Ah OK, I think someone mentioned Meier-Audio before - and there are probably other places with international shipping - but I guess you'd be buying blind then. Maybe some other Aussies on the thread can help you out!

If You make ' HD800S ' search with Head-fi 'search-engine' you can find thousands of links related to 'HD800S', including threads like this:

Thanks a lot, i'll keep looking and enjoying the first reviews as they tumble in... I have demo'd many headphones but nothing I enjoyed more than the amazing detail and resolution of the hd800, if the 's' can better that and add a little bass then i'm definately buying.

Actually, as You see, if to search 'HD800S', then lot of links are related actually to 'original/old' HD800 [i.e. 'HD800s' as search result is not 'HD800S']. It's just English grammar rules, which make detailed search for 'new HD800S' so complicated... it somehow helps if to look/sort for only new posts (about two months)

Yeah not the smartest move by Senn's marketing department. With the exception of 'O', literally any other letter would probably have been a better choice!

Yeah, if to look, then even some Head-fi'ers use for 'new HD800S' name-form like 'hd800s', 'HD800s', '800s', which is making sometimes even more problems ['about what exactly is talk about'?]

It seems, that Dutch (first) link is sending HD800S and other hp's to limited number of countries...

How is this for weird? Boat International, a website devoted to Yachting and its associated lifestyle, has named the HD800 S one of the 5 best new gadgets launching in 2016. Actually, it is the number one pick...

it seems that 'Boat International Media produces over 1.2 million magazines each year that sell in 60 countries worldwide and are published in three different languages ... ...' is the key.
No magazine (paper or digital) is out there without 'gadgets section'... when 'money is not an object' and someone can afford yacht
