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?

No need for best treble...
So, my hearing has gone down hill somewhat in that past 10 years. I do not hear past 10-11khz. So now I'm thinking... buy headphones that are the best at midrange, bass, and all other things that great but not so much in the mid-higher treble area. Thoughts and ideas?

Shipping Question from fellow Canadians.
Hi all,
So, I'm just wondering if there are any Canadians out there with experience ordering from Drop and related shipping charges, import fees/duties (because I'm sure you've been hit hard with them), delivery times, etc. I was looking to grab a pair of headphones between the $400-$500 US price point, but I'm extremely hesitant given my past experience with ordering anything from the US and how a lot of the big couriers slap on huge Brokerage fees on top of everything else.
What was it like for you guys? Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance.

Wondering about past designs? Driver technologies? What got him interested in audio in the first place? Tell us what you want to know!
