Looks like a Beyer, I don't like it at all.
 

Agreed. Not a huge fan of it either. I think it's the metal strip that's bugging me the most the more I look at it. And please don't remove the velour from my HD650's. They had a lot of clamping force, but my velour made up for that tiny issue!

Man this thread is so busy I can't keep up.  Every time I miss a day there are about 50-70 posts!

Didn't see that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you! Gosh, bahaha. I was waiting for someone to point that out. I guess you guys fell for the trick

 
On a serious note though they are coming out early January and they will either be called the HD700's or the HD750's. They may actually release two headphones??? Never know, and they will be released for $700-900. This is not fake information, this is all factual.

From where if I may ask?
 
And yeah, being a Sennheiser fan in anticipation of a new headphone, I make sure to do some CSI action on everything I read.

Another sunny day in SF, 11C/51F. It's warming up my very very old tube collection and the WA6.
One tube says Mullard--made in Holland. I thought Mullards were made in England.

Nice collection you have there. Kinda amazing, not that it matters, and things do cost money, and i dont know tubes well enough to judge, but that tube collection has to be worth what, $800?

I don't know how much they are worth but I didn't pay for them. All of those tubes in that frame were freebies. Whenever I buy some NOS tubes from this ebay seller, he includes a few used vintage tubes for free along with my purchase. He's given me about 30 tubes. I don't think they can be used in any current amps that I know of. They certainly look great. And I believe they still work.

It was on the Internet.  It was in writing.  It has got to be true.

I could care less how headphones look.  I barely look at my LCD-2's.  I pick them up put them on and when I take them off I put them aside. They could look like anything and I wouldn't care.   I more interested in how the 700's will sound and how much they cost. 

 

[Wapiti]

Agreed, but a bit of equipment that feels nice or looks good is still pleasing.  It counts, but not nearly as much as function.

I think the LCD-2's look awesome. Trust me sound comes first. But they can't look like taped together pieces of styrofoam.

That's funny because when my LCD-s arrived that exactly how I thought they were put together.

Here is the article, citing an unnamed source at Sennheiser re the HD700 via their "rumor mill exclusive" 

 
http://www.bestheadphonesguide.com/2011/10/rumor-mill-exclusive-sennheiser-hd700-750/
 
Seems highly suspect to me. First time I've ever been to bestheadphonesguide.com, who are these guys and why should we believe them?
 
Is it even confirmed that the HD600 is discontinued?
