Hey mattia,
 
You've probably already seen them, but both bowei006 and I have recently put up reviews for the HD 215.  In addition to our impressions, you'll find the impressions of other members as well.
 
bowei006's review >>> http://www.head-fi.org/t/621257/sennheiser-hd-215-review
my review >>> http://www.head-fi.org/t/622696/review-the-sennheiser-hd-215-the-hd-205s-bigger-brother
 
Out of curiosity, which HD 215 characteristics do you like the most?  I think that for general listening the HD 428 is somewhat similar, and is also worth looking at.

I found this thread after Warren told me to google Sennheiser HD 215 haha.
 
The HD 215 are not on market yet so you can't buy them. They were introduced in 2005 but taken off. They will from what I have heard, be re introduced back into the market at $80 approx.

Lol, I was curious to see what "professional" reviewers had to say about the HD 215.  Quick Google search showed that (apparently) we ARE the professional reviewers for this unit.

Actually, that happens to me pretty frequently.  I'll be looking for something here on Head-Fi but the search function is less than stellar.  So I go and Google it.  And Google promptly refers me back to Head-Fi (albeit usually with better search results).
 
BTW, I've been meaning to ask, where did you find out that they're gonna be $80?  I was looking at Sennheisers's site, and the only info the have is that it's 99 Euros (which is about $125).  Just curious.

Haha yeah. I wanted to see what others had to say but that's about it. You and me are the only full reviews on the net it seems. Trusted reviews, digital trends, what hifi....don't make me laugh. Those sites are really really faceticious.
 
I asked Sennheiser Eric and he said around $80

Hello Delivery man! Thanks for the lending samples!
 
Are you guys planning on introducing the HD 215 back into the U.S market?
 
If so, what MSRP will this be set at? I wish to get a good idea which range of headphones the HD 215 will be competing against.

Hello- Indeed we will be putting the 215 back into the market. It will likely be sub $80, but it does not have a lot of direct competitors from a sound standpoint, as we are actively targeting natural sound.

Oh okay, I gotcha.  I saw you mention that in a couple places and I couldn't figure out where you got the info, lol.

The isolation is... okay.  It's not super because it was still meant as a pair of "home" listening headphones.  But being closed-back headphones, the HD 428s still have reasonably decent isolation.  The HD 215 easily beats it in that department.
