holy crap thats expensive...

 $499AUD still full retail over here in Australia and the price is probably going to go back up..
 
 Some unscrupulous retailers who shall remain nameless had the cheek never to pass the price
 saving on to customers ~ still at $699AUD.
 
 At the old price and in this current market ~ you'd just buy an LCD-2 and be done with it with
 that sound signature.

What other headphones is the same quality or better than the 650s for around $300-$350ish?

 Thought about going 2nd hand with the HD650?
 
 Otherwise, HD600, DT880-250ohm or DT990-250ohm are all options.
 
 However, if you love the HD650's unique presentation then nothing else will do.

Very often

I picked up my HD-650 almost a year ago for $365 on ebay from a auth dealer.  At the time it was the best price and I didn't want to wait for a sale.
 
I also got a Bottlehead Crack for it and now I'm looking for a DAC.

Wow 499 now! i got mine less then a month ago for 350, and i don't think you are getting a fake one as long as it's directly from amazon.

yeah man the price went up twice in less than 1 week which sucks ass.  i guess amazon don't want my money cause i was gonna spend $352 when they were that price a week ago.  now ill just wait for a sale.
