Sennheiser unveils $1k HD 700 reference headphones, HD 25-based Amperior for mobile audiophiles

Here at CES, Sennheiser's just unveiled its latest duo of headphones set to please audiophiles at home and on the go. First up is the company's HD 700, which at a glance, appears to be a suave hybrid of its esteemed HD 800 and 650 reference cans. If you've lusted after the HD 800, but couldn't stomach the $1,500 price, you'll be happy to know that the HD 700 can be yours for a cool (albeit still wallet-thinning) 1,000 smackers. Notably, these 150-Ohm, open-backed headphones are loaded with 40mm Duofol dynamic drivers, and are capable of an impressive 10Hz to 42kHz frequency response. Next up, its Amperior supra-aural headphones take the already portable HD 25 DJ 'phones, and spices 'em up with an iDevice-compatible inline remote / mic and aluminum, closed-back earcups. While there's no word on pricing just yet for the Amperior, both it and the HD 700 will hit shelves this March. HiFi audio lovers will find a detailed rundown of each unit's ear-tingling specs in the press releases after the break.
