First play "Whip My Hair" by Willow to give you reason to really take off the headphone. When you strive for death by disgust at least end it with something disgusting...P.S. This song is too atrocious to link. Even Right Said Fred is more likeable.
I looked that up and decided that it's more of a reason to join the voluntary human extinction movement instead of just offing yourself...
When a manufacturer throws in things like built-in dsp's and/or amps in headphones, I get the feeling they're running out of ideas to make better headphones so they look to muddy any direct comparison against others by having lots of settings.At this price point, there's some really fierce competition which means it IS possible to improve things. They seem to have either lost touch with the a the HD6XX series are about (decent value, relatively hi-fi headphones, solid purchase, non-life-style, scales pretty good) or they just can't think of what to do to better the range. Unless this sounds $hit-giggle-OMG-amazing it doesn't seem to bode well for the new Senn flagship. Why are these not in their DJ range of headphones?And honestly, how hard can it be to make the cable detachable? AFAIK, only Fostex and Denon seem to be the only ones insisting on non-detachablity these days. Sennheiser already sells replacement cables for 600, 700 and 800 series headphones. So why not pick any of those 3 connector types for this one? What an odd decision.
.At least the HD700 has a removable cable so it's easier to hang yourself with it after you realize how much money you wasted....
