For those who looking for cheap HD650 these days(like me), Kogan got this free shipping day today, I searched Amazons from other countries, doing price check everyday, $379 with shipping is the lowest price I can find these days, I was that closed to buy it from DWI the day before, lucky I didn't lol I'm also glad that most people go for Beats so I can grab mine instead of 'sold out'.
Also they got HD600 for $329
Kogan no good?
There's a reason why it rhymes with Bogan
ha fair enough
I thought abt dat at the beginning, but those parts in HD650s are replaceable, so yeah
I believe the references to Kogan are implying that Kogan may be selling Grey Imports;
Sennheiser HD650 at Kogan legit or not? - Headphones - Peripherals

Kogan ARE selling grey imports. it is not news or secret.
I have not bought anything from Kogan. I have been eyeing on this headphones for a few months and most recently from the massdrop offer. The price from amazon.fr was good but the Eur exchange rate is rather low at the moment. I don't think I can resist any further. This will join my other 10 headphones. Will test it out with my 2 tube amps/dac.
exchange rates these days just painful, I also order my dt880s 600ohm from massdrop, but all price combined together is around aud300 which stops me from getting hd650s from them few weeks ago, oh and plus the shipping.
I have bought the dt990 600ohm from amazon 2 years ago. It was too bright for my taste and was very hard to drive. My Asus Xonar Essence ST has setting for up to 600ohm but failed to drive the headphone properly. The 2 tube amps was better but was tempted to get the Woo audio tube amp when it was up at Massdrop. I can't wait to test the HD650 as it has great review and some prefers this over the Hd800.
My WA6 works perfect with dt880 so far, it gets a bit warm with it imo
Did you bought the WA6 from Massdrop?
don't think it's a bargain - it's gone cheaper before on amazon (for <$300):

you're probably better waiting, considering they're not exactly very new (and if it's been <$300 a year ago!) :)
I did find those topics as well that's why I compare the amazon price as well, amazon.fr was offering eur 229 at dat time, and with the exchange rate these day it = aud 350, and I don't think aud will go up soon lol
i got my pair from amazon.fr at that time. i dont know if $379 is really the best price we can get atm, but the op is right about the exchange rate. aussie dollor will continue going down and down. btw, i got a pair of t1 for around $700 only:)
omg, $700 for T1 -.-, I missed those days when we got strong aussie dollars
An amp is recommended for these.
your budget?
get a darkvoice 336se, available on the bay, just got one amazing :)
Meant to be really good match with 650s
Good price but it is Kogan :(
