I'd like to hear one someday, would be nice to get some frequency measurements to see how it measures and then compare how it sounds subjectively.

People kept telling me hd800 is bright and unnatural and I expected it to be an issue and it turned out that its kind of tunning was very agreeable to me and way less of a problem than I thought looking at graphs.

Yeah I'd like to see a measurement too, but honestly, a graph is just a graph. The one thing you trust above all else is your own ears. If your ears enjoy what you hear, a graph means nothing as long as you enjoy the presentation of what you're hearing :)

Also yeah, I had the same impression of the HD800 prior to buying it, but it wasn't as bad either. It sounded EXTREMELY natural as well, timbre wise.

I wanted to ask, have you ever heard any of the Foster bio cellulose drivers? Or a modded version of it like the ones in the newer Denon headphones?

I've noticed that for clarity and intimacy I prefer closed headphones like those and as an HD800 owner you might appreciate the more fun yet fairly neutral presentation of something like the Denon D5200 or Fostex th610.

I have not had a chance to try them.
