The company Wagnus in Japan is selling 2.5mm balanced HD800 cables, for use with AK players.  Is anyone on this thread running their HD800 directly out of their AK240 or AK120ii ?  I would love to hear some impressions.

Same thing here. CES 2015 in a few days. By next Friday, there should be something conclusive on what Sennheiser is doing. It was speculated that a flagship was coming and it was either a stat or dynamic to succeed HD800. If it was a stat, then there would be no reason to discontinue HD800. Only a direct successor to HD800 would result in current version of HD800 being discontinued.

An exciting prospect indeed, I'll be watching CES coverage closely for an announcement from Sennheiser.  An even better HD800...that is a heck of a proposition. I'm assuming they're not going with an electrostatic as a high end replacement...you'd think that could co-exist with the HD800 just fine.  Or, perhaps we're seeing a new dynamic AND a new electrostatic!  Just feeding the rumours

I predict quite a few pair of 800's showing up in the for sale forum.

  Might be a good time to pick up a pair. Regardless of what the future holds, the hd800 will always be a wonderful hp.

I don't really believe in the fact that the HD800 is discontinued. I believe more in a kind of "out of stock" phenomenon.  I'm convinced than Sennheiser would not discontinue a product they sell like hot cakes. Maybe i'm wrong :wink:

Though still shown on the Sennheiser online store, when you try to put the HD800 into your cart, it says "Sorry... Out of Stock!"

"The King is Dead. Long live the King."
