I'm beginning to think that this whole HD800 thing is yet another false rumor. We've had these threads before. Some thought it would be HD700, HD750, or whatever. Just another case of the Senn fan boys getting all excited about nothing.

That would be a particularly cruel joke!

late april is the current ship date, i believe. nothing to do until then or until it is pushed back even more.

Is there a chance that the push back is because they are trying to produce more units to keep with the demand before launch? I doubt it because they would want to get the product to their customers as soon as possible but there has to be a reason why they are delaying the launch.

This would be the greatest April Fool's joke in the hiistory of mankind.

I think it's in Sennheiser's best interest to meet initial demands. Otherwise, there will be a larger gray market where Sennheiser will lose potential customers.

Let me see, over 4100 posts about a headphone that can't even be purchased yet. Has anything like this ever happened in the history of Head-Fi?

Only once before, when Bose announced the QuietComfort 3, but we eventually got over it.

Not as far as going 4000 posts.

The longer it takes the better, every day it is just another day i can be satisfied with my current set up and have an extra $1400. in my account that i have set away for these things.....actually if it were an April fools joke it would almost be a relief after all this time.
But i know they will eventually be released, i will be relieved of my funds and will be amazed at the step up from my hd650s which by the way don't have a veil if used with a Zana Deux. Hopefully the 800s won't be to intense or aggressive with a set up that removes veil.

That's exactly what I'm hoping too!
After the latest updates I did on my B52 (power cords, ECC802S and Tung Sol 5687 tubes), my HD650 got an amount of detail and clarity which I didn't believe it would have achieved. But I really hope this won't bring harshness in the (supposedly) brighter HD800. Some tuberolling should take care of it should that happen, but given how rare and expensive these tubes were, I wouldn't like to change them.

Hope....it's a wondeful thing.

It isn't that long to know the answer.
