Expected HE-90, pleasantly surprised.

As I've said before, there is a high end headphones bubble right
now (just compare the range today and ten years ago), but I prefer
Sennheiser taking advantage of it, than some newcomers looking to
top the price only.

(As you can see, most "non-flagships" (mid-tier now)
were actually a very well established flagship models
for a number of years (K701, DT880, HD650/600 etc.)

Looks like the setup was made by the kitchen dept of B&Q.
I'll slum it with my Audeze LCD-2s powered with a Schiit Lyr 2 equipped with mid 60's E188CC dutch tubes.

Not yet but I don't plug the HP's in until the valves have warmed up and current stabilizes and unplug before powering off.
And they sound lully.
