For anyone considering, Amazon has the HD700 for $430, available on the 27th.

 
That's a darn good price and anyone on the fence should jump on this now.  When I got mine they were $499 at Hi-Fi Heaven when Amazon wanted $539.  Yeah, $429.99 is a good deal.

Don't forget about the Amazon warehouse deals either. I got mine for 330 earlier this week... The only thing I can find wrong is the corner on the clamshell box s dinged.

Originally I thought maybe the cable was a little goofy. But I'm told it tangles easily?

Yea it does and it get annoying at times when you have to undo the tangle.

HD-700 cable is one of the worst, tangles/kinks easy, tried many ways to get it straightened out, hair dryer, heat gun, hanging with a weight for a month, no luck.

I have no single issue with the cable. It is too long, but I just coiled and tied it up next to the amp.
 
One interesting question which I want to ask guys here is - how do you keep your headphones clean? Or you just sell them

 
I have some fears that the silver thing will get dusty after time and I won't be able to clean it up - so many little holes there. Also these pads looks fragile of solutions (maybe soap water?).

If you want a shorter cable Ebay/Amazon has many choices
 
My headphones are all left out hanging on a rack in my living room, never had problems with dust, see picture:


You can wash the pads and over time you can get replacements, not cheap.  For me after a year and a half the pads still look new, seem very durable.

This is 2 years of fairly moderate use for my pads.

Do they still look in good condition to you?  Hard to tell in the picture with the lighting

Sorry, this should be a little better

With those scary snakes disguised as cables that hang from both my HD700 and HD800S, they are both very much at home here in the desert )))

Glad there are no snakes in Hawaii, hard to believe the HD-800S cable is a bad as the HD-700?

  Dang! Do you have a rotation schedule or something, so that you can get all of those phones in? I admire your collection.
 
  On a side note, your couch look ultra comfy...

No rotation schedule, usually just pick what I feel like listening to.  There are a few more in the bedroom and also a few that we have on the lanai
 
Couch is really comfy, and it also reclines and is just perfect for 2

So, why do you have more than 2 wine glasses, which I see covered to keep out the dust...

The towel that is covering the wine glasses is there to dry out, its a microfiber towel that dries the glasses really well, not really need for dust issues.  Also, the glasses get used almost every day
