My thoughts exactly. I wonder why they started special editions with this year instead of last year (the dragon)?

Maybe because drawing a dragon would be much harder. The Asian dragon is quite different from the European counterpart and much more intricately portrayed at that, but a snake looks pretty much the same everywhere.

I would much prefer it to be Tiger or Dragon since it's "gold" in color. But the snake look nice! Will see how the sells goes. 88 x $600= 52 800. All the nice "8" xD lol. Well done Sennheiser!

Cuz it's Chinese snake year guys

Me no like.

Wow that looks awesome!

88 pieces seems very low, even for a collectible.. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up selling for more than $600.

Seems a lot extra to pay for a pair of HD-25s with a bit of gold paint and a silver snake...

I saw this and I can already hear my wallet screaming...

You're paying to be one of the only 88 people that get one...

Wow, looks great.

i feel the design seems to be a little bit overdone, and if the snake was engraved instead of painted on it would be classy, since being painted on can in some cases give a 'cheap feel' to a subtle product. (especially if the painting looks rather simple) 
the silver snake metalwork on the wire looks nice, but somehow feels a little out of place...

Agreed. I don't know if anyone else mentioned this yet, but the number 8 is considered a lucky number in Chinese. 8 is probably too few to make, 888 is probably too many, so I guess they just settled for somewhere in between.

True. I do like how a German company is deciding to commemorate Chinese new years though.
