Flipkart one will reach in a few days max, PristineNotes delivery may take 4/5 days depending on location, if you live in a metro you will get it fast.

And congrats man, nice choice.

Actually, I want to, but he is a doc, and lives a bit far away(forum member mukherjee), he has some upcoming exams, so don't wanna bother him now, just enjoy your T500, they are good.

M35 is foldable, not so much portable, even folded it won't fit in your pocket, not in any one of them, headphones like Sennheiser PX series, Koss Portapro are truly portable, M35 is just easier to store in a bag and requires less space.

But it trades comfort for portability, the M35 is a lot less comfortable compared to hanging design like T500 or my old Siberia.

My ears begin to hurt after a few hours, so can't have both.

If your head is big you would have hell with M35, it clamps down hard, but T500 hangs on your ears, so its a lot more comfortable, trust me, my experience with siberia had taught me, T500 will be lot more comfortable than M35, any day.

This headphone will serve you good for a long time.

Congrats, once you hook it up, and set it to EQ Mode II(Blue) you'll understand the difference.

Try using some decent headphones, not apple cr@p, I heard difference with Soundmagic PL30(IEM), PortaPro, M35.

Most people have never heard of it, why? Its all, SONY, SENNHEISER OMGWTFBBQ, people have the audacity to compare sub 2k sony IEMs with my PL30s, or cheap zebronics HP with Portapros, but EVERYONE in this forum, atleast the knowledgeable kind love Beyerdynamic(I love them, want one next year), so we would love a review, please go ahead :) :mrgreen:
