If I was interested in ordering a pair of these in Canada, for a reasonable price (not interested in paying 500$ at Canada Computers), where would I look?

I purchased through Razordogaudio in the us.  Yes I live in Canada.

Cool, how much did it come to with shipping, duties taxes etc? I see they have a coupon on there (100$ off purchase of 300$ or more), were you able to use it?

 

[Tuco1965]

I don't remember the exact price  but it was somewhere just over 300 more than a year ago.  For sure all in was under 400

Has anyone hardwired a cable to their HD600?
 
I have a pair I bought around 10 years ago that has seen regular use and one of the retention springs that holds the cable pins in the left side must be failing, an issue Tyll mentioned somewhere. Swapping out various cables does not solve the issue; the sound cuts in and out when I wiggle the cable.

Got my a pair these today. I had a few cheap senns in the past and always thought they're ok but terribly boring compared to my Grados. I think because of this, and perhaps my vsonic iems,  I always associated "balanced" with boring and thought I just like coloured cans.
 
I could not have been more wrong. The 600s are fantastic. I didn't think it was possible, but they managed to be wonderfully detailed and very smooth and lush at the same time. They're not boring that's for sure, but I wouldn't call them exciting either. "Exciting" seems like a childish thing to want in a can now. **WARNING: BIZARRE ANALOGY INCOMING** Sure, lying down in quiet room is boring compared to running around having fun. The 600s are like lying down quietly except you're in a big warm bed and you just realised its not Friday at all, its Saturday and you turn over and dose away with a big smile on your face.
 
A bit bummed I put up with the discomfort of Grado 325s for so long. Im going to sell them as soon as I can, I'll keep the sr60s for nostalgic reasons. I was going to say I'll keep the M50s but I struggled to come up with a reason to. 
 
I should've bought them years ago. Why did I get that stupid balanced is boring idea in my head. Ughh.

I tried... no dice the TINY lead wires are impossible to solder.
 
I think in your case all you have to do is re-bend the spring coils back to their original position.  I did that once years ago with my 580.

Hey Kramer, really good to see you posting. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try.

Thanks.. Word of caution, the wires are VERY easy to break.  Be careful and take your time removing the lollipop driver housing.  Also keep metal objects away from the drivers once they are removed.  The magnets are small but powerful enough to attract paper clips, staples, tweezers...etc.  The very tool you use to re-bend the springs could jump across the table and crush the driver diaphragm.  I use a wood/bamboo BBQ skewer, whittle it down to a flattened point with my knife... like a small screwdriver.

I had these on last night watching some TV at the pc . Forgot I had them on at some stage, there was a louder than usual event in the show I was watching. I got startled and thought i was watching via speakers and had the sound too loud and wake the kids. Very very surreal moment that was. At that moment I also thought these cans were wow

How is the voice coil connected to the spring?
 
Does the spring basically straighten out which is what causes the intermittent connection with the cable pin? By re-bend, I take it you mean to try to put it to back to its original spring shape?

ideal headphones for home listening even if you dont have strong source/amplifier but i couldnt wear them outside and headphones which cant be used anywhere loose meaning to me. i rather pay extra money for audio technica expensive portables... its like wearing jewel on your ears compared to these
