Did you see the price though? Sure Monster Beats isn't a bad headphone, but for $300 they can go f*** themselves. Same goes for most of the other prices. <3 Amazon and eBay.

Good luck...I went to Guitar Center today and they were major jerks and wouldn't let me try anything.  Also, they said that you cannot return headphones!  What a joke.

Best Buy is really chill with their return policies. I needed some Shure olives to use with my RE0's, and casually borrowed them forever from some SE210's. Great experience, would buy (borrow) again. 

 

 

DOWN WITH CORPORATE MONOPOLIES.

I hate the world. I have to get the HD555 now. I don't know what they sound like. But it has to be good.

Amazon. Definitely for Sennheiser cans. I told them I never received my Sennheiser HD 555's because I didn't know the USPS man hid them in the bushes near my door and they delivered a second set for free. I eventually found my first set and having morals, I returned them back to Amazon.

 

They have a great return policy too if you can cope with going to your local post office. I live within 5 minutes from mine, so it was never a problem. I think it was 30 days..? No restocking fee or questions about opened boxes FTW. If you have seen some HD 555 unboxing video's, you should notice that you DO NOT HAVE TO DAMAGE THE BOX TO OPEN IT. You know what this means.

Hey anyone have a free pair of HD555's? 

Or, while I am at it, a free pair of HD800's and a good DAC and amp?

That's odd.  Are you sure it was delivered USPS versus UPS/Fedex?  Amazon does use the postal service but not usually for items where the price tag qualifies them for free second day shipping or items that won't easily fit in most mail boxes or for items they would want a delivery receipt.  Certainly if it was sold third-party through Amazon that would explain it ... but the chance that my postal carrier would leave a package other than my designated delivery spot (i.e. mail box or mail slot or mail room) without first obtaining a signature for it is zero.

Oh whoops, typo. It was definitely a third party through Amazon. I had GREAT shipping experiences with UPS, USPS, DHL, and Fedex. They ring the doorbell at least. However, only UPS requires signatures, the other three is less.. professional.
