No, not yet. We are still working on it and it should be out soon. We'll give you an update once it's published.

Is this still going on, haven't seen any replies so far. Did I just missed out? The big question I wanted to know if Sennheiser is working on new flagships after HD800S?

A pleasure to speak with you Axel. Will Sennheiser endeavour to engineer wireless in-ear headphones that are also waterproof? I know from a marketing point of view these are all the rage right now, but if they are on the cards, now is the right time! Also, considering that fashion is considered more often in headphone purchases these days, is it possible that Sennheiser could produce a sleek, colourful version of the Momentum 2.0, perhaps with the strength of stainless, and with the colour scheme inclusive of Sony and Beats? Again, this is really from a marketing point of view. Thanks very much for your time!

Tyll Hertsens wrote a glowing review of your HD 202 headphones. Do you have new models coming in the under $100 segment? Your warranty is impressive and nearly unique in the headphone marketplace. Suggest you include a replaceable cord option in this price range, as Monoprice does.

What are your thoughts on the "Sennheiser veil" that has been the object of many an argument on the internet? Is it a desired effect? Is it an artifact of tuning out something worse? Or is it, as many have claimed, not really there?

HI . In 2003 I bought the Sennheiser HD 650 when it came out. I was a big fan of Sennheiser. To be honest I simply "hate" my purchase and regret it. Veil sound awful bass even with a proper headphone amplifier. Also the paint on the headband cracked. I discover Grado at that time SR 325is and love the clarity detail fast bass that was not present in my HD 650. But I continue by the years to read reviews about the HD 650 and absolutely don't understand those positive reviews. So one day (last summer) I stop at a dealer place to try again the Sennheiser HD 650 and I immediately notice that it was much lighter. I borrow it for a weekend and as I discover it has nothing in common with my 2003 version. Bass was faster and you know what ??? no more veil sound. Detail clarity appears also. So it seems clearly that this headphone was improved. My understanding is the veil problem is part of the first years of production. So did you saw the criticism about the veil problem ??? and react by correcting those flaws. By now I used my 2003 for video and my recent purchase for music. The color of the drivers on my 2003 are white the new version is grey (kind of stainless steel color). The actual version is a wonderful headphone. I can live with this one alone. Like to hear your explanation. The veil story of the HD 650 need to be clarified now by Sennheiser.

In theory, part of the reason enthusiast products are important and necessary is to fund development of technology that will inevitably trickle down to less costly consumer products making them better than their predecessors where. There it can and probably does make the manufacturer more money over the long run.
Can you give any examples from your experience of this happening? Are there any specific design points from the legendary HD 580/600/650 series that have found their way into other Sennheiser designs during the decade or two of their lifetime you can speak to?

How to pair Shanling player with Anker Soundcore IEMs?
I Can't figure out how to pair my Shanling Q1 audio player with my Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro wireless IEMs. Can anybody help?
(I actually didn't even know the Shanling had bluetooth - I don't think it said so in the description on DROP - until this morning when I went to the Shanling site to download the USB driver).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes, I'm talking to you, you big black, nondescript, cylindrical-looking bundle of coils and magnets! I have to say, for a guy who looks like a can of Darth Vader brand coffee, you sound damn good! Actually BOTH of you sound damn good ;- )
Yup, I just added a pair of Echo Studios to my bedroom (one on each nightstand). Each Studio contains a five-speaker assortment, including a down-firing 5.3" woofer. And buddy, they WOOF!
What made me finally decide to go this route was laziness; yes I could have found good Bluetooth speakers for less, and maybe even good WIFI speakers, but I confess to having developed a fairly serious relationship with Alexa--we have long talks each morning discussing the weather and the news, etc. And she always plays what I tell her too.
Second reason is my on again/off again relationship relation with Amazon Music. With the advent of Amazon Music HD, we're back on again. One of the benefits of combining Amazon Music HD with the Studio is the...

Alright Drop, this is getting old.
I've had 4 packages ship for orders in the past year. Two of which have been outright lost by FedEx. Drop's customer support has then made it seem like they were doing me some kind of favor by replacing the lost items and not just taking my money without me actually receiving anything. Now one of my packages, shipped to the same address as the others (which hasn't changed), has a FedEx delivery exception because the "address or apartment/suite number is wrong." And as always, FedEx won't talk to me about it at all, only Drop.
As I've done a number of times now I've fired off a Drop support request into the void and now I'll wait to see what response they'll give me. Hopefully they'll take care of this as they have in the past, but it's aggravating that I end up having to contact their support team with essentially every order I make. Especially given that they refuse to provide a phone number (though I can understand why if other people have as many issues as I've had).

Douk Audio?
Has anyone had any experience with Douk Audio preamp/headphone amps? I have a variety of headphones that I use, from multi-driver IEM to closed and open back dynamic, including a few sets from Drop. But I recently picked up a pair of planar magnetic from Andover Audio and while they play reasonably well even with just my phone's audio output, I'd like to get a decent entry level amp for some extra oomph.
I found a preamp/headphone amp from Douk Audio that seems to fit generally what I'm looking for, their P1; but I wasn't familiar with the brand and wanted to get some feedback if anyone had any experience with this brand or model.

A Brief History of My Life So-Far...
ABOUT ME
I am a retired electrical/mechanical engineer. US Coast Guard graduate. Sailed the high seas as Merchant Marine for 13 years. Briefly worked with NASA for 5.5 years in Florida. I left to start my own Hi-Tech Computer company. My company did anything and everything with computers and computer systems. We were especially known for our Graphics and Gaming computers we built. We built to order Bespoke systems. We were very proud of our workmanship. My company was in operation for almost 27 years. I still build for myself and my family members. I am 74 years old now.
Audio Visual has been my lifelong hobby. I love reading Hard science fiction; an example would be the Author Brandon Q. Morris. I like listening to books also.
I play few games however, I am addicted to Star Citizen. I do try other games like Alien Isolation, Elite Dangerous, and EVE Online.
