I dont know should I be sad or happy but I just baught the hd800s today and now I see this and What. Any ways to know wish is better product?

The simple solution is to enjoy your 800S until the 820 comes out, at which point you can give me your 800S freeing up space for you to have the 820! Happy to help a brother out.

other companies are watching this release and are getting worried

 

[Imusicman]

I wonder if they will be easy to drive? Here's hoping

Congrats - these look really interesting... Can´t shake the feeling that these will be a step up from the HD 800 S despite being a closed design.

Any chance you´ll be doing a Head-Fi community Q&A on these before the launch?

Oh that sounds great, maybe I'l trow a shure se846 on top for some extra cashew toward a good deal to get more cashew to get the hd820

With the exception of the somewhat misunderstood/rare HD630VB, this plugs a hole in the Sennheiser range that's been missing - a no-compromises, audiophile full-sized close-back set of cans. I simply cannot wait to try these alongside my ZMF Eikons; and also alongside the HD800s to compare the similarities (and differences). One can assume soundstage/air may suffer slightly, and bass impact may increase due to reflections, but very keen to find out how Axle and team have managed to deal with reflections via dampening, as well as that cleverly contoured concave gorilla glass.

Oh, and they look amazing. They may have just stolen the "Darth Vader's cans" mantle from the Beyerdynamic DT1770!

Lol they certainly look like they were made by the dark side of the force!.

@Sennheiser 6 months wait?
Please, don't get me wrong, I love Sennheiser and definitely will be checking this new model, but why such a large wait time?

 

[Satir]

Might just bump-up sales of more affordable performance-to-cost cans like Aeon Closed.

 

[FastAndClean]

It's expensive because it look good.

don't steal

 

[FastAndClean]

Unless you suddenly have a need for isolation

or better bass extension

 

[Scutey]

Think I'm going to have to check these out when they finally arrive.

 

[dxanex]

Nice! Haven't really cared too much about any new high-end headphones/flagships lately. That all changed today...

Quality Assurance; manufacturing; distribution; and creating some good-old "demand" : )

or better bass extension

This... I hope you all understand the main reason all Beats headphones are closed. It´s not just about blocking out outside noise. They wouldn´t be called Beats if they were open. No hyperbole, just saying: expect the most extended highest resolution bass ever done in a dynamic headphone.

That would be music to my ears!.
