Well, maybe they're building upwards from there, starting in the region of the HD6XX series. Those used to be flagships too once (except Orpheus).  walk the plank2

They seem to be targeting the portable market with the inline mic, so I'm guessing it's on par with the HD600/650. The marketing doesn't seem to specify that this is a HD800 compliment.

That said, it seems like most closed headphones live in about this space, pretty good, but not endgame.
