P.S. How was your experience with buying from Audio-gd? Shipping speed, etc.? I guess I'm just excitedly impatient to get my setup in shape, and they don't have any 'cart' I can place an order, and am still waiting for their reply.
 
P.P.S. Nice C6 sig

I'm in the USA I bought from Pacific Valve as they are a reseller of them here in the states.
 
Thanks on the C6.  Gotta love the GM V8 engines.

Ok. I checked Pacific Valve earlier but they're out of stock of NFB-12's, so I'll just have to hope Audio-gd isn't too slow I guess.

I'm buying an HD 650 or 600 with Audio-GD NFB-12
 
Originally I didn't want to need extra clunky equipment just to use headphones, but in the end I gave that idea up since I'd rather have best sound quality.

I just nuked my post. My reading comprehension skills arent so good sometimes. Anyway I think your probably going to like your NFB 12. I have a Sparrow that I use with my Grado's. The 600's and 650's both have awesome reputations too. Enjoy!

Yeah I know, then I tried to nuke mine but then failed miserably as you can see by the three blank posts above

Once the item ships (use DHL) it gets to the US very fast.  2-4 days isn't uncommon.  The advantage to PV is you'd have a US based service center.  I agree with NOsferatu's comments regarding the HD650s, HD600s--it pretty much matches my experience owning both, both new drivers.  The guy who runs Razordogdeals is a nice guy, and he's flexible IME; in case you need to work something out.

Too much Sennheiser talk.
 
No one has mentioned Fostex T50RP ??

 

[ac500]

Is it recommended to get a 650 cable for the 600, or does it not matter much?
 
kiteki: I don't want closed headphones.

If you don't want an amp, the 32-ohm DT880 is a nice option.

 

[kiteki]

ac500 I'm not sure if you'll be satisfied with the HD600 directly from your sound-card, I'm pretty sure they require some sort of amplification, so you'll most likely end up spending a fair bit and losing portability.
 
The Fostex T50RP apparently sound OK unamped, and are said to compete with headphones in the ~$300 range, just an idea.  I haven't heard the T50RP myself just going by consensus on head-fi.

 

[kiteki]

oh ok don't want closed... and you don't like treble.... hmm then I am not sure.

You could consider a high-end earbud like the Yuin OK2 or Sony E888 as well, they don't go in your ear and earbuds sound very open and are highly portable and convinient.
