That's a good price. But I'm okay paying $30 more for NIB. I don't plan to sell mine ever so I don't want any issues with warranty should it ever come up.
Just got my HD650s about 2 hours ago.
LOVE them!
ODAC>A-GD SA-31>HD650.
Those mids.... haven't heard anything like it! The bass is nice and full, and there is NO veil. I've wasted almost 3 years waiting to listen to these, because I was afraid of the 'veil'. Perhaps the older ones had a veil, but these silver screened ones sure don't.
For a person with limited income there is no better headphone than the HD 650.
Hey, but maybe back then it was the black drivers, which were veiled.
I'm still not an HD650 person in terms of a main can, but it sure is nice as a compliment.
I must say, I don't like the stock HD650 cable. Seems cheap, and I feel the point where the Left and Right channels merge on the cable is too close/high up on the cable.
Might have to get an aftermarket one.
Something like this:

I agree with everything you're saying, I am adding more to your list, like Ed8 (very nice bass however), the 'in'-famous Ed10, PS1000, sometimes GS-1000 and RS-1 can be nice too
Have you compared to ATH-AD2000? Just wondering what's your thought comparing the two.

They aren't what I usually go for, but for a secondary purpose, they are amazing. I must say that having low expectations made the end result even sweeter. I honestly thought I was gonna hate them. Im in love with its vocals. It sounds sultry and organic. A rare trait.
Im also very surprised at how gorgeous they look in person too. I was expecting the typical Sennheiser plastic feel. But these are just lovely to see in person. Those grills... im a sucker for sexy grills.
