They better sound good!!

I wonder how much better they will be than a pair of HD650 or Grado GS1000 headphones??

Here I was thinking that I spent a lot of money on a pair of Grado SR125 headphones!!

To be honest, beyond a certain range they all sound 'good', and a lot of it boils down to individual preferences. Lots of people would not trade their HD600 for the HD650. Lots of people can't stand Grados no matter which one it is whereas others swear by it. The price is very high, but though they are pricier, but I am just as curious about how they sound. I mean, it's not often that headphone manufacturers release a new flagship can

head-fi went into meltdown the day the 800s were announced.

I love my 650s (newer revision) but was waiting for the successor, looks like I along with many others will have to wait longer haha.

They look absolutely HUGE!
But they're most definitely not 5 times better than the HD650s
