It makes them feel warm (pun intended) and fuzzy.

no head-fi thread would be complete without it

So right out of box they sound OK. I mean just okayyy. after 54.5 hours they start to open up a little bit. I mean a tad bit. At 125.7 hours of usage time they reach their full potential with the HDVD800 am which needs precisely 139.6 hours run-in time. yeah it's a time consuming hobby! sorry for your social life!

Yeah, and 2,67 pint of fresh-made dark Snake Oil too, between each listening sessions

Well, this thread is going well.

I hate to add to the BS and noise, but is there any chance of someone posting some 800 S impressions anytime soon?
 
Already in need of a mod doing some tidy up (including this post BTW).
Surely there are other threads if people just want to talk trash?

It seems, that Sennheiser production line was/is little 'too small'(?) to fulfill the needs of customers, so 'first set' of 800S was sold out quickly and not so many Head-fiers have HD800s at this moment... but something is said already on the first page of this thread and here , plus episodically in other threads (if to search carefully).

I have another audition lined up later today and I can already feel the cash burning a hole in my pocket.

Canada still waiting to be dropped shipped. :rolleyes:

While we are all waiting with baited breath for more impressions. Here is another interview with a Senn rep, Tom... 
 

 
Paraphrasing what's in the video he says:
 

1. Evolutionary improvement over HD800
2. Added acoustic absorber.
3. Smooth frequency response
4. Makes the sound fuller, more balanced, more forgiving
5. More musical

Teasing, not fair.:wink_face:

Also does anyone know of where to find some in stock?
