A lot of people assume because the driver capsule looks the same it’s basically the same driver. I’ve come across enough driver systems that are identical in appearance that don’t sound the same to know it’s a fallacy to make such an assumption.

Totally understood and that's why I'm here to set the record straight

I think people are expecting the headphones drivers to look obviously different. But optimizations to the magnetic system, airflow. etc. can make dramatic improvements. While I don’t have engineering expertise, I’m aware the non-obvious changes (to the layman) can make some of the biggest differences.

Gorgeous! Super psyched to try these out in NYC.

They took down the original pre-order on the Canadian Amazon website and reposted at a price similar to the $600 USD retail.

I can't find them for pre order anywhere in the EU, neither on Amazon nor Thomann in Germany, Why?

They are on the official Sennheiser website, but not at the top for some reason.

I love my HD660s and I can't wait to hear these!

I'm just glad I don't have to pay $100 for new earpads in 3 years. More like $50
and $10 for some 3rd party headband.

Not the same steep discount but try ordering direct from Sennheiser, more often than not if you leave something in your cart they'll send a friendly email reminder with a 10% off code. wink,wink say no more. : )

And with all user replaceable parts the HD600 series are a phone for life. : )

Don't blame you. I like my headphones to have product support in terms of parts, etc. It's why I like companies such as Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, etc. as they support their products for a long time and parts are readily accessible and often aren't too expensive.

Your earpads last you 3 years? Mine last like, 6 months. =(

I've had exceptional experience with the Grado boys as well...

Are you enjoying your headphones after a good barbecue or a visit to the Hamam?
