this thread is ripe for an "Epic anti-climax"

No wonder Senn are delaying releasing them, they are obviously scared ****less what you bunch of looney audio addicts are going to think of them.

God forbid if they are anything less than biblical.

Yeah .... sure .... it sucks. But I'm sure Sennheiser has acted on the best information it had at the time as things went on. I'm hearing next estimate is mid-late June. (I added the late.) But you can pick your own wall calendar to throw a dart at. All I know is what I heard and I can wait to get my ears on a pair so that I'm sure each and every one will sound as good or better than that. So..... Get your headphones on and go listen to some music. Maybe send some good thoughts to the elves in Germany to help 'em out.

We have also to take under attention stains on the Sun...

Well hey, they said they have been developing these for SEVEN years. They shouldn't be any less than that.

Sennheiser don't just make headphones.

They are one of the world's best manufacturers of microphones and radiomicrophones, they make aviation headsets, infra-red systems, conference and translation systems, optical microphone, and lots more.

Right, but headphones and microphones account for more than 2/3 of its turnover. The aviation and conference systems do not seem to be core businesses.

People who have great past experience comparing prototypes to final products of sennheiser, do you believe there will be a significant difference in sound quality between the version which is released to the public and the version which Jude so wonderfully reviewed........

I know other prototypes from other companies start off wonderfully and then the final product is "cut corner" shadow of the original product.

I'm worried about this, because I personally just want to have the best possible headphone at any reasonable cost. To spend $1400 and not get the best seems silly to me because they may as well charge $1600 and release the best........not saying I want to pay 1600, I just want to have the headphone without any compromises of quality....and I'm worried that the prototype will be different in someway from the one I will own. And by different I mean worse.
