New flagship IEM's from Senn:  https://en-us.sennheiser.com/ie-900

They are $1300

No, they're $1,600. You must have seen the Euro numbers.

$1,600 for standard, one size fits all IEMs seems a bit steep to me. I guess if the market will bare it?

There is a video review from that other place

Spoiler

 

I'm seeing £1099 (GBP)  1299 (EUR) 

https://www.whathifi.com/us/news/sennheiser-ie-900-earbuds-announced-with-eye-watering-price

so may be $1299  depending on conversion rates they want to use ...

There's an announcement thread on HF, someone specifially asked about the US retail price and the Senn rep said:

I suspect everyone will moon Senn over this.

There is a small market for high-end universal-fit IEMs, but I guess they're about to find out how small.  😓

All it takes is just one ore two...

For a 'flagship' IEM $1300 is damn near a bargain these days.  It's absolutely nuts.

Very true and that’s just sad.  $1300 is not that expensive next to Effect Audio King Arthur or something like that.

Some decent information in this interview
