The "S" owners have a review thread to chirp away in but anything OG HD800 related can go here without disrupting things elsewhere.
I know @Robbo99999 has a pair and is struggling to find an EQ that is just right, largely for the bass.
To my mind these are not the 'phones to go for for tight, deep, punchy bass (hope all will get what I mean with that Headfi-esque description) and adding too much bass makes it lose definition so these are never going to be bass cannons.
With that in mind- my EQ- apologies it is on the RME so exporting isnt easy. Salient points being a 25hz Q0.5 peak of 2db to add a bit of texture, 220hz Q0.5 dip of a couple of db to de-muddify (to me makes the lower bass stand out more too) then a Low shelf at 105db Q0.7 to taste- if I bump this past about 2 db things just get wooly.
