Darkvoice 3322 tube amp and HRT Music Streamer II I hope will drive them quite well!

You should probably be fine then. I mean, the he-400 is probably a bit better, the 650 is still amazing

which is why I'll eventually own both. I imagine they would compliment each other quite well with their different sound signatures.
 
God help me if HiFiMan has a promo on their HE line!

I was actually waiting on HE-400, which a lot of people seem to prefer when compared to HD650, but I still couldn't resist that deal. HD650 is well-loved, I'm sure for good reason. I think HiFiMan keeps a lot of their prices locked down as well, though...

 
I'm just surprised they're locking it down now, considering how old the headphone is, more than anything.

I wouldn't expect to see a refund processed until Monday.

 
I'm wondering how many people will leave negative feedback over the whole thing. I think more than anything, giving a coupon offering free shipping is a pretty poor tactic. I would have rather them said "our mistake" rather than, here's a coupon that doesn't really affect your purchase anyway.

Now that i think about it, HiFiMan could actually do that for cyber monday...they made sure no one that sells their products put sales on the he-400 and he-500 so....maybe they're planning something?
2nd reason why i didn't jump on the 650's....waiting on a sale for the he-400

HE-400/500/6 has become pretty popular, at least amongst head-fi community. They are a smaller niche company so from a business standpoint it does make some sense. Although it doesn't make sense for Sennheiser, considering they are so huge and the HD650 is what, like 10 years old now?

amen amen! but its been down to like 530 before, and that was new through amazon. i say have your finger on the trigger for the next time that happens.

Maybe it is a good thing I only recently stumbled upon this thread in the past week 

Thanks for looking out though, I won't pull the trigger until it gets down to $530-650!

Yeah this holiday I've bought HD650, RE0 and the Jaycar Pro Monitors (HM5 clone), but hell, if there is a deal on the HE-500s I'll probably still go for them too.

If they go on sale, i'll probably get the he-400....but the he-500 is tempting. Anyone know how they are with an e17?

That's a nice deal. I'll check my BB here in NC tomorrow and snatch one if they have them.
