just in case anybody was wondering, I ordered some parts from Sennheiser a couple of months ago, here's some of the prices:

 

 

HD600 Driver = $62.95 each

HD650 Driver = $44.xx each

 

HD600 grill cover = $12 each

HD650 grill cover = $42 each

 

HD600 headband assembly $77.xx  part no. 059570

HD650 headband assembly $98.13 part no. 549347

...additional parts are listed on the Sennheiser USA website(cable,earpads, and headband cushion)

Thanks for the info! I was going off of something I read in a different thread. I'm shocked that a DRIVER costs the same as a piece of metal...

Huh so if an HD600 driver blows then you can get an HD650/600 Frankenstein

Does this all mean that you could order the separate components and put together an HD650 for much cheaper than retail? Is anyone thinkin' what I'm thinkin'??

Save yourself $90 and just dont have grills!!!

 

But, don't forget you're also going to need pads, headband pad, and a cable. I think the pads are just as ridiculously priced as the rest.

Is it just me, or is this Sennheiser's way of admitting that the HD600 is the superior can? Because it's about time biggrin.gif. JK, of course.

I did prefer the HD600 when I had them both...I really regret letting it go(hd600) especially for the price I SOLD it!mad.gif

Likely why replacement parts are astronomically high. You used to be able to build HD650's for ~$240; although keep in mind, you're missing the box, warranty, and 1/4" - 3.5mm cable
