Ya I think the inevitable truth is that I will just keep breaking them and needing to replace them. I pretty much only use them at home (I gave up on going out in public with anything I care about years ago) - I should really consider a side-career in wear-testing clothes and electronics. I wish there was something to be done about the length of the cord. The flexibility it offers is great, but so often it just ends up a liability.

Saw them live in some random store in Helsinki and was just wondering...

Who goes to a random ass electronic store in Helsinki and just says...know what? Gimme 1 of them Sennheiser HE-1S please.

You probably cannot even listen to them 🤣

“ who is switching gear all the time”.

Me. Listening to music on my ADX5000 with its delicate, reserved weeb tuning is a vastly different experience than say my Focal Utopia which will rumble and growl at you for instance. It’s fun to experiment in this manner. I’d love to hear the HE1 though but i’d have to travel out of state to ever get the chance.

Honestly why? Who is switching gear all the time? If these kick like they should, youd use the hell out of them.

Instead of buying a pair, I'd be more interested in watching an hour long documentary of the research, testing, and building of these. What does that 40k go into I'm wondering?
