    I'm thinking of the future. At least hold on to the 650. I've lost count of how many SBAFRS who've said that they sold 'em just to rebuy them.

    @Wilson yeah, I might. Especially I just remodded it with KISS. Might sell Modi Multibit as well (depends; some says ZX2 is better).

    Jot + Modi Multibit could be traded for a nice portable rig.

    Do it. Things are always changing and you can always repurchase these things used down the line. I'm done holding onto things I'm not using (unless it would be hard to find again)

    @Wilson @Cellist88 yeah I'm waiting for WM1A. Will try HD650. Tried with A17, 650 was a limp dick. No power.

    @brencho thanks for the advice! I realized that I "hoard" more and more.

    @Rotijon Modi Multibit and Jotun cost a lot, personally.

    How about gov2A then? Balanced out matched pretty damn well with 650

    Agreed, go2a is pretty nice with most any headphone.

    Keep them. You'll be back, and a solid SS amp and a pair of 650s will never be a waste to own. Sell them and you'll end up replacing them, losing money on the deal.

    Audition a Sony ZX-100 if you can stretch to one meantime, see how you like it, for mobile use? Add IEMs for ease of carry and isolation..

    I sold my Jot, Modi Multibit, HD650 combo, for a ZX2 and Andromeda. I don't even miss them for a second...

    ..because you have Andros and a ZX2, hardly surprising :) May be slightly out of @TRex's current budget, though.

    @JK47 @Kattefjaes the problem with Andro isn't the price (although it's $$$$) or sound (would be 10/10 perfect if it was a DD) but universal fit. Even Etymotics don't isolate as well as customs and universal hurt my tiny canals after a while.

    Yeah, they don't fit my ears either- the capsule is too big and angular for me, and the nozzles too short- such a shame, I really like the sound. I use UM Martians right now, which are surprisingly comfy for universals.
