Just received my HD 6XX (Serial 2357) to Australia, powered by a Schiit Magni 2 amp, these headphones aren't as bass heavy as something like the AKG M/K200 series or the Koss PortaPro, but the mids on these headphones really shine with the hour and a half that i've spent listening to Random Access Memories (Daft Punk), Starboy (The Weeknd) & Awaken My Love (Childish Gambino) albums. These headphones don't hide anything which is an extremely good thing for a pair worth this money. On an extremely well mixed album you will appreciate these cans. (Daft Punk especially) .
The Midnight Blue/Stealth Black paint job on these headphones is an excellent coloring choice by Massdrop & Sennheiser and will maintain these headphones as a limited release and should be seen in person. The packaging is extremely nice with the headphones being contained in foam within a large dark fabric covered hard box with hinges.
The cable length, is a bit on the small side, I think it's around 1.7m long but Sennheiser sell the 3m cable with the 6.5mm plug for around $25 AUD on their online spares store. So if you're using an amp with a 1/4 jack it's easy to get a cable to fit without using the provided adapter.
All in all, besides the ordering issues. Considering these headphones (HD650) are worth $450AUD+ in Australia, to get a pair of these with Sennheisers full international warranty for under $300 AUD is an extremely good deal.
So thank you Massdrop, good job.

alvianmight be the holidays messing with the delivery times, I don't mind it being late as long as they don't lose the package. someone commented here earlier saying the support from MD claimed that it can take up to 3-6 weeks. I guess we'll have to wait.

hao7DHL tracking is useless. It hasn't updated since December 14, but this morning I received my headphones. I immediately checked DHL tracking and once again there was no update about the package. This evening it suddenly updated to Dec 30: ARRIVED AT DESTINATION COUNTRY and Jan 3: DELIVERED.
Unbelievably, USPS tracking is worse. These are the only two entries for this delivery: December 14, 2016 - Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item January 3, 2017 - Delivered
Australia Post tracking has no entry at all.
