Hey folks, just making a list of interested parties so I can figure out supply side.
Price expected to be under/less than three figures. Actual price depends on interest, etc.

Sorry for being daft, but is this to have the mod done or just for a modding kit with supplies and instructions. Thanks.

Hi I'd definitely like to be on the list of you don't mind.... Thanks so much!!

I know Alex would be interested too

Just saw other thread. Question answered. Kit as I suspected.

Anax, count me in...with shipping to India and all that included. Thanks.

I'm in (if Tari's mods are involved, please include two bottles of Sriracha).

Count me in for one.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN 2015. Please and thank you. :)p10

**Interest**

I would be in for one (I have read a lot here, somehow never made an account until now...)
-
I am interested!
-
Consider me interested!
-
pls pls pls!
-
I'll get a HD800 eventually, so count me in.
-
I would be interested as well!
-
Following OJ's post from reddit.
I am definitely interested.
-
I'm in!
HD800 has become my main HPs and, being in France, I can't buy the material for your mods. I use EQ to lift the upper mids and shelve the treble but I have been waiting for your mods since the day I bought the HD800 about 2 years ago, thanks to you and Marv :)p1
-
I'm sure the kit will smoke my DIY... I'm in. FIGHT THE FACE TWEETER!
-
Yes, count me in. Thanks

I'm in there like swimwear.

Pls add me to your list. Totally interested. Thank you.
-
Please add me to the list. Thanks for pushing this forward.
-
I don't know much about HD800 mods, but I have heard this name come up many times and people seem to be really pleased with it so I would be interested in trying it so long as it's easy to do and easily removable.
-
yespleasethankyou
-
Put me down for a tentative one. I don't have an HD800 but I have some friends who do.
p.s. I'm in Canada. If there are other Canadians on the list, would it maybe be easier/cheaper to send one package up and have us distribute from here?
-
I will take one, for sure!
-
Armaegis, I've never had duties on anything declared as $200 or less and as a gift.
It's always handled with care and if it's insured for that amount there's a signature etc.
The only times I run into problems are some companies like Monoprice that ask for brokerage fees of $10+12% of purchase, but otherwise duties can be circumvented really easily.
-
Under 3 figures? I'm in, even though I don't own the HD800. Always been putting them off, but this might make me jump on them. Even if I never will, I'll gladly support the cause.
-
Put Mike Moffat down as well. His pair is unmodded, unlike mine, and he keeps complaining about them...

You've been lucky... I've hard charges of $40 on $30 parcels before. Even going through usps I usually have to pay some sort of fees/duties/etc on parcels coming in unless they are small boxes marked as gifts under $50, and even then sometimes they get opened up and checked. Bah, whatever, this isn't the thread to rant about that sort of thing.
-
I'm in.

If possible, I would like one as well.

hello,
really hoping this isn't a once-in-a-lifetime thing as i can not afford HD800's yet. :'(

Been a long time lurker and am really glad to see this coming through. Count me in!

Since 3.0 was created sometime last year,
I assuming this final public version will be an even more polished version of the original prototype.
I am betting that the correction of the hd800 issues in this fix will make for an extremely profound sonic image of clarity and precision.
Maybe we will finnaly have the can that can do it all.
No more face tweeter..lol
Count me in..
;)
-
I assume this is a new version of the fairly famous DIY mod for HD800, but produced on a larger scale? I'm in, just to see what's the hype's all about. I own the HD800, so might as well.

Updated first page with current list.

Thank you for your kind help.

You sold yours or you don't like it ?

I'd take one for sure, maybe one or two more.

Maybe I am late to the game but what are we getting here. Mod supplies or a modded hd 800?

Appreciate if we budget to have one video available on YouTube for instructions for the mod.
(avoiding double counting - I am already on the list)
-
Please count me in.

List updated.
Sorry been out of country for almost 5 weeks, picked up acute bronchitis per webmd, and without a desktop PC atm due to nvidia being a bunch of liars about the GTX970.
The instructions will be as easy peasy and explicit as possible. I'll even experiment on zerodeefex since he has like only two brain cells. If he can do it, YOU CAN DO EET!
For the DIY install, it should be a breeze as long as you don't have severe rheumatoid arthritis. If anyone falls into this category pm me.
I'll try to get fresh pics of latest CSD's as confirmed by other independent third parties in conjunction with those on this site already.
Thanks all.
Mike

It's all relative. That's a 100% improvement over baseline which is significant.

