I might cave in before then and buy this borrowed 007t/O2 rig. I guess by the end of April I might have recovered from the new stove and oven I had to buy, which cost about as much as the HD-800s do.

The chance that females buying these ugly plastic headphones is zero.
Not 'close to'
Not 'almost'
Just zero.
.....Trust me.

Yep and I am #33 in line at headroom (maybe less depending on how many others have canceled their order since I called).

Let me guess, you haven't actually held the HD800's in your hands before, let alone actually listen to them?
