Were you expecting a ruler flat line?

Well I admit not knowing what I'm even looking for - I was surprised to see the small but wide suck-out from 1-4k, but again, maybe that's a good thing. I suppose I also wasn't expecting that spike at 6k. Though, the fact that they are only about -3dB at 10hz is pretty amazing!

It's interesting to see the huge differences in measurements. For example, the current 650 graph looks markedly different from the original 650 graph that was in the HR measurements v1, particularly in the treble. You don't see those kinds of discrepancies with properly controlled speaker measurements.

What will be very interesting will be to compare these with the graphs that Sennheiser will supposedly be publishing with each headphone. I suspect we will see big differences there too...

of all the internet shock videos, this one is the worst! the other ones my buddies have shown me have simply left a bad taste in my mouth or fire in my belly. Not a single one has spent $3500+ of my future income for me!

Tyll, I noticed that you listen with the HR max amp. I am sure you have tried the HD800 on all the HR amp line. I have the Ultra Stack /DPS and I've just preordered the HD800 on your site, can you tell me how does the hd800 sound through the ultra stack? Can the ultra stack drive it w/ ease or should I be looking for something higher to bring out the best in the hd800? Please please let me know.

The Ultra Stack has the same electronics as are found in that gigantic Max Amp (without the second half for balanced drive). One of the reasons why they don't sell Maxes or Homes any more...

But then maybe he could e mail someone who could send a set to the N. Carolina meet.

Anyone with Dan Halen as their avatar I'd watch out for!

Nope. And I've burned my call for the week. I ask for spare cables too so we can balance the buggers. I'll ask again next week. I ask for delivery schedule. I ask for shipped quanities. I ask every week. I ask and ask.

LOL

It should be much happier with it's veil off.

Now that the HD800 has removed the veil will you guys finally admit the HD650 was veiled?
