I hope they plan on releasing some MORE press releases soon (about some new flagship headphones)! I thought 2007 was the year of the IEM... :sadbasshead:

Haven't we had enough IEMs? Honestly... 
If the IE-7 is more comfortable but just as neutral as the Ety ER-6 and in the same price category, I'm all over them. Otherwise, eh, it's yet another IEM.

So far we have seen:
Dynamic IEM:
IE6 - the bassy model.
IE7 - the neutral/balance model
IE8 - capable of changing bass level.
CX6 Travel - possibly IE6 with the airline adapter (increase impedance too)
From the picture of press release, I think they all come with memory wire like UE
Wireless earbud: MX-W1 based on Kleer technology.
Guess that sum up Senn. new products for CES08 so far, right?

Boo Sennheiser.
I was also hoping for a electrostatic.
But let's face it. They are a large business that needs to move product. Offering products to accessorize the latest FOM MP3 player will do it.
I was also hoping they would make a headphone I actually liked

They were going to release the HD-1, but it sounded so good that it ate the entire engineering team, and never got out of prototyping.

I can't agree more!
I was hoping Sennheiser would release a headphone that I would like to buy, and that I most probably would end up liking. But hopefully they release it sometime in the future...

That said, an IEM with adjustable bass could be kind of useful

I just ordered a pair of Sleek SA6 that can do even more than that.
I am really disappointed in Sennheiser's CES revelations so far....

Ah well, the day is not over yet.
Otherwise I will just switch L and R ear pads on my goodold HD600 to make it feel like something new. And there is something unusual sitting on the other end of the desk...
