I have to admit I always look at CNET first when researching products I don't know much about. Maybe it will get people interested in head phones and it will bring them here.

Huh, I didn't think of it before but I'm a bit surprised that Sennheiser did not include an adapter. They did with my HD650 and HD580 Jubilees as I recall. In fact, I rather liked the adapter that came with the HD650.

I find that the review is quite spot on. Nothing wrong with it.

 

[jjinh]

yeh, nothing wrong with the review

This tbh.

Meh - the HD800 is sooo 2009, peeps.

 

[UtzY]

a, sorry, wrong post

I like the price range they list: $1399.95 - $1399.99.

My HD800's should arrive on Monday and I'm very upset that I paid .04 more than I could have.

It was actually a decent review, other than trying them with an iPod. I've had mine since CanJam in May and still have not tried my HD800 on an iPod or iPhone. They really are out of place with anything but the best desktop amp that one has on hand.

We had a good thing going here, Larry. Would you mind changing your avater to a close up photo of an eye looking slightly out of frame?

 

[nor_spoon]

Lol, you noticed too. Just make sure not to focus with the camera when taking the picture.

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

Hmmm...

Steve wrote reviews for high-end publications before the internet was in general use, and at one time sold high end audio gear at one of the most prominent stores in the industry. he's been around the audio scene for many years (i first became acquainted with him ~15 years ago). this guy has heard it all.

Exactly, Steve Guttenberg isn't just an ordinary guy. Cnet approaches Steve for all the high end audio gear reviews, if you're in doubt check his contributions towards HD 650 and RS-2s and etc.

Cnet has always preferred grado over the sennheisers. Guess they are grado fans
