    They'll have to be because I don't have any analogue music left.

    Sounds like I'm coming to stay at your house for a few days! *starts packing*

    Semi-related...nearly time to retire this thread and start an official impressions thread?

    Would you mind sharing where I can buy an actual HD-600 or HD-650 for $150 and $200 respectively.? I cannot seem to find any at those prices, , maybe it is not "dang" time yet here in the US!

    That seems to be Solderdude. He's kool IMO.

    Not bad for a 150 ohm can. I don't know if I can conclude that HD660S has less distortion than the HD650. To me they look pretty close. It would be interesting to compare tone with the HD600. I have a feeling the HD660S might be a little more forward.

    Ordered. But @Ray might have shipped to me too. Sennheiser could still take their sweet time.

    Here's the deal. I don't have HD650 anymore. I have the HD650K, where the mods are not reversible. So I won't be able to compare to HD650 stock.

    Thanks for this. You saved me $50, so I guess I owe you a beer at the next meet. I called Senn and they let me apply the coupon code. The nice lady said they may not ship till Friday though. Boo...

    I will indeed wait for your impression.

    Edit : I do have HD650 stock as well, and willing to send it for testing. But it is now 10 years old so the sound may not be same as 'recent' ones. Pads are new (as I replaced the pads when required) and the cable is non-stock.

    "When you like the tonal balance of the HD650 and are wanting a bit less ‘polite’ version of it.
    A little bit more ‘dynamic’ and ‘lively’ version of the HD650."


    Will definitely be interesting to see how it compares to Marv's set, seeing as that description fits a modded HD650 (at least from what I've seen, still yet to do the mods on mine) quite nicely.

    That is Solderdude (Frans) the designer of the Garage 1217 gear. He was planning a trip to this dealer for a while to do some measurements.
