD800S, though my pair states "Made in Germany" on the headband. Does that mean mine were indeed made in Germany, or are the ones assembled in Ireland have a new headband stamp? Either way, they sound great!
@@MK-jf8td if you read on their website now, ever since SONOVA took over, everything is made at their state-of-the-art plant in IRELAND. :) even their hd800S.
600 line (600, 650, 660S, massdrop variants) switched back from Romania to Ireland. Entire HD 800 line (800S, 8XX and 820) and the HE-1 has moved from Germany to Ireland. The transition was made 2 months ago.
@@zeon86 IE 900 is Ireland aswell. Professional headphones like the HD 25 are made in Romania. There is a thread on head-fi called 'Increased Production at the Audiophile Center of Excellence in Ireland' if you would like to read more.
Gloves could get caught when shes trying to fit things together. Helps her handle delicate items better. Same argument for why conservators don't wear gloves handling precious documents, books etc. She probs washes her hands anyway...so...
With the stock pads you are right. Just mod your HD800S/ HD800 with the Dekoni fenestrated pads and seal the contact point between the pads and the headphone cup with some plastic/ foam gasket (Just as I do/ like the original pads). With that you preserve the bass and reduce the 6-7k peak, as well as bring the 2k dip a little up. You lose 15-20% of the soundstage, due to the reduction of the peaks, but in my opinion it is worth it. The original HD800 a complete train wreck output an SDR mod.
