PS: I know I broke my own rule and posted outside of my "official" thread

Great. More stuff I can't afford that I seriously want.

Prices in USD?

Only $970 AUD :P

^If only if that was the case

Just when I was almost sure on the LCD-2s, these had to come along.

I saw these on head-fi the other day. The preview of them seemed too glowing to not be hype. I'm sure they sound great, though DivergeUnify

Once you enter that price range you also get some heavy hitters, such as the HiFiMAN HE-6 (1.3k) and the Audeze LCD-2 (1.0k).

I feel I will be getting divorced soon if the wife finds me oogling these...! :shock:

Meh: I'm done with Sennheiser. They might sound great, but for me - with an extra-large head - they are always crushingly tight. From the 202's to the 555 and 598s, I just can't wear them.

Considering how comfortable models from AKG (Q701), Audio Technica (ATH-A and ATHADs), and Grado are I cannot justify Sennheiser's vice-like grip across their product line.

HD650s feel really not tight at all on my head lol. I got them used, but still DivergeUnify

That's great for you, but I have a slightly, er, large head. Kind of like this:

1 grand for headphones?

Are you kidding me? I'm no audiophile but that seems excessive

Then why do peoplebuy the $100,000+ cars? cars below that price work fine.

I'm with you, I've had headphones snap in half for me after a few months :?

The ATH-AD700's fit me really nicely though, I'm hoping they last.
