Try to compare with velour pad on the hd25 , please !
I found the hd25 sound better with velour pad (cleaner mid-high, less pronounced mid bass).

Got it from Apple Store. I think they ran out of stock again.
I'm not really good/pro at comparing these. But all I can say is it sounds relatively different to the HD25s.
Check my previous post on my initial impressions.
when the guy said they were only being released in Apple stores he was correct... I've got a massive argument with my hi-fi dealer going on.
Who's your dealer?
Custom whatever headphones in UK (I'll pm you the dealer but that should be enough to find them, the clue is in 'custom')... you know the coo... they say they're taking pre-orders & will send the headphones out on day of release, so you then part with your hard earned scheckles... then you read that someone has got their's and you think wtf where are mine, so you phone to see where they are and the dealer says, looks like they've been released in Apple stores & Sennheiser have confirmed that and we should have ours in a few weeks they have said... wtf
Damn..Can't find the headphones on the online store of Apple.
Just have to wait for July then :-(
yeah I tried that, I may go to the Apple Store at Bluewater on Sunday and just order some if they aint got them in.
Just called the apple stores around SoCal and apparently they're still not available over here. 
The Amperior will only be available from Apple for the first two months, according to Sennheiser.
And - only in-store and not on-line - if it's on the same contract as the HD 700 and 800.
just goes to show that there will be a lot of people who will be mightily disappointed with placing a pre-order delivery, this after the dealer proclaims you will have them the day of release... it appears money comes before any form of honesty.
I officially joined 'Club Amperior' today! 
Straight out the box these headphones sound amazing - wow! I've got shivers up and down my spine listening right now (and it ain't cold in my room). 
Welcome to the club.
Where did you get it from in the end Windsor?
Got it from the Apple store in Stratford, London (for anyone else interested, they had another two pairs of the silver and a few of the blue version). Great shopping mall, too - the biggest in Europe apparently.
Have you noticed any change in the sound of your Amperior since you got it?

Yes. I agree with you straight out of the box is a bit wow.
Bass has tightened up after 15+ hours burning in (rather than being too boomy - it's the right amount for me). Soundstage gradually widening too.
How different would you describe when comparing the Amperior to the HD 25s?
