A Sennheiser rep told me that meier audio sell ex demoed headphones and that the prices on there site are low because they were heavily used in stores and then re-sold. I presume this is ********. Does anyone have any info on this?

I'm sure any distributor would state that they were 'ex demo' if they were. It wouldn't be worth the risk otherwise.

Does Jan even have a retail floor?? I seriously doubt he would sell demo units without notifying people. In fact-I know Senn got on him about a year or less ago for selling the HD800 cheap, and had to raise his prices at that time. None of the 2 (3?) I bought from him had any indication that they were anything other than N.I.B.

I presume you are right and that he only sells new ones. I think the Sennheiser rep was talking bull-crap. I am currently trying to find his name. When i do i will make a compliant.

The sliders on my hd800's headband seem to have loosened up a bit over time, and I was curious if anyone has experienced this or knows of a way to tighten them/increase whatever resistance is supposed to prevent inadvertent sliding?  The cups don't ever slide when I'm wearing them, but when I pick them up by the headband, one cup or the other sometimes slides a notch.  Annoying.

  Maybe shoot Jan an email too-I'm sure he can probably clarify this-at least I'm sure he's want to set the record straight either way-especially in regards to the rep's comments...

I sent an email earlier, waiting on reply.
