Again, thank you.   I seems like the big question is whether there ever been instances of Beyer not hot-stamping their Custom 600 Ohm versions...

  Yup.  Already crossed my mind.  I have no clue where my multi-meter went thought, so I need to buy a new one.  In the meantime, I was hoping for verdict on the information that I do have.

  Thanks for the picture, so that part appears to not be entirely false...though lack of correct sticker still seems very un-German-like to me LOL  Any input jack stamping?   I do own DT990-250 (as well as DT1350), but I tossed that box a decade ago plus they are in a different state right...

  Personally I remember at least 4 in 2015 (in addition to the 1st 2 in 2014).  Definitely way more than 2 regardless.  I would not worry about waiting as this appears to be a huge cash cow for both parties.

So I have a bit of situation I hope ya'll help with...I purchased DT880 600 Ohm Manufaktur through MassDrop, but not convinced it is the correct version. While the top of the box has "600 Ohm" checked, the bottom of the box indicated 250 Ohm and the headphone jack is not hot-stamped with "600"...

Might have to check it out.  I have been using mine with jetAudio player on my phone and tablet and loving it.  Thus far these have been an end-game IEM for me.  I have not even thought about getting another high end set since buying these last year.

Fan-freaking-tastic chapter.  That needs to be a sticky post or required reading for new members.  For a while my rabbit hole was the same at Jason's (along with photography equipment) though I cannot claim to have owned nearly the same caliber of cars.  And since waking up from that I could...

  Looks like I better educate myself :)  Thanks for the link.     Please do not take this the wrong way, but I am extremely amused that after disclaiming I have mere mortal hearing, a low end gear set up and no format loyalty...the reply I get is from someone who exclusive listens to the...

I have read through the thread, but still do not have any idea as to the practical difference between the two Bifrost models (or why they are more awesome than prior generation).  I greatly appreciate the detailed technical information provided and applaud people's ability to comprehend it...but...

  No idea.  Never shipped anything to Canadia, but cannot imagine it would be THAT expensive.  If you don't care for the box, the tips easily fit inside a regular envelope.  If you want to PM me your info I will look into it over the weekend.   P.S. To Big Brother, hopefully I am not breaking...

So I tried out the JVC Spiral Dot tips and they did not help the comfort or sound for me.  Biggest culprit I assume is sizing; I bought Mediums and probably need Large.   Is anyone interested since I have no use for them?  There were 6 to the packages and I A/B-ed 2 of them for an hour or so...

  Out of curiosity, compared to what other IEMs did the IE80 sounded veiled?

  Are you guys talking about these?  Been contemplating playing around with tips on mine.   http://www.amazon.com/VICTOR-EP-FX9M-B-Spiral-Earpiece-Size/dp/B00JSLXNOC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442001923&sr=8-2&keywords=jvc+spiral+dot+tips

  Oh the world we live in where Amperior is a "downgrade" sound LOL Thanks for the info.  Gives me something to consider. 

Has it been mentioned how HD7s compare to Amperiors and DT1350s?  I own the latter two and wondering if it will be worth the purchase ($170 on MassDrop).  I don't care just to scroll through 65 pages for nothing LOL 

  That's funny.  You were the one that first stated your personal impression as it was a hard fact and then get offended when others state their opposing views.  But I agree to each their own. 

  Amazon always had that.  The only difference between the two...wait for it...packaging languages.  That's it.   http://en-us.sennheiser.com/global-downloads/file/2486/542574_IE_80_SpSh_08_2011_GB_low.pdf   I did not pay close attention to the box given the purchase source...They...

  I bought mine directly from Amazon these past holidays and do not recall any obvious stickers.  If I don't forget, I will try to find and look over the original box one more time this weekend.

If i can deviate for just a second, what is the difference between "real volume pot" and non-real "volume control chip"?  As mentioned on Fulla's product page?  P.S.  I wanted to buy one and was bummed they are out of stock =(

  Damn. That sucks.  Before you do anything may be it is worth contacting Sennheiser and see if they can do anything for you?  That's an awfully small piece to glue back too...Sucks nevertheless.  Keep us posted regardless!
