Did you even read Jude's interview with the Sennheiser's? They are not "quitting" the consumer electronics business; they are looking for an investment partner to expand.
Not my words , Zeos mentions them quitting.

This. This is how I got literally right now looking at over $500 in discounts direct from manufacturers easily posting crappy review on this forum nobody asked for or wanted and having people literally vote on the items I bought so no cherrypicking deals. crap I recently called a company to ask them to give me 50% off an item since the second hand price is so low.I'm not into horse trading that I will buy stuff and sell stuff.
Give me a good price and call it a day. I can get the HD800S for under USD1300 all day long with local warranty, balanced cable and zero wait with a phone call or an email to most local sellers. I picked both the Sony Z1Rs locally for a solid $600 combined discount from retail price recently with just a conversation. Happy to oblige if you are in the market for the same and you will see the discount on the invoice. its not my fault you lack negotiation and interpersonal skills.
I already own the HD800/HD820 from brand new so why would I buy used? Are you thick or something?
More than half the time of all Z's youtube reviews are spent mostly talking about crap instead of reviewing the headphones itself. Of all reviewers out there he is the biggest pinch of salt i've ever seen.

Reminds me of an old job I had, the guy working at the front desk was like most young kids and wouldn't make a phonecall to save his life he would text clients if they gave him an option I was in the back tinkering with computers all day and the boss would ask me to call the internet company, vendors, and do pricing on all the PC's he bought because I would just pick up the damn phone and start throwing verbal punches left and right like it was second nature...
Hell I have called chief officers/presidents/vice presidents of multiple (and very very large)companies I am 100% you have heard of and put them right on the spot if need be, you will be surprised how quickly crap moves thru the goose when you do something as simple as call a chief officer and leave a message on their personal cellphone explaining why an employee is misbehaving and why it's about to be their problem if it doesn't stop ASAP.

...and you would still be paying more than the MSRP for the HD8XX. What is your point?I'm not into horse trading that I will buy stuff and sell stuff.

I actually like that about Zeos because he focuses on important things that a lot of other reviewers ignore.
For example, when reviewing a Grado, he talked about how the cups swivel 360 degrees which over time, results in the wire being twisted, and due to the stiffness of the wire, these twists cause the wire to bend and press against your cheek, which is annoying.
Every single Grado owner can relate to that, and yet virtually no other reviewers talk about it.
Zeos talks about the sound of course, but he doesn’t sound like a wine connoisseur when he does. It’s more in generalized terms regarding what he likes and what he doesn’t like. Instead of doing the wine connoisseur thing, he talks about small quality of life things like that wire thing, and I find that to be incredibly useful in a headphone review.

Critics of pricing seems to be so fixated on this lacking cable, yet none of them seems to think that $300 for a cable in itself is outrageous.
Could be because it is a pre-production unit and not the same as the final product and because it is being sent to several reviewers who might give it dings and make the product seem less appealing.Caveat: I own the HD800S.
1. I find it strange to not allow showcasing how the prototype looks.. if It’s already production level sound, isn’t it in a 800S frame? Can’t figure out why..
U usually just add a disclaimer that this is a pre-production product.. and reviewers are professional enough not to pick at the looks and concentrate on sound… It’s just strange frankly.. which is why I think Josh went into so much explanation at the beginning of his video.. it’s not normal..Could be because it is a pre-production unit and not the same as the final product and because it is being sent to several reviewers who might give it dings and make the product seem less appealing.
It is called a media embargo and they are normal. See Nvidia their 3000 series & AMD Ryzen releases for examples.U usually just add a disclaimer that this is a pre-production product.. and reviewers are professional enough not to pick at the looks and concentrate on sound… It’s just strange frankly.. which is why I think Josh went into so much explanation at the beginning of his video.. it’s not normal..
