Looking pretty nice! Wonder what these are going to sound like. They probably use a different driver since it's only 18ohms. $350 is kind of steep though. Hoping it gets to $250ish so I can justify getting one.

The blue ones don't look half bad! I wonder if the headband is metal now too.

I'm just going to start a new thread about this because it seems like these are a definitive upgrade from the HD25 it resembles.

From Tyll:
Quote
A headphone that didn't suffer from the mayhem that is the CES show floor, is the new Sennheiser Amperor, which provides a good seal from outside noise. A direct descendent in the two decade long lineage of HD 25 series headphones, this gem of a headphone steps forward from the HD 25-1 II with aluminum anodized cups, micro-fiber ear pads, redesigned cable (pretty slick too); and, from what I can tell, a revamp of the acoustics.

I plugged it into my HeadAmp Pico Slim/iPhone rig and instantly fell in love. The previous HD 25-1 II is probably the world's most common DJ headphone, and for good reason: they're light and stay on your head, they isolate pretty well, and they sound great though a tad bit sharp. Boy, it sounded to me like they fixed that in these new cans. Eric Stubbert gave me an evaluation pair. Wooot!

I'll tell you a story: Jon Iverson and I went to dinner to talk shop and eat sushi Tuesday night. When we were done, I picked up my gear and said, "Say, Jon, I think you should have a listen to these."

I settled up with the waiter and he sat and listened through a whole song gently bobbing his head often. He took the cans off after the song and said to me, "It's really the fault of the rooms in these hotels, but I think that's the best sound I've heard yet at the show."

I was digging the walk back to the hotel Monday night, that's for sure.

So many new portables! It's awesome.

I am really interested to this as my portable HP and now the earcups can be rotated.. sweet!

Amperior-related posts split off of the S.H.I.T. thread and merged with this one - all Amperior-related posts go here! :)

I wish they had kept a black color scheme for the Amperior, scratches will show up fast on the silver cups.

Very interested if it's not as clampy as the HD25 and the highs are tamed and the bass tightened up
If it looks bad CF it, If it sounds bad DENKO it!

Definitely velour.  8)

I am definitely interested in the Amperior. If this proves to be a definite step-up from the HD25, I may be saving up dosh for this.

Apparently some sort of microsuede? Kind of like the T70?
