Why not dual side entries for the cable?

Anybody able to identify the Amp at the release photo?

These are flat plate measurements, which can’t really be reliably used as well as a HATS measurement

Ahhh yesss!! I've been trying to figure out what open can to go for, torn between the HD6xx, or saving a little more and going for a used Sundara or SRH 1840.

But if what DMS says about these is true, I think I may have found the can I'm looking for right here. And just in time for my birthday in November!

Still the convenient form factor of the HD 559 and HD 599, though it may be worth noting that the single entry is a TRRS jack.

So exciting at a budget!!! I really want these to compliment my 58x. Love to review these.

I'm a bit vague in my understanding of where this sits in terms of sound quality. I have it somewhere between the HD58X Jubilee and the HD660s. Am I to believe it exceeds the HD600 in clarity and bass extension? It then becomes a question of preference vs the warm sound profile of the HD650/6XX?

Also, does this signal the end of any of the HD5x9 offerings? Specifically the HD599?

I just placed my order. Looking forward to hearing it. Based on the reviews it will be a nice addition, something to add variety to the line-up and, why not, time to hear what a little extra sound stage means with the awesome Sennheiser 600-type neutral sound. Understanding that it won't (nothing will?) replace or come too close to the awesome HD-600.

As a very short aside on the price, and please don't cast stones, I own many, many Sennheiser sets, so I am definitely not being negative just to be difficult: a bit disappointed to see that the U.S. market gets it for $217 and in the EU we get it for €199. This difference doesn't cover the import costs really. In the EU we keep subsidizing the U.S. market (see Qobuz and many other EU companies). If Sennheiser were a U.S. company, this would be $199 in the U.S. (with massive sales frequently) and €250 in the EU with zero sales ever.

Seeing as this has a 4 pole connector... can it be made balanced?

Yes

Wow Looks really good and promising

Yes, I get it, but you may hear audible difference when the user decides to upgrade to much higher quality cable given thestock wire is only OFC going from the left to the right ear piece. I had this happen to me with the a Silver dragon on the HD598.

@Sennheiser @Evshrug

it says $217 plus applicable tax free shipping on product page, but at check out it says $199.99 free shipping, and 14 for my tax.

just wondering is there a hidden discount for pre-orders or something?

also, it says 60 day money back guarantee, but only 30 day refund policy. just curious which it is. never dealt with digital river calling before, are refunds easy with them if i end up not liking this? if i like it more than my hd58x im gonna sell my hd58x for around 90-100 and keep this
