I doubt it, mine will be at least reterminated and possible fully recabled likely before he even gets his pair

They sure don't make it easy though, lots of little parts to remove.... http://www.akg.com/mediadatabase/psf...d5815555d1.pdf

Holy smokes that's a nice price... I can be there in 15 minutes at lunch so if I ordered, I'd save shipping costs/waiting...

lol.

I always stay away from pricey headphones that are hardwired, because I recable everything I get my grubby little hands on.


sounds like a race on who can mod their akgs first!

They are an AKG authorized dealer, so the headphones should be ok.

I just had a look at the B&H site and they don't differentiate between "USA" and "Imported" the way they do with the photo gear so that's probably correct.

Though it might be worthwhile for someone to verify the US warranty and report back... I won't volunteer because I've already got my order placed with a Head-Fi sponsor.
