Chivas,
 
Make her one of us?? you obviously have not heard my wifes taste in music, i think i would rather be deaf than listen to Take That!
And i did mention ear plugs last night and that went down like a lead baloon.
 
Looks like i will be getting a better pair of in ear phones at some point soon then!
 
 
As for power cables try it and see, i could notice a very small change in my cd player but a huge change in my lcd screen picture. so see if you can borrow one and play!

Chivas, the HD650 and the HD600 are very closed as far as specs so driving them from the same amplifier will eliminate having an impedance mistmach. However it assumes that both you and your spouse will like the same volume setting.
 
Grado makes a relatively good splitter at a reasonable price but if one of you likes the music loud and the other does not you will have to either compromise or put an in-line resistor to lower the volume in one of the cans. The problem w/ in-line resistors is that many feel the sound degrades w/ their use, and you will have to guess at what value to use.
 
Perhaps Graham can offer some technically superior solution.

Thanks Miguel

It makes sense using headphones with the same electrical characteristics, but is it important also to use the same cables (I'm not talking about the theory), is it worth going through the effort and spend the money to fit both headphones with the same cable as I would actually prefer to have two different cables for testing and comparison purposes.

Unless the cable is junk they should be close, but who knows. You would have to measure them to see how much impedence they would add. I would venture to say that it would be negligable specially in the distance you would be using (10 feet or less, right?).
 
Graham is the technical guy, he would have to chime in.
