Theft of Orpheus at IFA 2015 - Good Riddance!
« on: September 02, 2015, 10:32:04 AM »
As Posted on HF:

"Dear Head-Fiers,
Yesterday, our swap trailer at IFA 2015 in Berlin was broken into and among the things that were stolen was a set of the Orpheus. We are still accounting for what was taken and will post the serial numbers as soon as possible.
We ask that all Head-Fiers to let us know if they have been offered such a high-end product by anyone. 
 We'll post updates as more information becomes available and we thank you for whatever help you can offer.
The Sennheiser Team"


Good Riddance I dare say. Shame on Sennheiser for having to show off that old pile of crap  poo over and over again.
And it ain't as Sennheiser claims "Ze best headphone in ze world". Probably never was!
Time to move on and develop something new as this over-priced bulky boring dusty old museum-piece-thingy hasn't been cutting edge for a long time.
They should really put it were it belongs! Into a museum on a marble pedestal!! Oh hang on -  they have done that already ...  [thanks Thad]
It even looks like it has been designed last century by a bunch of german "Professors" who take themselves and their creation too seriously.  LOL

 :wheel:

That's not to say that I condone theft even in case you need an anchor for your boat! - so pyrates stop taking away my brownie points! Dammit! LOL


Feeling sarcastic today!

Didn't they go one better, and put it in a marble case?

Thad, I think that's the amp. Maybe they will ditch the marble and use Corian but that's seriously OT.

Wow, regardless of the high price for the Orpheus, that is some seriously bad karma. I dislike companies, but wouldn't wish this on any of them. Hope the unit gets recovered...

Regardless of what one may think of Sennheiser or the Orpheus, theft ain't cool man.  I hope they recover it.

What! You mean the new headphones aren't marble too?   p:0

I'm off to the What happened to Sennheiser thead.


But sure, Chris is right: theft is not cool. Good security is cool: I wonder why they didn't take better care of it? But hey, I haven't read the story

Many things in this world are crap when you think about it. Thing is sometimes things are craptastic and they transcend crappy and people consider them the unobtanium of crap, the crap of all crap that highlights how crap everything else once was. The monuments of craptasticness are like the old Eiffel Tower versus the current sky scrapers.

Sometimes you have to appreciate old crap to understand the freshness of new crap. Sometimes new crap is craptastic or a crapocalyptic. I dare to say that your crap lacks form and craptasticness. Indeed I find your post crapocalyptic.

You have much to learn about crap.

I am one of those who felt the Orpheus was certainly overhyped and overpriced by todays market rates, but it was easily in the top 10 headphones ever made and I really appreciated Axel Grell and Sennheiser bringing it to CES and other functions. Many people got to hear it that never would have otherwise. If this event means Sennheiser no longer brings the Orpheus or it's new phone to such events, it'll be a real unfortunate incident for the entire audio community.

Were any other trailers broken into, or was Sennheiser specifically targeted?

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin
