That is some eye opening discount!

Perhaps this post should be the new welcome message for newcomers instead of “sorry for your wallet”!

These are very insightful conversations, you all are doing a great service to the community! Thank you!

Hmmm, Being a Sennheiser fan, I did pick up both an hd700 and an hd820 at parts of my journey… let’s just say they really didn’t hit it like the other well know Sennheisers did both in terms of sound (hd700), ergonomics and fit (hd820) and price. I don’t know what the internal story is for...

Excellent excellent video. Thank you Sennheiser folks for answering community questions and educating the masses. After buying and selling many headphones for 20+ years, I really appreciate the Sennheiser philosophy of putting out good products that have a high shelf life. with that said, that...

If they indeed aren’t aligned with the sale, a message like this may be better off shown on their official website than Reddit…

Why do i even come to this website ... After years of discipline, I managed to get rid of many headphones and here I am falling back into the abyss again cause of you all… you people and Amazon are a terrible influence!

True words, One important part of this hobby that’s not talked about nearly enough is what one actually wants from their audio chain. I would totally agree that if what they want truly can only be achieved with the TOTLs, it makes sense for them to prioritize what’s important to them and pay the...

Better value perhaps but champion… I would give it some time before declaring that. Pricing for headphones has gone off the deep end in my opinion. I do understand that value can be subjective though so maybe you’re right :)

I have not yet managed to dare to venture beyond hd8x0 type of pricing. The stuff at 5k, I may just never get on my head … ignorance is wallet bliss!

Market correction at its finest … this, and the hd700 were definitely priced inadequately at release based on how the market reacted. Jury still out on their newest release…

Good to see this working out for some folks. I jumped on it at release but ran into the seal issue that’s well know in these forums. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get it to seal right - the cups somehow felt too heavy for the yokes they are attached to. When I forced a seal by pressing...

Ah! So there is a new flagship coming in the foreseeable future. This is really good to know. Thank you sir for speaking plainly! Any other “speculations” you may have are welcome :). Cheers,

This may just be a remnant of the past, they did try higher prices with the HD820 and the HD700… fortunately the market spoke and prices came down. I do think the the 600/650/800S are great when purchased at the regular sale prices. They may lose more than a few if they decide to go with the...

That looks like an 820/variant, closed back. The survey was about open 800 variants I believe. Hopes of patent applications making it to market is a rabbit hole best left unexplored though so coming back the thread, when will Sennheiser tell us what the survey is for or if/when we’re going to...
