Sennheiser HD800 Appreciation Thread - Page 418
Gear mentioned in this thread:

Usually, when there's a sale like this on a normally fixed and highly priced item, such as the HD800s, it means a newly upgraded model is soon to appear. And, with the somewhat recently introduced HD700s, it increases the likelihood, i.e., HD900. Plus the HD800's have been around for quite sometime and I'm sure Sennheiser is more than ready for some added income to their treasury.
Well, I've read rumors that Sennheiser is working on next coming model, but they
won't release it too soon since the hd800 still sells well.

sennheiser usual dont replace their flagships for years the HD600 is going on 16-17 years I believe. I think the hD800 will be around for a bunch of years also.

It's also possible that they messed up a little and didn't intend to discount the HD800. I doubt Sennheiser with their price-fixing are very happy with them about it.

I doubt they're going to release a new headphone soon, the MSRP went up from €1000 to €1200 (at least in Europe), I'm really happy I got it for €900 by "talking" a bit in a authorized store. I don't have the FR graph and I have 2 years of warranty instead of 4 because I didn't buy it from retail price. But I don't really mind, I can say that I got a 25% discount if you look at the current price, and I was thinking that the 10% discount was already something.
EDIT: I should've said that the dealer is in fact authorized and that it was brand-new.

I have got it for 870 euros from an italien seller in ebay.
