Seems like a good deal to me, especially if you are Canadian. I can't find an hd650 anywhere for less than 500 CADs on any canadian retailer (new), so it saves me about 170 CAD and comes shipped too. I would consider the shipping time as the trade off for the price point. Going from an AKG K701, im curious to find out how these will compare and if a matrix m-stage amp is good for these.
