bhd812 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Todd the Vinyl Junkie is taking orders now, mine is the second set and they are shipping in March! might want to get in on this now before the rush, one thing is Senn is strict on pricing so your going to pay $1400.00 either way...

Smeggy Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Damnation, I wish all those Senn fanboys would fuck off the boards while I'm trying to read my ortho threads. The server's too busy... with Sennheisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 They should just lock that entire thread into memory so that it doesn't get swapped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Now there's bravery. I hope they don't suck. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the initial reviews on Head-Fi will be pretty uniformly positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Not any more, I'm down to one set now and the 800 would need to be something really special for me to let these go Even thinking such a thing would be blasphemy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It'll be a review-bukkake-bonanza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Now there's bravery. I hope they don't suck. I also placed a pre-order with Headroom. They are far more informative and expect the first shipment mid-Feb with Tyll apparently getting a demo pair at the end of the month. I figure if they do suck I can still sell them within a month for what I bought them for In the end this is still a lot cheaper than my electrostatic experiment.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have high hopes for their sound. And I don't think they're fugly. Just...not black enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the initial reviews on Head-Fi will be pretty uniformly positive. They have to make them sound better than HD650, no? A lot of people love HD650, so I figure, the reviews from Sennheiser fans will be positive. When someone with O2 and BH gives them a listen and really likes when he heard, I will pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good job Billy, mine is the first set on Todd's list! Everybody should be going to Todd and Tyll to get these cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhd812 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I also placed a pre-order with Headroom. free two day fedex when i ordered from ttvj, but since these guys cant move on price they will move on shipping..probably all of them will. either way ttvj/hr/amazon will get them in at the same time as any other product does. i find it funny people think these are going to go down in price already...they were just announced and these people can tell me when price is going down? on a hand made flagship? hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It'll be a review-bukkake-bonanza. Explain please. I only know the porn definition of that word, and then only because I have teenage nephews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 On second thought that's probably exactly what you meant. the reviews will be messy and filled with wasted potential, maybe? Sigmund would be proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end both HR and Amazon will give whatever price they end up selling for as I have confirmed with HR and Amazon has in their user policy. I'm excited about these since I've been dying for Qualias and the look like they could be a worth replacement. As long as they didn't do the HD650 sound to them. But to be honest if the THD is as low as they claim then my correction will work so well it will not really matter. I figure then I can get rid of my 650s, D5000s and stockpile another pair maybe though there is no talk of them being limited run. That said the market for high end is not doing well and a lot of statement products are dropping out of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
