Interesting indeed. So Sennheiser needs input from Drop to update the sound signature of their flagship headphones now? Not that I am not a fan of Senn and Drop.
Who said Senn needed input from them? They specifically said it was a collab with Drop, a product specifically for suiting Drop and their audience. It's not them asking Drop for tuning advice and then releasing it as their product. A bit harsh.
Other companies do collab's, like Focal with Bentley and Beyer with A&K.
You have to order with no reviews and once the order is placed you can’t cancel..wow that’s a risk
I’m clearly out of touch with the “influencers” because I thought it was a great deal.
I preordered then quickly changed my mind. There is a cancellation button so I was able to cancel my orderYou have to order with no reviews and once the order is placed you can’t cancel..wow that’s a risk

Yes it is a bit harsh but what we need from Senn is a true successor to the HD800s and not another variations or side step.

This is completely wrong. Not only can you cancel at any time, you have 30 days to return them if you don’t like them.You have to order with no reviews and once the order is placed you can’t cancel..wow that’s a risk
Considering the competition out these days, I think this would be a hard sell at that price.

I can't tell if it's better, but the cost is $1100 AND you get $200 back to spend in their store, so it's like they cost $900.
Anyone going to buy?

I placed a pre-order. The cancellation policy, plus refund after using headphones for first 30 days makes it an easy call for me.Anyone going to buy?
I currently have and love the 800S. So I would end up selling the 800S if I prefer the 8xx, or I would return the 8xx if I prefer the 800S.
win win
@Sennheiser if you are interested in sending me a review sample I would entertain the idea

I get it. I have the 820 and IE 800 S, and am a big Senn fan as well. Just best to ignore this announcement, it's just businesses being businesses (Drop and Senn).
I was hopeful they had a successor in the works, but with the exit of Axel Grell and recent announcement that their consumer headphone branch is up in the air, I'm fearing this might be it
