I would ask whether they tested, and with what methods, the HD800 for its soundstages Accuracy. Certainly they made it wide, but are sounds being psychologically perceived where they should be if it was in the real world, or are their location being distorted?
Not a negative review, just stating that I am searching for the ideal soundstage and determined some basic methodology for testing its accuracy and found issues with their lower tier imaging oriented headphones. I would like to know whether the HD800 addresses that.

Dear Axel, I love listening to classical music and I feel like most modern headphones are designed for contemporary music with focus on specific bass, mids and transients. Is this true? What is Sennheiser’s take on it? I have HD6XX and I love how classical music sounds with them. I use Focusrite Scarlett Solo on 192kHz/24bt/1024sr in a chain with Creative X3 (DAC famous for it signal processor).

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.

I was having a wonderful time with these. They are such fun to listen to. However a few weeks ago I began hearing distortion from left channel. Now the left channel is completely gone. No sound. I...

Just got my first cans from Drop. Meant to have a change on my Cloud II, and this seems an accurate alternative. Cheers!

The IEM trek continues.
Nothing fancy here but I have purchased a few more under $100 pairs. After the purchase of the Moondrop Aria I have since purchased the TIN T2, TIN T3 Plus, BLON BL03 and the final E3000. As a newbie to IEM's I have found some to be more comfortable than others, as is the case with different tips. I have really been impressed by the amount of sound that these little things can generate, and probably even more given how inexpensive these are. Sure, I know that they get to being much more costly. I'm not sure I wish to venture too far down the rabbit hole on IEM's. I like them for portability. And the cheaper ones won't hurt so much if they break or get lost. How much better does it get at the $300 price point? $500? $1000? I'd rather dump $500 or a grand on a pair of over ear headphones, personally.

Wondering about past designs? Driver technologies? What got him interested in audio in the first place? Tell us what you want to know!
[UPDATE] Interview is up here https://www.massdrop.com/talk/989/community-interview-axel-grell! Sorry for the delay and we want to give a special thanks to Axel for taking the time during the holidays to answer questions from the community.
What an incredible response from the community! We are currently compiling all questions received prior to last week’s deadline.
