    Well all that aside I'm still for 4.4mm because it seems like it's a good compromise in form factor, that's the one decent thing in this whole mess if it becomes widely adopted.

    HD800 has been discontinued since August 2018, word just takes forever to travel on that. No price change on the HD820 and HD800S. XLR cable is now an accessory option.

    So $300 cable just taken off without a price decrease? I wonder what that signals...

    Or did it get replaced by the 4.4mm balanced? Sorry the OP wasn't clear to me

    That cable will cost near enough the same to make as the new one. The $300 for a separate cable is daylight robbery and not representative of it’s true cost.

    HD820 came with a 1/4", 4.4mm and XLR but they have removed the XLR. 820 and 800S now both have the same cable options. Aftermarket cables for 800 series ain't cheap, those connectors are pricey.

    Yoke is thicker on the HD820 over the HD800 and HD800S, I can take some pics of the old yoke on the HD800S next to the HD820 side by side

    If you can adapt the 4.4 to XLR the problems not too bad

    According to the photos, I apparently snuck in during the weird yoke/cable interregnum last month. My 800S has the new yokes and they gave me a coupon code for a free XLR cable! Yissss.

    My sennheiser rep confirmed going forward, they will not be including the XLR coupon in the 800s packaging
