Haha, yeah. The HD800 came out in 2009, and I think HD800s in 2016, I just feel like somehow they could have gotten the price lower, though maybe that's not the point as it's their "flagship" headphone. 8xx for $800 would have been more like it. I also don't like that they're offering $200 in drop credit, vs just giving you an additional $200 off. Im with you John, sticking with the Ananda and EQ.
This graph was in the comments on the drop article, but it was posted by their chief products officer. You can see it's a head-fi graph, so I'm thinking Jude probably measured it for them.
