Can probably hear all the way to RA with this, and hear if the one who picked it up is wearing boxers or briefs at the moment :D

so they skipped 700

wont make u a better player

who said anything about games m8

But maybe a better listener.

"Hold on, my headphones are fucking me"

That better be the statement I hear from someone wearing those who just dropped $1400 on them.

i'm not a big sennheiser fan but these are supposed to sound amazing

i want em :(

Why the shit have I not looked at Head-Fi for half a month? I know they talked about these a lot, but didn't know they had materialised. $1400 though? Does the HE90 even sell for that these days?

obv drive em str8 from dac to 'phones

maybe i should have bought this one instead of http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en....ise_500788 ? :)

if you're not a helicopter pilot

Let the hype begin... the world of hi-end audio is a big pile of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias.

Anyway, they look like a 100$ OmFG 7.1 surround sound with double subwoofer!111 pair of headphones.

I agree there, they do look kind of odd for a high end headphone.

damn it looks good

So what headphones would be a good choice in the mid-price-range?

Depends how much mid-price is.

And what your source is. And your amp. And your musical taste.. ..

And your own opinion on the sound of all of those combind anyway :P You can never actually guarantee you're going to get something you like, but with places like Head-Fi you can get a pretty good idea.

Yeah. Im enjoying my DT880 + little dot mk3, but I keep thinking if the k701s would've been better.

i have audio technica ath-a700's with an xfi xtreme music
pretty happy with it

k nvm

why bother paying that much when you listen to mp3

word.

ewww
flac ftw
(studio leak or release, not 128bit mp3 converted to flac)

design looks like $80 trashy headphones

Yeah. 600 and 650 are pure class. wtf is this?

You either have to be so rich that it doesn't matter or an absolute fucking moron to buy these.

or someone who actually knows what they're doing and needs these for whatever purpose. but you don't listen to music, so what do you know.

he watches stargate sg-1!!

yeah idd, until it's stood the test of time it's not worth investing in new audio tech imo, would rather grab something along the line of sr 404, RS1, ish

these look like 30$ cheapass cans from china tbh.

hindu headphone helps you levitate

The technology you pay for today, was discovered 20 years ago
yet companies don't wanna spend money for radical changes in the production process all of a sudden until they exhaust all possibilities to sell their products at overprice, so they just graduately rise the available technology for the people, expecting to cover all technology changes from the retard people which pay thousands and thousands of dollars for the already obsolete 2m flat LCDs
U know when were OLEDs http://www.pinktentacle.com/images/flexible_o...isplay.jpg discovered ? Try a guess.

I don't know what it is with Senners, but most of them look really hidious to me.

These were no exception.

i think its cool but not overdone design
well, you do want to be noticed with your 1400 piece :)

only for the rich, with 10000 euros of other equiptment

HD202's for me :D

hd 25s

I'm not experet of sound systems, but I know some AMP`s cost ~500 000 dollars, some speakers cost ~150 000 each, so it's like 1.5 dollar for such quality sound system..

etc: "The most expensive headphones in the world originally retailed for around $15,000 and can still be found for less than $30,000. Of course, if you plan on hooking them up to your iPod, you’ll need to leave the amp at home."

or "The ULTRASONE Edition 9 Limited Edition S-Logic Natural Surround Sound Headphones are certainly a luxury to be had by the most discriminating audiophile. At a retail price of $1499.00, they’d better sound good."

These do not cut out outside sounds, they are meant to be listened to in a totally quiet room.

Obviously this makes them not ideal for gaming.

The other issue is that your fps game is not going to put out near the quality of sound to take advantage of these.

head direct RE0 costs only 80$ and some say those are better than
Sennheiser HD650. And re0 is in ear, cut outside sounds very well. And they are very comfy to wear.
