Woo Hoo. . . Got my Edition 9 . . wooo hooo . . best current production headphones. . . ? and I love them.
I got number 1010, boy do these clamp on my head but nothing unusual about that at first. Too much plastic but even BMWs have plastic all over them. Now for the. . . buurn-iiin. Nice case, kind of. And very important, because my ears are normal I guess, they fit.
So why do they say made in Germany? The headband is the same as the 780's except for the skin of an animal pad. The cheap yoke that holds the earphone is exactly the same, so what is made in Germany? The people that assemble them or do they import them also? And while I don't need it, why did I get a CD with the 750 and 780 but a brochure with the 9's?

Thanks, I am sure I will. I just wish for the money a little more emphasis was placed on the types of materials used and that the headband used on the 780, which is like a 150 dollar headphone, was not used on a headphone costing 1500 though they can be purchased for less.

I agree. Despite the fact that it is well built and sturdy, the fact that it is the same plastic molding as used on the proline and hfis is somewhat disheartening. That aside, ultimately it doesn't matter because the sound is so freakin amazing.
Yeah, dead animals. I agree, even new they sound good but out of respect for us, the consumer paying hard earned (most of the time) cash, materials found in 7 and 8 hundred dollar phones wouldn't be too much to ask.
They do sound exciting though. . . . NO way am I telling the person I live with what I paid for them. Thank the audio god she hasn't even brought it up. Right now we are working on some lectures at colleges and universities to raise money for Tibetan people and one gig pays 300 that we will give to help Tibetans and look what I just paid.. .

Ok, sounds like the 780's? Sorry but these sound nothing like the 780 to me. Though the headband looks the same. lol
Oh, and I got the new bass adjusted version, you know, the ones after 1000.
gag, kidding.
