Big mistake, asking for a custom title.

You get those in reks' basement. Head on down there and wait for him.

It causes persistant acute itching of the scruttocks. I was given it as punishment for the envy* I cause in other people when they see me dance.

*Hilarity.

It seems to me that this headphone wants to be the poor man's Qualia.

$1400 isnt poor any way you cut it. It's just not as very rich.

I entirely agree. Also the fact that won't have to worry about breaking them every time I put them on is a huge plus for me.

I think they're milking the Germany thing a bit much, especially in the videos.

And you won't need a $2000 headband from Mikhail.

The real question is did they pay Steve for that stand he made?

Heh, mine got revoked.

Hey Nate, just thought I would post here as I don't want to log on to head-fi. I think Jude said somewhere that the connector looks like a lemo and that all the rep told him is that it is an easily sourced connector that any cable manufacturer should be able to get their hands on.

As for the HD800... I'm undecided as to whether it looks horrid or ok. Would really have to see them in person. They just remind me too much of headphones that I dislike right now.

Oh, and let's not forget it isn't for a long out of production phone with dwindling or unobtanium replacement parts.

Seriously, who really care what cans look like? Do you you really sit in front of a mirror looking at yourself when listening to phones? Seems to me the phones help us forget what we look like in the mirror, and the least we can forgive of them is their look.

Myself, I dig the look... but have always been a substance over form guy anyway, proven by my fugly arse builds. That said, they have great personalities, and serve up tasty morsels.

It doesn't really have a competition so it should sell well even at this price.

Denon D7000?

Grado GS1000?

Ultrasone?

There're definitely similarly priced dynamic cans out there.

I'm not trading - I'm investing. And, who needs stinking oIIs anyway? ;-)

Are you investing in time for the Dallas meet?

Didn't I see Dennon 7k for $599 at J&R yesterday? Someone was feeling the heat of a Senn release. Not so similar in pricing, imho, as the HD800 will not discount to that degree in the forseeable future.

Are you investing in time for the Dallas meet?

Yes - publicly stated in the DFW meet thread. F'ing A right I am - oh, and with enough time to break them in.

There is a lot of competition, even the hi-end AT cans and JVC can be considers as competition. The key here is will these sound like R10, Qualia and K1000 or HD650, K701 and GS1000. If they are indeed ultra hi-end cans and can compete with big guys, they will sell.

Or maybe they look like shit and sound like shit.

Indeed.

The ring tech. brings up images of (xbox360) RROD. heh

I noticed that too. I'm a little surprised that they didn't mention starting world war I and II in their german heritage video.

I thought it was a 60
