I use banana hangers.

Yeah, these phones are gonna suck.

Yah I think we should just get everyone to cancel thier pre-orders and go back to HD650's,Denons, and AKG's ( Then we can sneak in and get some of the first batch ourselves)

Why would you play badly recorded hip hop on these state of the art headphones? It doesn't make sense.

I don't like hip hop but what does this have to do with bad recordings?

Hip hop? Recorded? Sense? None of these things fit.

You can't imagine the purity of P. Diddy's voice until you hear it through the HD800.

and I believe the preferred nomenclature is "Hippity Hop"

Anyhow back on topic, I was talking to the Australian distributor who mentioned that the HD 800s take "something like 40 hours" to hand make.

Still looking forwards to Jude's final review.

40 hours eh? Did you ask him what was in his pipe? I assume he was smoking a pipe while he said this. Either that or he's simply lying to his customers in which case i wouldnt go there again.

It takes 45 minutes to assemble one from scratch to finish.
