Received mine today, ordered on October 13th, shipped on December 7th to Germany. Was hanging around in customs for a few days and had to pay €34,36 before ripping it from the delivery guy's hands.
As for the thing itself, I'm still evaluating the HD6XX, but it's hard as they will be my first extended experience with an open-backed headphone, and coming from a Bose AE2, this is no real comparison. The only comparison I can kind of make is with the Philips Fidelio X2, which I don't have on hand, but heard a few days ago. As far as I can tell, they sound similarly detailed, with a similarly wide soundstage. To me, the bass is a little more pronounced on the Philips. Though I have to say that the Philips were significantly heavier. I'm not a basshead, so the openness and less pronounciation on the bass of the HD6XX is less fatiguing to me, but really it's only possible to get to know that aspect after some time. I was and am driving all three headphones (the Bose, the Philips and the Sennheiser) off the audio output on my Asus ROG Strix Z270I motherboard. What is already fatiguing is the relatively strong clamp around my head (I pulled out the headband 10 steps on each side for a good fit). I hope that will fix itself after a while.
