I'm going to test it tomorrow as my retrailer here in France called me today to tell me that they received some. \o/

Yes I am in the UK and pre-ordered it from one of Sennheiser dealers.

However, it says on their website (as of ages ago), that the HD 700s are due to be available on 21st May. I wonder if that has changed? Hmm...

Don't rush buying the HD700's even if you will like them after auditioning.

Just saying... *cough*

Probably. As John said, they are already in the UK and they are in shops in France and Sweden as well. 

Hopefully, I'll wake up early enough to go listen to them and maybe even bring a pair home since they have a 30-day return policy if I remember correctly.

This will be pretty sweet, only because of all the people who will sell their HD 800 now for cheap. I think they will come to see the HD700 isn't as good. I know Jude said it surpasses it in some ways, but let's face it. every new headphone that comes out is better than everything that has come before it. Lots of psychological FOTM has burned me many times.

I doubt that anyone is going to sell their HD800 for cheap.

Are you in London? If so, where can I audition it?

No, I'm in Sweden.

Not going to have a listen for at least a few hours to be honest! Will probably take the setup home with me for a decent listen over the weekend. :D
