IFA2005 Berlin report by Norbert Lehmann

[norbert:lehmann]

Hello together,

I just got confirmation from Jude that I may present my personal IFA2005 report at this place. You can reach it through the following link:

As you may guess, this is a highly subjective review.

Have fun

Norbert Lehmann

Excellent report, thank you! It's nice to see pics of the refreshed Beyer line - but where is the DT770?

Thanks for clearing up the Orpheus question, I'm glad you asked directly there, and got the below answer-

"Sennheiser also had an Orpheus in the High End cabin with two headphones connected. This was a pleasure for ears and eyes. Guenter Hitz explained that Sennheiser is not allowed to produce these products because they promised the strict limitation to a production number of 300 units worldwide to their original customers. As a consequence the complete Orpheus setups are most wanted (and paid for) on the used market."

Of course those owners of the 300 units might not know about Jan's efforts on the side to get us lucky head-fiers just a few more

Hello Jahn,

yes, shame on me. I thought I had them all but the 770 was missing.

Regards

Norbert

Dear Nicola,

I haven't asked for them but I guess they would have been in the High End cabin if available.

Kind regards

Norbert

The Sennheiser DJ is using the HD25-1! I still love mine! I really like the new Beyer 'phones too, and that K601 looks sharp as well. One day I may hear that elusive Orpheus!

Note that the 300 were complete sets, the units that Jan was able to procure were only the HE90 headphones, not the HE90 and HEV90 set.
