There will be no successor for HD650 yet. I don't think HD800 is a successor but a higher end headphone than HD650

did the 600 ever kick the bucket? seems redundant to have both the 600 and 650 for sennheiser
 

no, it's not redundant.  The HD600 and the HD800 were Sennheisers best attempts at the most neutral sound they could muster.  The HD650 and HD850 are about sounding good.

Good point about the IE9. That´s something we can hope for. Of course we´re all looking forward to seeing HD 600+ level gear, but looking at the announcement we should get ready for disappointment.

Well it will definitely be a HD600+ level gear. Launching a CX300 replacement that sells for 30 dollars is just not exciting enough to warrant this thread.

* post removed * Good point! No need to be pessimistic... If it were just new portable gear, I doubt this thread would have been made

last year sennheiser had some like bright-yellow workout headphones or something at CES.  not audiophile grade stuff.  the hd800 was behind a glass case -______-.  Please dont disappoint again sennheiser!

I don't think Audiophiles have ever been Sennheiser's core demographic. They cater to us, but their focus will be (and rightly so) on the average consumer.

The audiophile market is indeed very important to us, and we can make that argument for all market segments we serve (recording studio, sports, broadcast, aviation, call center, audiology, touring, etc). It so happens that audiophile is the coolest of all of them (my counterparts in those other divisions would argue for their own case of course lol). Head-Fi is certainly stacked with faithful audiophiles...in addition, audiophiles who travel, game or have hobbies related to music. It is with great excitement that we can use Head-Fi as a platform for communicating exciting news as well as interact with the community. We appreciate the support and look forward to this week

Dear god... please don't let it be a successor to the HD800s... I just bought them and my wallet still hasn't recovered!

this felt like "sorry but yeah it's a cx300 with wireless"

I hope if sennheiser is ever going to make a new top tier IEM it shouldn't have the midbass hump

Having a NFL legend to show off products sounds bad for me. It will probably be something like dr.dre beats.

 

[TheDeliveryMan]

Keep guessing

 

[TheDeliveryMan]

Try again
 
Lomas Brown, our guest, is there to talk about travel, tech, football and to draw a nice crowd...CES is loaded with football fans. Lets be honest, the more eyeballs on our booth, the better.

I hate to break it to you but companies like Sennheiser don't only cater to us elitist audiophiles.  We do not make up the majority of their sales.
 
What's wrong with them trying to bring in new revenue streams?  It's that revenue that allows them to spend more on R&D for us elitist audiophiles.
