Hello, I just saw that Sennheiser unveiled the new HD700s at CES, suppose to fill the gap between the 650s and 800s. They look like a toned down version of the 800s, better looking IMHO. MSRP $999, 150 ohms impedance. I wonder if the cable connectors will be the same? Anyone else has any info or has heard them please let us know.
Cheers,
Shawn P.

Thanks for the links gents! Well Jude seems pretty impressed.. Being the card carrying Sennheiser fanboy that I am I guess I'll have to find someone in town that will be carrying them and give 'em a good listen.
Cheers,

Seems like from what I've been reading they need some tubes to warm them up a little......I was hoping they would have a more 600/650 sound than 800.

Personally, I found the 650s a little dark when I got em. I bought a cable from Zynsonix, thanks to our fellow Bottlehead HF9, replaced the foam over the drivers with some material from ladies nylons, and of course tubes. Love the way they sound now.
Cheers,

I replaced my foam on my HDs with grill cloth. Opened them up just enough. Perfect match with the Crack and Moon-Audio cable.u |

Ha, maybe a little too bright, but Senn. sales would increase exponentially. Would have to buy some stock!
