Rosmadi,    Could you tell us more about the warranty?

  I though the number one guru was Tyll?  

Yeah, it can be irritating, but I thought he was right about the headphones, that it lost its glitter and they overestimated the demand. 

With all due respect, Rosmadi, but if you can not guarantee the quality and especially the safety of the headphones when paired with systems from other manufacturers, then why would you that? I, for one, wouldn't want to jeopardize the safety aspect.   Now, if you had the utmost confidence and...

Probably. The marketing and R&D costs.

  I'm very curious to audition these babies. With my business progressing so well nowadays I can afford it. But the real question is, are they that good? I am not going to spend that amount of cash on something that does not impress me and believe me I have very high standards. ;) Judging from...

My point is the price for the first Orpheus was and still is very high. It was meant to be a statement product just like this one. I think people here should quit complaining about it. I mean did you really expect Sennheiser would price this thing like its predecessor? If yes, then BIG mistake...

When Sennheiser first debuted the Orpheus back in 1991 it cost (if I am not mistaken) $16,000. Now that was a lot of money back then, wasn't it? 

  Well to be fair, it's $55,000 for the headphone system :)   I think what we need to understand here is that this has never been planned as a mass produce. It's like haute couture. The term refers to any unique stylish design made to order for wealthy and high-status clients. It's  made from...

I hope so. I've sent a message to Rosmadi, but he hasn't replied yet. Hopefully he can clarify.

Ha! Well, I'd have to audition these babies first, before buying. Now that's the tricky part. They sayed they will touring it around Europe and the US, but no actual dates. 

If everything goes fine, hopefully I will :) Although, I guess I'd have to fly to London (or somewhere nearby) and buy it from there. Can't imagine ordering these online and then dealing with local custom charges.  

Perhaps it's true about the trickle down effect and hopefully they will release a lil' brother -- a somewhat more affordable that is -- eventually

It's on my Christmas shopping list! 

  Well, even though we're still guessing, the fact is this headphone system is going to be well beyond most head-fiers means, unless they opt to sell the headphones separately in which case it's going to be a bit more affordable.     EUR 30- 35,000 is pretty much what I would expect to be the...

Sorry for the bad translation, blame Google! ''The German family enterprise celebrates its seventieth Sennheiser anniversary this year. The two brothers Andreas and Daniel took over the management of her father George, who in turn then taken over by his father, the founder Fritz Sennheiser...

The as-yet unnamed product will launch on 3 November, with more information being revealed gradually on Sennheiser's "Reshaping Excellence" website as the date approaches.

I am not entirely sure but I think I am having some minor channel imbalance issues with my unit (K10U). It's noticeable on some tracks. Can someone tell me how one tells whether there's an imbalance or not? Of course, I am still in the ''burn-in'' stage process, so maybe that has to do anything. 

  Sucks? lol how come?

Right all works now, except for that popping/clicking sound (like in the old day recordings lol) in my headphones whenever the music is on.  

Thanks, buddy!

  I just checked and apparently I did not receive the manual for some odd reason. Is there any place online where I can download it?

Interesting. Like I sid I go to USB connection section and choose DAC Input , I get 'Unable to use device during USB DAC connection''. But once the usb cable is unplugged both from the device/laptop, I can use the DAC mode. Now why can't I use it when I try to plug it into the laptop? Or is this...
