its gonna take me 3-4 months to save up for them so it doesnt bother me much about the release date

Won't be purchasing until the headphones are available at a local retail store with a good return policy such as Best Buy. I might not have these in my possession for a long time.

I'm VERY interested in comments on direct comparison with HD800 from owners of both.

I have the original and soon to have the revision. I'll be happy to oblige you with comparisons.

Well, looks like my HD800S headphones have left Germany (or soon will) for Canada. Can't wait...I know expecting them before Christmas is a stretch...but before New Years is a definite possibility!

Thanks again to Jan Meier from Meier Audio...seriously guys, dealing with Jan is a pleasure (he had them shipped out literally within an hour of receiving payment)! He's been around Head-Fi for a long time and is definitely one of the good guys! 

Looking forward to your impressions.

Damn, they're about 2k CAD right now (at Meier Audio)... I really want em but IDK if that's worth it right now, since the HD800 will be on sale soon. Hmm.

Definitely gonna try these in the store with the accompanying amp before purchasing. The HD800 was just a bit too bright for me. Fingers crossed

?.. since the HD800 will be on sale soon.

Don't think so. But you may find some more used units as current owners might switch. I still don't see this as an upgrade though: if you like the original sound signature you might even like the S less.

Got mine but can start listening tomorrow evening earliest, however plenty around Christmas Time

 

[wink]

Do the serial numbers start from scratch, or do they continue on from the HD800..? 
 
Just looked at the unboxing video, and the serial numbers start again.
 
The USB has the frequency graph on it.

Amazon.ca usually has boxing day sales for headphones. I'll see.
