Awesome! I'm really one of those people that can wait that long for an order! I'll order it right now! (Sarcasm, of course)

1 - Length of the cord is permanent. That is the length without any extension.
2 - I love how we humans always have that philosophy. "I'm spending this much, so why not double it so I can get something else!" But that is just the thing, set a budget and stick with it. (I have a problem with that all the time!) But, if you want to pay double and 'upgrade' that is entirely your choice.
But the thing is, are the A700's really an upgrade?
I don't think so. I have been an owner of the AD700 for almost a year now, and I am looking for something better. Thus, I have been lead to the RX900, and yes, I look to them as an 'upgrade' to my AD700's. There has been many people that actually prefer the RX700/900 to the AD/A series. (I know AD700 are open, but the SQ is about the same, actually a bit better, than the A700)
A cable that long isn't as big of a hassle as you might think. It can get annoying if you are taking them 'everywhere' though.
Haha yeah, I asked an Amazon sales rep about whether that "1-2 months" was a mistake and was told that they would, in fact, take 1-2 months to ship. She said I'd receive them between August 24th and September 24th. What an amazing deal! /sarcasm

So now I'm pretty dead set on the RX900s. The only things keeping me from ordering them are (1) the length of the cord--is it 11/13' feet with an extension or is that hardwired? that's a lot of cable to lug around--and (2) now that I'm spending $60, why not double that and perhaps buy a pair of Audio-Technica's A700, which are truly closed and overall a slight improvement over the RX900s in terms of form and function.
