The sad part is that they (sennheiser) have got me over a damn barrel!! There's really not much else out there... hopefully in a couple of years there will be more competition at this price point!! More choices!!

You don't consider the Grado PS1000 or Ultrasone ED8 to be competition?

I wish!
My theory on ugliness of HD800
Engineer1: I'm sad that many of our customers don't really care about audio quality. They just want something pretty and in style.
Engineer2: I've got an idea. Let's make the best sounding can ever, but let's also make it the ugliest, dorkiest looking can ever. Then we'll know that only those that truly care about good sound buy our cans!
Engineer1: Let's dew it!

They've only moved the time frame by a month. And what marketing? Sennheiser has only done the two shows, put them up on the website, and made a promotional pamphlet. Nobody has done any reviews and Jude's the closest thing we've got to a preview. You guys are just feeding on each other. Sennheiser hasn't said much on the product, probably because there isn't much to say at all. Out of the hundreds of posts made here there are maybe only half a dozen people who have heard it and outside of Willet's posts I don't think there is anybody that can speak on Sennheiser's behalf.
Good that I was told something along the lines of march-may for Germany from the beginning.
I just hope it won't be even later now, due to these issues.

There's has always been a debate between electronic reproduction and natural sound. The Sennheiser HD-800 is the headphone that has been specifically engineered in replicating the basic acoustic conditions of natural hearing. ... The HD-800 is the ultimate headphone to deliver nature.'...
similar talk was from AKG, when they promoted K400 and K500.

LOL it's always fun reading the marketing or advertising of speaker and headphone companies. They all essentially say the same stuff "disappears and leaves the music" (few actually achieve that) or "we strive to deliver natural sound" or just as it sounded when I heard it "live in the studio".... what high end audio company doesn't go for that?
