Sorry to confuse you - I was sort of joking....
Go ahead and get your HD800S
I'm very confident that the Sennheiser Brand will continue in its current glory ! They are both highly respected brands here in Europe.
SONOVA & Sennheiser will simply combine their efforts to grow in their respective markets.
