Me three! Now another 2 odd weeks wait.
Now that I have my Brainwavz HM5 for a couple of months, I learned that I still prefer my Sennheiser HD580/HD600. The HM5 is not quite on the same fidelity-level. It's still my go-to $120 closed headphone recommendation though.
Agree. Problem is that since I got my SE535 Ltd Ed, the HM5 has had very little head-time lately. If I'm portable - it's the Shures. If I'm at home - it's either the SR325i or HD600 (depending on the mood I'm in) - mostly the Senns.
As great as the HM5 are - and I rate them very highly for a closed can - I'm seriously considering selling mine.
For me it's a HD25-1 II or RE0 for portable use and a DT880/K701/HD580 for home use. The HM5 comes in handy when I don't want to bother my girlfriend when I'm listening to media at night. The HM5 isn't a definite upgrade over the HD25-1 II though so they haven't yet secured their position amidst my headphone family. They're excellent closed gaming cans though so I might keep 'em just for that purpose.

Has anyone had these as well as the Shure 840? I'm trying to decide between the two.....I'm looking for a flat/neutral sound signature close to the hd600/580, but closed and easier to drive. Anyone prefer these over the shr-840.....or the reverse?
