The G4me Zero is an excellent closed back gaming headset. The best I've used, and I've used many.

They've been silently improving older audiophile products while working to appeal to other audiences as well (mainstream with Momentum, Urbanite, etc. and gamers with G4me Zero/One).

They're doing right by the company, we just aren't seeing as many headphones as we apparently want. I love the 650 since they cleaned it up, though. I'd kinda prefer them not to make an HD800 that doesn't kill my ears so I can avoid buying it.

The 6k resonance is from the cups. Arnaud did computer simulations on HF and this was validated years later in the HD800 dissection: http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,2208.msg60869.html#msg60869

The HD800 drivers themselves are fantastic.



they actually changed the metal part in the cups, its different now. I tried making a thread about it but I just got flamed.

After a million samples we've gone through I doubt it. Feel free to post pics of the old mesh versus new.

Many here have the newer 800's that supposedly don't have the peak. Until we listen to them or measure them. The peak is still there. The whole silent revision to the HD800 removing the peak is a total MYTH. We've shown it in about 4-5 different threads here and other places.

If you have proof, feel free to share.

not saying they removed the peak, just saying the metal has changed, could be meaningless.

Proof? Photos? Looks pretty much the same to me. Feels the same to me. Bends and deforms the same to me.

Yup, I do want. I think you might have issues adjusting to lighting and shadows.

Here's Jude's pic from January 2009.



Here's some random scumbag's pic from January 2009.



Canon's 2013 video. Start 0:27 secs in to see light and shadow effects.



Woo Audio's 2010 video from 5 years ago. Note 7:49, looks pretty shiny to me.

The HD800 is the same. The pads feel slightly different on my older (2009) pair but otherwise they look identical to my coworker's pair (he picked them up last month new)

I honestly dunno. But who cares. I wouldn't think any less of you if you just laugh at it.

BTW haven't seen HF do this. I hope you agree even if you don't understand. Or the other way around. Or something like that.
