I find it humorous that people are arguing about cluttering up the thread and in the process further cluttering up the thread. Lets all calm down here and chill out. I don't blame the guy for being excited about the Jotunheim so I can understand why he posted about it because of the perceived...

I'm a moron double posting

I was just going to post this deal you beat me too it.  It's even better than the Adorama deal from a few days ago but only if you shop at Newegg frequently. Also not having to deal with rebates is a plus.  Edit: forgot to quote. I'm referencing the post directly above mine. 

just got my senn 650's today that were from the deal someone posted here. the clamp is much greater than i thought it would be but that should loosen up after awhile. for 284 usd it isnt a bad deal plus its been a long time since i listed to traditional drivers. so used to planar it's refreshing

those prices are insane? any catch or are they brand new? Also I cannot find the 650's on their site could you provide a link? Thanks Edit: nevermind. It wouldn't come up searching on their site. I had to search via google to find the product page which was weird.
