Administrator Marc Posted September 12, 2017 Administrator Share Posted September 12, 2017 When you’re the most well-known headphone manufacturer in the world it’s only fair you make a statement. The HE-1 is Sennheiser’s statement, and you can hear for yourself what $75,000 headphones sound like at this year's greatest festival of sound and music, the Melbourne International HiFi Show.

Administrator Marc Posted September 13, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2017 I think you have to take a step back and look at it like F1. That's where research and development happens and then the technology trickles down. While I do know of some consumer sales of the HE-1 (and yes, I suspect they do earn 4M a year so could afford it), they're designed to showcase the brand and say "this is the very best we can do". When you think about it, Sennheiser are spending a substantial amount of money at shows (including ours) around the world just to let you listen to them with no expectation to sell any at all. That's marketing and brand awareness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaynin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 They can sell $75,000 headphones all day long for all I care. If I can rock up and have a listen for nothing, then I'm stoked! I think my VIP pass will come in handy for this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator2310 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 You did well. I was told they were $81,000! They sounded amazing of course. The sort of response that seems to make more and more room for the sound as it increases in density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
