Here is the link, http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/sennheise...-review-398829/

They look to be priced at an unconfirmed 1,399 USD.

I will be looking at buying a pair at the end of this year or early next year.

QUOTE
Sennheiser's new HD800 is (yes, again, even this early on) one of the best headphones I've heard of any type, period.


Check out the thread. NOW!

IMO, it looks too "futuristic".

The HD650 had a better look. Being simple and elegant.

But at a price of 1k, it's not going to be easy for average folks to save enough money for this one sad.gif

definitely reminds me of Sony SA5000 + Qualia 010, the cable connecting part looks almost exactly the same design.

don't be silly to wood it. That would damage all the acoustics. Would you woody a L3000? or for that matter the Qualia 010? This is in the same vein.

It really looks like those "fakes" HD800 circulating around for the past few months and I thought the HD680 will be out first. Sennheiser really took a big step forward to have such a futuristic design for their full size headphone and it is quite unbelievable that it is hand-made. At this price, HD800 better be the best headphone made ever.Anyway, really eager to see some reviews for HD800 which is claimed to be one the best dynamic headphone in the world.

Note: Details and pictures also available at http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_...ct=500319&row=1

very futuristic and hopefully it can reign in top of vintage headphones like akg 1k and L3000 .....or sony ra10..

I fail to understand your logic. I doubt there will be a HD850. Moreover, the HD600 sounds better than the HD650.
