    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Dam!  Now I want the Senn HD 800"s too.  You guys are killing me.  This is why I like headphones.
It is ineluctable as they had very different performance and hi quality.
I wonder if your phones performance dont bore you after some hours??

Brazil. Buy overseas would be doable if custom house taxes are not 100% over product+ship price.
The result of this taz hungry is that most audiophiles trip to Portugal to audio shopping and hide the equip in the hand baggage.

Oh wow, well I don't feel as bad for you if you live in Brazil...lots of Brazilian beauties, amazing weather, robust economy, and the greatest futbal team on earth! If I come down to Brazil for the cup next year, I'll bring you some T1s!  :thumb:

Difference in sound between the T1's and the Senn HD 800's?  Anyone own both?  I think I'll own both very soon.  Oh yea! :lol:

In my city there is three Sennheiser aeronautics dealers, but Sennheiser Brazil dont allow these dealers sells any audio product.
So no demo HD800. :duh:

Uh... don't forget the music! If I had to live in a country based solely on the music, first would be the States then it would be Brazil.

That's pretty disturbing if someone can smuggle something the size of a pair of headphones through airport security. Those HD800's in particular should have a helluva X-ray signature with all that stainless steel.

I unaware how they do the details, as I dont go air trips.
Seems to me x ray detector dont exists here, this is exclusive for target countries as USA.

But I will inform me about it and report here.

Maybe I jumped the gun with a general statement  8) but I'm highly partial to samba and samba type music especially the female voices - sexy! Love Rosa Passos (though I think she lives in LA), Jussara Silveira, Jairzehno Oliveira, Marcio Faraco, Bossacucanova and of course, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina.
