Very tempting indeed...but beyond my budget I'm afraid
First tried Sennheisers 2 years ago, and I'm still trying them now.
Granted it's the gaming headset that I have (PC360). They have have been dropped/thrown more times than I can remember, alternated between 5 different devices, had things accidentally dropped on them, squashed into bags, tangled up in storage, the cable has got stuck under my chair and the mic has been subjected to many Welsh swear words. Still work as if I'd bought them yesterday.
I knew from reviews that the sound quality was brilliant. What I didn't know was that they seem to be able to withstand mortar fire.

Sennheiser are amazing
I have pc 350s and 360s and 350 se
I use them with a astro mixamp would like to try the hd 650s if the price was lower as you can get them cheaper else where
hopefully you can lower it
Think I'll put a order in for the MM 30i as they seem like a good price

PC360 here too. Superb quality sound and peerless microphone clarity.
First set I RMA'd to Sennheiser just before the warranty ran out (it was replaced in less than a week) because changing volume via the dial on the right side resulted in a loud crackling noise and sound disappeared intermittently in the left or both can(s) after doing so.
The replacement has never been as comfortable (it was very tight until I stretched them by leaving them stretched over my PC when not in use) and I'm getting the crackling sound with that set now too when changing volume.
Aside from that seeming design flaw they have been by far the best set I've ever used.

OK
Momentums - Now matching market pricing on it. Look out for some TWO offers on these when the stock lands.
Momentum On Ear - Now matching market pricing on it.
598 - We are price competitive
558 - We are price competitive
MM 30i - We are price competitive
650 - The market on these is messed up currently. Our pricing is in line with one of our competitors who are probably in the same boat as us but the Rainforest are smashing this sku up.
PCV 05 - We are price competitive

Very nice prices though you might want to update the OP re: HD558 prices.
Would love to see some combo deals with high end headphones + mod mic. They would sell like hotcakes.
Or even just somewhere UK/EU based that sells the modmic full stop. Have you looked into selling them?

You can count me in on the first batch!
I had a pair of HD SD 25's I used/abused for around 7 years. They still work now and I've only ever had to replace ear cushions on them (cheapy ebay ones).
I've only gone away from Sennheiser due to the price, if they did a 5.1 set (with mic) for <£70 I'd have them over my Roccat Kave any day of the week (even though the Roccat are superb).

the only price we are out on is the 650
the rest of the prices are competitive in the market
Sennheiser have been made aware of this and basically the reason the pricing is out is because the rainforest are matching an unauthorised reseller who is listing grey import stock.
consequentially the channel on this product is screwed and rainforest are making a loss.
sennheiser are aware of this and are working to resolve it

Ocuk, please sell the earpads for the 558s please, i dont wana go to the bay for em. And i dont wana pay daft prices i.e £20 inc shipping from senn themselves. See what you can do.
£20 inc shipping for a pair? That isn't bad to be honest. If you see what some other pads cost.
Look forward to seeing the updated prices. The 650's are £60 more than a-lot of other places currently.