I'm sure the CSDs will be great, but I'm curious about transparency (if I remember that is part of the reason it's been delayed). My attempts (I tried twice, the 2nd time more carefully) at doing Tyll's mod left me feeling that transparency was reduced, and I never lasted long with it. I'm back to stock with some constantly changing equalization instead.

Count me in please!

Please include me as well!

Why the hell not. Count me in.

I guess you can count me in as well :)

I'd like to join in as well :)

Eagerly waiting for some measurements! >500Hz will surely be a huge improvement (as previous done for the 3.0 have shown), not only in smoothness but time domain as well. Am interested how this mod will affect harmonic distortion figures in bass. Subjective analysis? I guess inexperienced listeners would see it get relatively "bloated" due to the quite significant drop at ~5K.
Looking at the shape of the enclosure, I doubt a bit of liner or whatever secret sauce it has will have much of an effect though.

Count me in.

I take it the kit, when made available, will include all the material items cut to your specification, and it will then just be a matter of installing within the cups.
How is the lining kept in place? I assume that it will be easily reversible without fear of leaving residue. I've never tried this mod (as I never felt the need to tame the HD800), but I'm curious to hear what your efforts have achieved.
-
Hey Anax, put me down for 1 more kit, for a total of 2 kits.
A friend of mine got a HD800 after listening to my modded pair. :D

Friction atm. I was referring to folks who expressed they might be more physically challenged and still want to give it a go. I'm just talking about meeting a particular need, not the kits general character.

The only thing I find to be difficult is to get the floor liner to sit right within the ear cup with Anax 2.0 mod. I like how the original Sennheiser ear cup inserts are shaped to "slot" into place due to their form fitting cup shape.

I never released an Anax 2.0 mod that didn't sit right. Or any Anax mod for that matter...yet. ;)

Sure. I should be finalizing a few tweaks hear and there soon. I anticipate a price reveal soon and will be looking for 50% deposits. I'll try to get some graphs up asap.

Done. If it helps, Vizio just came out with a new "Dolby Vision" screen if that direction appeals to you.

Good to know your making progress were getting closer.
Also, I can imagine it is quite an undertaking to make your mod public for everyone so want to say thanks for all your efforts :)

Hi, Anax
Please add me to the list if my being in Australia isn't a problem (we can work something out regarding shipping?). If not, I'll do my best to do it myself once you release more details.
Anyway, back to lurking, cheers!

Are these the parts of the process (sourcing issues persist, trials still running) that are being worked on, or is there any new news? A quick update would be sweet.

I'm happy with the HD800 stock sound but sounds like it can be that much better from what I've read.
Anaxilus - Please add me to the list as well if possible.
Thanks!

I hadn't heard a stock HD800 in a while and we had one lined up next to a modded pair yesterday. I literally went WTF :-0 Still have no idea how people get along with stock sound
-
Still have no idea how people get along with stock sound
I'm fine with HD800 stock sound but it needed a lot of time and efforts on the gear to get used to it . Remember I almost don't listen to rock/metal/pop . That helps.
I even tried to let go the HD800 during a month . During this month I listened mostly a Stax SR404 and it took maybe half an hour fo my brain to adjust when the HD800 came back. If I listened to a HD650 during the same period, it would probably have taken more than half an hour...
I currently run my HD800 without the Dust covers and with some thin rugliner. The change is not huge but I think the rugliner helps.

I'm currently trying the same method on my hd800. Quite like it. When I had a friend coming, and we went back to stock, it seem stock a bit warmer and fuzzy. Quite noticeable difference eventhough it's small.
-
For sure, I would never come back to dust covers. Stock without anything is bit too sharp. Rug liner seems to put the HD800 in a sweet spot for me and the music I listen to but it's still a HD800.
Will see with my Vali that should arrive soon. I remember the Vali is a tiny bit on the bright side but maybe it's only my memory. Final adjustments when the Stratus will be there :)p7

I used to....until Saturday. :P Now I hear it. Sibilance all over the place. And from Sinatra no less! Just need to find my X-Acto knife and pull out the rug liner. :)p1

Update, still working on sourcing enough of the right materials and refining it into an appropriate consumer product.

