Sennheiser Launching New Products at CES!
Sennheiser Launching New Products at CES! (And We'll Be There!)
I recently received an invitation from Sennheiser to cover a special product launch on January 6, 2008 at CES in Las Vegas (the night before CES officially opens), and I'm takin' it. We'll have the scoop, and will have the first public listen in the world to these products. I'll also be covering it, on the spot, via a Podcast and on the forums. I received an ahead-of-time teaser, and what we are going to see/hear--considering all the speculation this year--is, in my opinion, probably unexpected from Sennheiser.
Mark your calendars!
I know some other Head-Fi.org Sponsors will have some exciting new products, too, so this should be a fun few days (that's all I had time for was a few days, so I won't be at CES for that whole week).

Crazy. Well, people are expecting the HD800 and a new venture into Electrostatics. I can't wait to see what we're actuially getting.
Maybe both, just in the same headphone?

That can only mean the long-awaited upgrade to the HD650; they must have a prototype for display/listening. We expect detailed listening notes.

Very exciting! I was half expecting to get Rick Roll'd here, but maybe we'll finally catch a glimpse of the mythical HD 700?
I'm always confused as to what people mean when they say something like "a true 5.1 headphone system". From my understanding, the notation of 5.1 means there are 5 "full-range" channels, and 1 channel dedicated to a limited range of frequencies. Does that mean 5 drivers and a subwoofer attached to your head?? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Not what we expect?
I don't expect PX101.
Bummer.

Jude, can you let slip a hint as to pricing? Some of us would like to start budgeting! 
Sounds like a new flagship is rolling out, whatever it may be.
This means price drops for the HD-650 and HD-600. If anyone is looking to buy a pair of these, it would be wise to hold off for now.
Also, any clue as to when these will hit the market?
And FOTM begins now!
