I am still amazed that a company with large bank can't do the "mods" to their products that others have to come up with to make them better. I don't think it is money anymore. It's incompetence. Or they just don't give a shit about the sound anymore.

I think it's 33/33/33.

1) If they deny there is a fault, there is no fault
2) Costs/"Reputation"/Problems with incorporating the mod into the production line
3) Ignorance/stupidity

Me too! It's often so surprisingly low a cost in terms of materials, but I guess it's an investment in time. A great pity really.

I don't think it would be quiet for long. Considering how easy it is to remove the dust covers.

But sure, they did quiet updates with the HEV90, twice. So why not?

You could just taunt Sennheiser by just sending them a modified HD800...

I'm thinking that I'm almost certainly buying an HD800 soon. I will be another +1 for whenever this kit comes out.

After listening to a modded HD800 last weekend at Changfest, and several others,  it is on my short list, of things I have to save up for by selling my blood.  :)p13 Or maybe some of the closet full of stuff I need to let go of. All things must pass, right?

 @Anax, my wife isn't so keen on the male gigolo thing, unless you want to be my "manager".  :)p13 :-DD Then we can talk.  :-\

But it is very much an amp dependent can. Not a rush to judgement purchase. IMO.
