Yup, $300 or less. I got a like-new pair directly from Sennheiser for $275ish around this time last year. HD650 cost me a bit more but still in the $350 range or so. Same sorta thing direct through Senn.

Your review on infidelity got my vote and I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the HD650's tomorrow.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. (And don't forget about the simple mods floating around in one of the threads here.)

As much as I hate to admit it, though... If you're impatient like I was, and have heard the HD600 before, then even at full price, it's worth buying. Patience has never been my strong suit, tbh.

At $300, give or take, it's a no-brainer.

Pulled the trigger on a new HD650 a few hours ago... $320 shipped

There are more, but I don't want to advertise. PM for the source if you're interested. I asked a large seller for a deal and they came through. I would like to share the deal if anyone else is looking. They told me Sennheiser has recently raised the wholesale price.

I've listened to them before, but the current price put me off, until the deal I inquired about came through.

The mods look nice and simple too.

I also ordered an extra stock cable and I'm going to chop the 1/4" plug and solder a neutrik 4pin XLR  to it. Never mind the $250 stock balanced cable, $30 is what I'm talking about.

Finally, I think I'm done modding my HD600. Won't touch it ever again, except for maybe to change the ear pads when they go bad?

Pushing 3-4KHz down without cutting into the higher frequencies too much or boosting bass? It seemed like a fantasy, but somehow I achieved it.

Oh, and here's a bonus: lower bass distortion. At 100Hz, the stock measurement showed 0.399% bass distortion. Modded, it's 0.169%. That's a massive improvement IMO. It's very audible, and... I must admit, I'm loving it.

So what does it entail? Just... dynamat. Lots of it. And optional front damping if you'd like to fix the FR. To me, this headphone was a bit bright at stock, so I "fixed" just that.

Will post the process and all once I'm less lazy (or once my internet allows uploading huge images...). Now to finally enjoy my music and not have to worry about missing out on much.  :)p7

Edit: some photos went through so... enjoy!





Look, ma, no dust cover, nothing between ears and drivers!  :)p1
