Sennheiser makes TOTL and Mid-Fi headphones. Having a few on hand, I thought it would be interesting to post some measurements taken during one testing session. Given numerous uncontrolled variables between different testing methods / kits, consider these graphs FWIW / YMMV ---> Compare these...

God, headphones system for 16K$... If this doesn't sound good, then I don't know what does. How many were made? I saw some data that says less than 100 systems.

If you won the lottery what headphone setup would you buy?

What would you say are the best headphones ever made, price-no-object. I know its subjective, but if you could have any one pair of headphones to use most of the time, what would it be?

I've been steadily upgrading my gear over the last several years. Currently, I'm running a Headroom Max into HD800s.   I went through several different upgrades on my way to the HD800s, with the previous step being the HD650s. Of course, both are awesome, but the HD800s are SO much more...

Everything Old Is New Again. The Jecklin Float Electrostatic: Refurbishment and Review. Intro: I have, ever since I first laid eyes on them, had a love for the Jecklin Float headphones. Last year I was lucky enough to own both the Model 2 and the Model 1 dynamic Floats. I still have the...

Reading around and and you have guys asking for recomendations on headphones that cost 200 bucks.   I wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks for a pair of headphones, if that.   I have 20 dollar sony headphones and they sound betetr than this overrpriced beats garbage or whatever

I think this might be a useful discussion. We all talk about our favorite headphones, but because we all hear in different ways we have rather different takes on them. So, let's take headphones out of the picture for a second and see what we're really after in a system. Then, we can put them...

Came across this auction on eBay today whilst browsing for 2nd hand headphones. This, however, is way out of my budget.   Wonder what they will go for.   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131320287937?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649   Thought some people here on Head.Fi might...

TOTL Headphones Review: Purk’s Perks   This past Saturday I had the great pleasure of visiting the home of a fellow headfier (Purk) to have a listen to many of the headphones that have been on my bucket list for years. The lineup:   *Stax sr-009   *Hd 800   *Sennheiser He90 (Orpheus)  ...

Hello there!   I´m new here, I´m living in germany and I am no HiFi-Specialist, but several people told me, this is the right forum for my concern.   I have got one of the 300 Sennheiser Orpheus Headphones with the corresponding tube amplifier, in a very good state. As I found out in the...

This is a constantly evolving thread about Limited Edition & Out of Production headphones worth collecting. The compilation keeps improving and I will humbly strive to compile impressions from this thread and across the internet. To bear with me in terms of speed of update as hold a very time...

Given the fact that Sennheiser decided to showcase the Orpheus headphones at CES this year, this has got me thinking that Sennheiser could possibly be thinking of a revival in some guise as a successor to the HD800's and make it their new flagship headphone. To me it seems like the next step in...

        First of all I'd like to say that I've been dreaming to listen to the legendary "Orpheus" since I'm begin to fall for headphones few years back, seem to me everyone I knew always mentioned these cans as the best electrostatics cans ever made, so once I have my chance from the...

I've always been wondering this -- at what price point does the margin of diminishing returns hit the peak, for headphones?   For example, I'm listening to my Beyer DT880-600 right now and they hold a solid ground against my much more expensive D7000's. Though given I am listening off a pretty...

Hello, I'd just like to know how the RSA A-10 drives the top notch phones like 007,009 or HE90 compared to some other electrostatic amps like WES or BHSE. have anyone tried hook up on anything above? Thanks

I was lucky enough to attend my second CES this year. As I descended to the lower lever of the south hall, the Sennheiser booth immediately dominated the view. However, there was a booth within that booth. The outer displays featured lots of commercial products; wireless, bluetooth and sporting...

Sennheiser is said to unveil a new electrostatic headphone and amplifier combination at the '12 RMAF, according to KG/spritzer. We're here for the sake of keeping all the anticipation and unverified rumor from encroaching other threads. That said, let the speculation commence... 1. A new...

Long story short, a family member passed away and I am helping to handle his audio equipment.  Among the items I found a Sennheiser Orpheus, among many other things.   I'm going to be testing it to make sure it's working fine, but is there a US service center for Sennheiser that can handle...
