I don't know. There is no wiring in the headband, right (since it's dual entry)? If Sennheiser has the whole replacement headband and everything else works, it may be worth it. The guy doesn't have too much feedback though and the description is sloppily written.

Haha! I had figured you had already messaged the seller :)

 

 

The HD650 recently went up in the repair cost. It's a flat repair fee of $160 + tax + shipping. I believe purchasing the parts separate would end up costing more ($120 for the headband + shipping, I think $60 for the mesh cover). Those are really beat up, and with that much work involved, you would probably be better off getting a used pair in good condition. Those are really beat up and not well cared for at all.

$120 for a headband? That's ridiculous. Lol, yeah I knew that price was too good to be true. Sloppily written description and 11 feedback, eeh. Red flags all over.

Trashed headphones (or almost anything else) are not a good buy in my book.  Still each to their own.

More than the headband, due to the very poor condition, I would be worried other parts may be damaged / broken as well. Could be a 'lemon' for a headphone where you have to replace a driver later because the wiring got loose, or something like that.

As for the AD700 thing, it's suspicious that it was a mistake considering that they listed the same deal twice. But I racked up positive feedback for buying them, and got refunded, so I'm not too mad about it. Plus, I'm too preoccupied listening to my new Senns

And THAT is the reasonable and rational response to the error :)

Amazon gold box deal, they are regularly $120, gold box until 9am eastern time for $85

Chances are they suck, but I do think they look nice (just not $85 decoration nice, I pass).

Sennheiser hd 598 is 130 gbp on amazon.co.uk

You'd be surprized how often people leave feedback on Amazon. I've sold over 70 items, and have been very generous when someone has contacted me with a request or issue, yet only five people left me feedback.. The hoops you need to jump through, for amazon

I sell on Amazon as well so I know what you mean. I've sold somewhat over 100 items but the difference is that I send out feedback requests, making sure the order went well. I've had 31 people leave me feedback, with only my first sale being negatively reviewed (because the guy didn't read the description). I prefer Amazon over Ebay though, I know their system better and Ebay feels sketchier. Amazon has unbeatable customer service.

How do you send out feedback requests? Does Amazon have that feature built in or anything?

If you go to messages and select the type of e-mail you want to send, there's a section for feedback. Essentially, I tell them that I hope they got their item, tell me if you have any problems, thanks for ordering, and here's the link to the feedback page. Overwhelmingly, they give better reviews because the buyers love getting feedback, ex: I'll let them know if there's something weird showing up in the tracking info, like it wasn't delivered on time, etc.

Thanks. I never even knew that was there! Amazon sure doesn't make it easy.

Looks like you can get $20 off of $150 with code TWEET20 Not sure if it's stackable....

There are programs that automate eBay listings.  I felt the same way as you when I tried to buy bass guitar that was typo-priced.  It also being on eBay for the price made me think it wasn't, but my order was cancelled, and the mistake was verified by the vendor.

Nice avatar!

Anyone looking to buy from Hello Music should read their policies before placing an order.  They handle the warranty on non-auth items, and they don't ship immediately.  That said, I've received excellent post-sale service from them.
