Thanks for all of your input. I was just suspicious but it looks like I was wrong.

Well, amazon guarentees purchases through its site, so I so go for it and return it if the headphones don't work out.

That's a pretty standard price for HD650s actually. About 8 months ago they were going for $275 shipped new on Amazon. I'd say it's legit.

headroom = $350

There must have been a price drop recently. I checked with them several weeks ago and I could swear they were $450. I would gladly buy from Headroom, they have always provided a good product and good service.

Thanks.

Type the code "HD650" when you are at the headroom checkout and they drop the price to $350.

dont use the quotes though !

Thanks, I wonder if they give us Head-Fi'ers another discount.....

There are a lot of opportunities to overpay for Sennheiser HD600/650. $325-$350 seems like a very good but legit discount price. When I bought mine on Ebay, they were new for all intents and purposes. I paid $300 for those.

It doesn't seem to me like it would be worth anyone's trouble to counterfeit a relatively low volume item like the HD650. Now conterfeit Bose on the other hand - I would be surprised if they aren't already cirulating. The fakes might sound better than the real ones, who knows.

Bought mine from J&R and they were $329 with free shipping. I gave them my email address and they sent the "sale price." This was early December.

I think Headroom has a new price on 650s @ $329? And even if I had to pay more for a product w/Tyll and his crew I would still consider it a great buy. They are the best I've seen in customer care, follow through and commitment. Period.

I still think it's better to buy fully burned-in ones from a trusty fellow Head-fier. Price range is usually $250->$300, and in excellent condition (most of the time) with extras thrown, usually.
