These look like Sony headphones to me.

Stereophile: CES 2009 Show Report Hey jp#, did you happen to run into Doc B and Paul, I told Paul on Thursday night to get over there and listen to the 800's right after I read the beginning of this thread. Great pictures Al. And thanks for the first world wide report Jude. My AD2000's have been hiding ever since I laid eyes on the pictures!

Thanks for the props and for that link, Steve, I had not seen it yet. Jason is not a real headphone enthusiast so it is good to get a more "objective" viewpoint.

TTVJ.com is indeed an authorized dealer of the HD800 and will receive their first shipment of 24 pairs in late February or early March like HeadRoom. Todd said he has sold a little less than half of the first run, so call him and order a pair. He doesn't charge you until he is shipping the cans. Once he hits 20 or so orders, he will order another chunk.

Yeah, lets hope they end up closer to NOK 9000 (€1000) than NOK 14000 (€1500).
Would like to see the final local price before pre-ordering abroad. Cause in general Sennheiser have decent prices here.

The HD800 doesn't reach nowhere near it's capacity unless you remove the damping and replace that crappy cable. First?

Just quoting. An ass. A bit of both. Welcome to the future, grawk.

Don't forget to post pictures and impressions of your pair, when the mod is done..

Sorry for the slight spammyness here, but I don't want incorrect info out there. We have ordered 65 on the first shipment and 35 on a second (one month later) shipmen---that we have the option of moving forward if volume requires. So we have first dibs on the first 100 cans. Currently about 35 are spoken for.

Sorry Tyll, when I spoke with Ben on Friday, he did say there was a good possibility you would get more, but at that time you had at least thirty for sure. Anyways, I'm just glad I'm getting one of them. I have no doubt the other 65 you have will go quickly.

Is it the end of February yet?

 

[Voltron]

That doesn't seem like Spam to me, Tyll. As a few of us have said before, I really believe that our members should be ordering from you and Todd and Drew at Moon Audio rather than ordering from Amazon, in my humble opinion.

That is good to know, as it means I am one of those 22 who ordered in the first 24 hours (about 12mn Thursday night, shortly after I read about them).

Thanks Voltron! I just placed an order with TTVJ. The sales lady, Brynn, promised my that I will get the first batch! YAHOOOOOO....

Now I need to cancel my Amazon order.

Thanks for the updates. It's very helpful, not spam at all when correcting info. I can't hardly wait to try it out. And, it's very possible it will sound good enough single ended with my maxed WA6 with PDPSU and Sophia rectifier than I wont need to balance it for my Single Power. Still, a 4-pin XLR might be in the cards for me later, or just a second cable balanced already.
