In late 2023, I was offered the chance to visit Sennheiser's factory in Tullamore, Ireland, to find out how it builds the different headphones that come from this factory – including the ultra-elite Sennheiser HE-1 headphones and amp package – and to have the chance to build a pair of the best wired headphones for myself.
I was in a group with other audio journalists, but the experience I had will actually be offered to "members of the audiophile community", with exclusive invitations handed out in 'Golden Tickets'. Information on opportunities to get one will come through Sennheiser's social media and Reddit – it's not like anyone can just book to rock up to the factory, but it could be possible for you to make the same visit.
