Oh man....i am seriously thinkinga bout the xba-3.  I've always wanted a triple armature IEMs...but I can't say that Ive ever been able to afford one.  I wonder how these sound compared to Klipsch x10?

Its definitely the better of all XBA models. Not too overpowering bass, makes these an almost loveable IEM.

I wonder if they are they are competitive as a triple armature vs say like the Shure SE535s or westones or TF10s.  There seems to be very limited reviews since they are newer.  Only comparison ive seen are to TF10s, and I think they compare favorably.  I was really hoping to get TF10s for $100 on Black Friday, but it never happened so I pulled the trigger on the klipsch x10.  The x10 are my first BA IEMs and I love them so far...just wondering if the triple drivers are much better

I purchased refurbed Senn RS180s from dakmart at a large discount to the new price, and they arrived in perfect condition, and have given great service for all my casual listening (TV, background music, etc).  By the way, they are excellent for rock music - my guess is that the included amp is at least as good as a cmoy and possible a little better.

Probably not necessarily the best headphones you can get for $50 (I highly recommend the Beyer DT 235 at that price) but this is about as low of a price as you'll find for these unless you get them refurbished--

Sennheiser HD 428 for $49.95 with free shipping at Newegg:

After going back up to $960 for a good portion of the day, the T1 dropped back down to $927 on Amazon. Just bit on one with the 10% off Amazon coupon code (though that basically just offset the tax here in CA). There are apparently 6 more in stock.

Where the bloody hell is my 10% off code. >:@@ I've probably spent over $1000 on amazon the past 4 months and I haven't gotten one yet. So upset.

Yeah, I didn't receive one directly from them either but someone on SlickDeals was generous enough to offer me theirs. Couldn't hurt to ask over there.

FWIW, mine came from someone else and while my order has yet to ship, I made it through checkout with no problems.

(And lurkers I will not send to someone who registers today just to PM me. Sorry)

wow you have the highest ive seen. From SD people are saything anywhere between 100-300 minimum.

I could certainly use a 10% code...still waitin for amazon to send me one. But I am waiting for the HD 650 to drop to $410 again for the purchase (so it would be under that $500)

I have bad luck I guess.  Maybe I should just buy that XBA-3 from Groupon afterall :P

Damn! And to think I was just about to take you up on that and get the HD650 and LYR. Oh well!

p.s. Doc, you're a class act for offering that.
