I think I remember the HD800 being $1000->$1100 on release in 2009 but could be mis-remembering (or perhaps saw them selling for less at another time)?
The 660s can hardly be compared with the HD800 as many do still prefer the HD600/650. With the 600/650, some keep them for certain music even if they own the HD800.
When you can buy the HD58X for $150 or the HD6XX for $199?..this is all part of the point I was trying to make but it can come off as confusing I suppose.
Wow! Itās been that long since HD 800s came out. The older I get the faster the calendar pages turn. I tell my wife that we bought our refrigerator a couples of years ago. She says honey weāve had that over 5 yrs now. More reason to enjoy every moment. As George Harrison said " Be here now "
Iām sure it was tongue in cheek. He had the upper hand there. But they say that puns will never last, but if I can fit one in, Iāll sneaker in. I let him get away with that. I can be a heel. Maybe we should canvas the group on this subject.
āBe here nowā may have been popularized by Harrison but hereās a little trivia from the late 60s into the. early 70s.
Richard Alpert aka Baba Ram Dass (or just āRam Dassā) wrote a book in the early 70s with the titleā¦Be Here Now.
Iād take a wild guess itās an old Zen/Buddhist phrase that they both swiped but Harrison likely lifted it from Alpert (or perhaps the Beatles TM guru; the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)ā¦point being?
Famous people make less famous peopleās words/sayings more famous, often without credit
