i almost considered spending £800 for the grado gs 1000's after listening to them, before my wallet crept up behind me, knocked me out and dragged me home.
i had to fight my wallet to the death before it let me buy a pair of grado sr325i's/

Mmmm they are expensive but we can all dream. I have a pair of HD650's and if they are better than them they must be epic

Sounds like Sennheiser hospitality hit gold there.

I know what you mean ilovethemonkeyhead. The GS1000's are utterly astonishing. I'll be very interested to compare them to these new Sennheisers, if I ever get the chance.
What do you think of the sr325i's? I've been contemplating getting a pair. I really want the huge over-ear cups of the GS1000 though - they're just so comfortable.

lifethroughalens - Many audiophiles would laugh at the idea of spending £2,500 on a few lumps of glass in a metal tube - "it's just a lens!" Although I'll hold judgement until I can persuade Sennheiser to loan me a pair to try out.
And they're a convenient £1 under my overdraft limit, hmmmm...

Just what I've been looking for to get the best out of my 128kpbs mp3s. :)

Difference being, I'm still using (and making a living from) some lenses made in the 1920's USSR, today...and there is still nothing that can out-do them in terms of quality and build. And (being a Canon user) most of my 'L' series lenses will last an eternity in terms of optical quality and build and i'm not considered a 'photo-phile' (made that word up)for buying them.
Can't say that about any headphones. Although I get the drift of your comparison, I don't think they are comparable. I still can't believe someone would spend £1000 on a set of headphones, audiophile or not.
I'll have to try and get to listen to some, problem is - what on earth could I plug them in to in order to do them any justice?! :)

Well, believe it or not, I probably would, if I had the money...

"Obviously nothing this good comes cheap and in the US Sennheiser will be charging around $1,400 for the HD 800s...whatever the UK price, I'm tempted to think that it will be worth every penny"
It's a pair of headphones. I'm sure most non-oil country owning readers would consider spending that amount of money on a complete system about once every 10 years!
Just who do you think your main demographic is? Sultans? Worth every penny, I'll take your word for it!