measure twice, cut once I say.
my stock HD800s have arrived and await the (hopefully simple) world of pyrate modding...
:money:

If it's still up I'd really love to be on the list Anax. OJ has been hyping this over at Reddit so much I can't be more excited.
I live in the Netherlands and will cover any and all shipping!
:)p1 :)p7

I'd love to get on the list - I only use stock HD800's and I do not love their sound. They're very impressive, but not musically engaging on my current equipment.
I'm in Australia, if that changes anything :)
-
If still running, count me in as well.
-
Update, still working on sourcing enough of the right materials and refining it into an appropriate consumer product.
Thanks for all the patience folks!
:)p5
Wew!
I was worried your on other projects...
?

List updated.
Still working on sourcing the proper type of materials in the proper quantity and quality. Once that happens, things can move forward a lot quicker. I'm just against putting a product out there where people could be receiving product in random colors and condition. I don't think people want to pay for that, and I don't want to deal with the potential issues that would incur. Better to get it right the first time.
As for templates, I believe Tyll and Marv posted their own for prior versions. These are NOT the same as what I will be shipping obviously, but if anyone is in a time crunch and has the ability to play around on their own please give it a go.

I considered giving you my spot on the list, but thought better of such generosity after calculating the likelihood of subsequently re-acquiring an HD800. Sorry? :)p1

I am eagerly awaiting for your visit to BIG SOUND 2015 OMG and the write up to follow.
Last weekend I tried to replicate Tyll's shape but with my own twist. It seems like the thin Creatology foam plus polyester felt works well in a thinner ring – if you make it thicker it can over dampen the drivers and mess with the sound stage (from what I read on Tyll's writeup).
So I cut out a tapered ring, where the back (where the trapezoid connects) is 10mm wide, then near the front it tapers down to 4 or 5mm. I used the same trapezoid shape.
It sounded good but it looks like V2 of the mod introduced the layer of rug liner around the rest of the ear cup. I cut up the provided shape from the v2 mod PDF and tried to stick it in but it wouldn't fit. Clipping the rings in half made it so they fit PERFECTLY over the mushy metallic material, and do not cover the foam+felt at all.
Lastly, the HD800 has plenty of treble (to my ears) and it seems like the original liner helps reduce the 3kHz attenuation (can be seen in the original HD800 vs original no liner plots) so I put the liner back in. Also I am super paranoid about ruining the driver, so the extra protection is nice.
Ohhhh boy oh boy oh boy do these HD 800s sound good. Bass actually has that low end THUMP. Songs are still quite detailed and instruments are well separated spatially, but that ear-piercing peak at 6kHz seems to be tamed. I can actually listen to my most music without wincing. Before I felt constrained to only the purest of the pure recordings and that got old kinda fast.
Thank you for your work and everyone else who has contributed to this mod. Great stuff.

Please add me to your list. Thank you!

Count me in please ;)

Long time lurker, demoed HD800 and HD650 at a local shop yesterday. First real time spent with either. If you add me to the list, I'll buy an HD800. p:3
tl;dr: Please add me to the list sir.
-
I´m in.
-
In for one, please. Great job at Tyll's.
-
Can we pay extra to get the mod in purple with fuscia tiger stripes, if that isn't the standard color scheme?
-
Please add me as well. Very interested.
-
Please add me to the list as well! (Australia)

Hey. Sadly I have to sell my HD800 to fund other stuff. If resources are limited, someone should be happy to have my spot. :)p1

One more mod buyer right here...

Well, I haven't found the description of the DIY mod but I don't want to miss out. Consider me for a spot too please, Anaxilus.

This is what I worked from more or less -
Marv's pics of his cup placement: http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,497.msg9987.html#msg9987
Materials list and purchase links on this post: http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,497.msg9997.html#msg9997 (One post down, but I figured the direct link would save a second. PDF of the template printout is also attached to that post.)
I used supertape to attach the rug liner to the creatology because it's the lowest profile adhesive I could find, but that's stupid expensive for what you get and what it does. A couple small pieces of Alene's Double-Sided should work just as well http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005572IG2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
All that said, Anax 3.0 should be a large leap over these. I consider my own mod job a bit of a placeholder...even though it sounds pretty nice.

Thank-you AustinValentine. That is very helpful!
