Two listings for the Denon D7100 for under $800 on eBay:

I know the 7100 received a lot of negative rep for sounding worse than the previous D7K, but how are they for $750?

Those Beyer Tesla T5p are a pretty killer deal as well at $995

They are still on sale at TTVJ, but sale ends today, 10% off.

Sign up for alerts from camel x3. They drop occasionally and camel x3 will let you know when they do (based on the price level you set):

You could also try submitting a best offer to Razor Dog Audio:

I just got my 880 Pros today and I must say, they're even better than I thought they'd be. Wow, so much more detail than my 770/Premium/600 but with the same lush, accurate tonality and obviously much more neutral and clear. Very cool.

They're $650 on amazon, and been that way for awhile. Even at this price they are simply not worth it. Tyll at innerfidelity said they were one of the worst measuring headphones he had ever seen. Headroom says:

At the end of the day, HeadRoom is a bit disappointed (again) by new these Denon headphone designs, having been huge fans of the previous models.

 

Save your money and get a good pair of headphones in the $300 range to top it.

Yes, it's called the DT880 250 ohm. Same sound, better price.

The optimized Apple EarPods are better: far smoother overall sound, loads of deep bass with no fake bass boost, but with far smoother midrange and treble than the Ultrasone!"

 

I haven't heard the Edition 8, but I have heard the Edition 10 and found the sound downright offensive for what it costs, but man this review is harsh. At least they have a free version of the app so I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. If it makes the EarPods sound better than an HD800, I'm quitting this hobby for good.

 

Edit: *properly amped HD800, that is

Take anything that Ken Rockwell says or writes with a massive, massive mountain of salt.

Personally I take anything anyone says about headphones with a mountain of salt, at least until I've listened for myself.
