Sennheiser HD650 - The classic beauty in a grey dress Appreciation thread!

MRK's loss is a huge gain for me

I did like the 650's when I borrowed them off my workmate and I think if I listened to music mainly then I'd probably pick those up.

It's true though, for the price both 650 and XX are today, they offer a level of sound that covers all bases between them and it's gonna be very hard to find a better sounding headphone for anywhere close to that kind of money I imagine.

Or am I being mad?

Nope, it's why I've had mine for so long and have no intention to replace them.

I like the idea of doing the bottlehead crack but doing it with nicer wood

TwsT · 6 Jan 2016 at 09:09

yeah crack was on my attack list buy i bought some headphones instead haha

Crack is going to be a once I paid off my overdraft reward (so hopefully march/april time)

The Bottlehead Crack with the 650 is out of this world. Probably the best sub 2K pairing you can get IMO.

Are they import only

TwsT · 6 Jan 2016 at 15:14

yup and build yourself,

Quite a hefty discount on a 10 person group buy though

Rroff · 6 Jan 2016 at 15:18

^^ Is that a hint

james.miller · 6 Jan 2016 at 15:19

i really want the crack and speedball upgrade

hehe it's practically free shipping (or nearly a free speedball upgrade)

darreny · 6 Jan 2016 at 16:05

How much is it if 10 are ordered

mrk · 6 Jan 2016 at 16:05

Hotel California on these :eek:

Does the Crack have USB option?

rids57 · 6 Jan 2016 at 16:25

The Crack is just an amp

$299 down to $254, something like £205 down to £173.

Figured it might have an option since it is kit form, ah well.

Looks too much like some bottles and a shoe box for my liking and too big to fit on my desk anyway - I'd much prefer the Project Ember myself

with the speedball upgrade
£ 3,158.61 for 10 delivered (not including import taxes if any)

without speedball upgrade

£ 2,124.52 for 10 delivered (not including import taxes if any)

242.69 is the landed costs of 1 on its own (not including import taxes if any) so it's around a £30 saving, but it's a bad time to be buying from the US atm june last year it was £15 cheaper before shipping just because of the exchange

Ryanr1987 · 6 Jan 2016 at 17:14

God sake, now I'm considering putting off the LCD-2 and getting another crack! Ryan focus!

TwsT · 6 Jan 2016 at 17:17

No ryan stop
