Sennheiser Worldwide: Microphones, Headphones and Wireless Systems

 

[Shahrose]

uh oh, those canadian reps are gonna get rundown by the head-fi mob now.
those iems look interesting though. i'm already curious to see how they match up against the current offerings.

 

[progo]

Hot damn! Where's me HD700! :weep:

 

[PPkiller]

 

[MontyPythizzle]

Where does it say no HD650 replacement, or am I just not seeing it?

 

[chouman]

you're right, it doesn't say. that's the point. instead, they showcase the new sennheiser iems.

 

[Contrastique]

According to Judes blog the coolest stuff still has to be covered like around 6, 7 and 8 januari:
Sennheiser Invites Me To A CES Launch - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

And no, Jude mentioned before it would be something we'd never expect from Senn so a new hd650 is highly unlikely regarding that statement I think, which pleases my ears more than anything.

 

[QQQ]

The title is incorrect. There will never be 650 replacement. It's already has it place in headphone world. HD 650 was not a replace for HD 600, just another headphone. Still new flagship is coming, they just not revealing it yet. A surprise!!

Sorry in advance. Please regard the following as pure speculation. Don't want it to sound like some conspiracy theory BS.
We've got Sennheiser announcing 3 new dynamic IEMs.
It's been stated somewhere on this forum that Senn outsources the R&D for their non-fullsize cans. If memory serves me well the name OVC was mentioned.
Last year we had 3 dynamic earbuds from a company nobody has ever heard of with fantastic sound and the drivers stuffed into the cheapest shells possible. I'm listening to one of them right now, and it's hard for me to believe the research work resulting in such a great product was done by complete newbies in the field.
It would be very interesting to see the impedance ratings of the new Senns...

 

[Jon L]

LOL. So I was correct when I guessed on Jude's thread Senn will be announcing IEM's to nibble at the IEM market dominated by UE, Shure, etc.

Not that hard to guess, really. For Senn, it's all about business, profit, moving large quantities of products, while discontinuing actual good products that don't make money, i.e. Senn HE90/60. Understandable, but regrettable nevertheless...

hmm still holding out for a peizo headphone or planar... it's still right at the start of CES. IEM's are not unexpected (due to the success of sure and such like) so the good stuff must still be to come.

It's quite well known that the CX300 is a Foster Japan product. Not that a company the size of Sennheiser has to single-source - they could be building with OVC too.

You know, I've always wanted a IEM to sound like the HD650, and maybe finally I'll get my wish! Oh wouldn't that be lovely.

Those IE 8 looks like somthing really! Adjustable bass without a distorting EQ sound sweet.

wireless headphones look like a bad idea though as you tripple the amount of battries needed!
