Why would they actually release a HD700? They are making way more money on the px100s, px200, pmx150s, etc. There is no actual need to release another Hi-Fi headphone. They can go on for years without having a new flagship.

It's always fun to have some rumours though.

Why wouldn't they? The HD580 series has been a big money maker for them, and it seems like it's pretty regular, like clockwork, that they come out with an upgrade every 4 years. So iI think it's very likely that a new flagship will be coming out....whether it's worth it to keep the rumor mills up though

I just won't start anxiously anticipating the next headphone untill I see official pictures of it. Until then, I'll just be content listening to my HD650s

Why does Toyota have to release the Solara, they probably make more money on the Corollas. Why does BMW bother with the 6 series, when the 3 series probably offers them more sales volume...

What is all that stuff in your sig?

Never sell futures...it cannibalizes near term sales.
Companies are always concerned that people will hold out for the next release.

lol.. spelling errors and words that people tend to mix up.... Grammar Nazi

( " != " stands for not equal to )

Although long time members and posters on here usually don't make as much errors as posters on other 'boreds'.

I see. I used to be an editor. I saw a bunch of words and got curious.

Ah I see

I hope no one takes offense to it, I just got a cackle out of it when I saw it in a sig elsewhere, and thought I'd incorporate it in mine

That and I don't have much gear to post on there anyways

I think the more recent "Grado announces the new flagship" trumps the "top range product" written before the GS-1000 was out. - since we are mincing words.

There will be a new flagship from Senn...

We'll just have to wait until early 2008 to see, won't we?

This could be one of the points. Additionally just like LeChuck said, companies in competition markets should be very careful of sending out message to public.

2008, hmm... I do believe that 2008 is my high school graduation year! Guess what I'll be asking for a graduation present!

Of course there is no HD700. They haven't even got to the HD680 yet. Did you all overlook that fact?

I think you should remove his e-mail address ASAP from the original post. It would suck if he suddenlt started getting spammed up the ying yang thanks to Head-Fi.


As someone with master's degree and who works in marketing, you would absolutely deny the existence of the product until you are ready. You only succeed in causing people to delay purchases of current product.

I was told long before Senn makes its profit a big portion from low-fi market, like portability earphones. We need to look deep into its corporate strategy before making the proper argument here. BMW may still be making lots of profit from 6 series, who knows.
