^I can understand the confusion and frustration as I was going through same situation a month ago. Despite of 4k budget, I ended up buying 2k headphone, and I feel today that I took the right decision

What according to you is the best Headphone under 7k??^I can understand the confusion and frustration as I was going through same situation a month ago. Despite of 4k budget, I ended up buying 2k headphone, and I feel today that I took the right decision
^I'm no audiophile mate. But just suggestion- these are some items which we buy only after worthy time, so why not take the best available and not regret later? (wait and go for M50)
But M50 are known to not easily driven. So that again puts a need for an amp.

Hmm, the wait will kill me, I'll sell of my siberia and raise some cash.^I'm no audiophile mate. But just suggestion- these are some items which we buy only after worthy time, so why not take the best available and not regret later?
Can a steelseries USB soundcard drive it?^I'm no audiophile mate. But just suggestion- these are some items which we buy only after worthy time, so why not take the best available and not regret later?

SteelSeries - Gaming Headsets - SteelSeries Siberia USB Soundcard
Steelseries USB soundcard, uses some C-Media Virtual 7.1 surround chip, the virtual surround actually works ok, but I use 2.0 mode for music, 5.1 for movies and 7.1 for gaming.
^You already own it?
BTW the link you gave is showing there is no official 7 support

Yes, the page does not show it, but if you check the driver download section a Win 7 driver is already available and it works flawlessly.^You already own it?

The drivers are being updated even as of 2012.

I postponed the purchase and they got sold. Sorry should have completed the story before getting you excited.
(Some guy had bought an extra pair and was selling it sealed)
Also pristinenote went from 7k to 9k overnight.
They are a little balanced though but people have told me they are not analytical and have ample bass. I guess we are not satisfied with ample. I decided on some Vero Moda cans and I am awaiting a fairy to land from USAland.
If I had to buy locally I would go with the Sony ones. For some reason they throw immense amount of bass into their cans.
(making it a little muddy though)
I dont think the price will come down any time soon. Pristinenote said the same on TE. Especially when the new stock is yet to arrive and takes considerable time to clear.
Unless $ hits 45 again and AT decides not to sell it for such a premium you wont see the 6.5k price tag again.

^If you'are basshead, Sony XB series mentioned by Sarath is the way to go. XB= xtra bass btw I have heard lot about XB500. And yeah, prices are not gonna cool off very soon. I got my M20 for 2.1k inspite of site's price @ 2.7k

I like bass, but not a basshead, I have doubts about Sony cans, don't remember anyone recommending them, its either M50 or Grado SR60i/AD700, damn it^If you'are basshead, Sony XB series mentioned by Sarath is the way to go. XB= xtra bass

The only choice it seems, PristineNote in TE says M50 will come in stock by end feb or beg march, waiting eagerlylol wait for at least 2 months then
^No feb, at least march (take my words). Most of audio items are out of stock. I also wanted to buy pl-21.
