Deal Alert : Panasonic RP-HJE900-K $ 74,99 @ jr.com - Page 4

It's kind of hard to pick a single best because they're all really good in different ways.  You'll be hard pressed to find a single pair of IEMs that suit all your needs exactly.  The HJE900s can be good for classical if you EQ it the right way.  If I HAD to pick one overall out of all those I would go with the Silver Bullets.  They're a great deal and you can find them from a reputable seller on ebay for $70 shipped.  Bugden is $67 but they are sold out.

but it's good that you say they'll go back down " class="bbcode_smiley" height="1" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies//smily_headphones1.gif" title="" width="1" /> any idea when? and hopefully it goes even farther :P!

mmm i think im going to stick with the HJE900s though, for now at least. Im lookin for something that will satisfy my bass needs for orchestral works and hip hop. + i hear the built quality is amzing with these things and thats a huge bonus for me since i tend to abuse equipment. +with my combined listening of rock and hip hop, which would be more than 60 percent, i think the 900s are the way to go.... if i don't like them, i'll just sell them at the price i got them :P hopefully 74.99.

Any chance they will reduce the price to below $80 in the near future?

I believe this sale is the only thing preventing me from purchasing RE-ZEROs or Klipsch Custom 3s.

Hmm. Tough luck.

yeah same here.....

It's only $15 difference...you can walt all you want but it's highly unlikely to go down again and it already is a good deal at under $100. Also the sale where these became $75 was due to a deal of the day so that won't be happening again anytime soon. The other was a week only sale.

do you think they could go even lower than 74.99 soon? and if i don't like these, how much do you think i could resell these for?

Dream on.  If they go lower I will be forced to buy another pair just because that would be ridiculously cheap.

haha.... how do thse HJE900s compare to say the monster turbines? i see that the turbines had a recent deal? still looking under the 100 range unless they are originally like 400 and drop to 150 or something.

Never heard the non pro turbines and don't care to.  I wouldn't buy Monster w/o the Lifetime warranty myself.  I prefer my MDs to the 900s by a good margin.  I think of the 900 as a best bang/buck compromise IEM that works if they cover your preferred genres.  I also prefer my DBAs at twice the price, no question.

I agree on everything there and everything mentioned applies to me as well. I've never heard the regular turbines, had the DBA-02, heard the MD's and own the HJE900. The MD's are at a level above the HJE900 and the same is said for the DBA-02. I consider the HJE900 at the level of a RE-Zero but different signature and that level is not quite at the MD's or the DBA-02.

Also the Monster Turbines were never 400. IIRC they retailed at $150 or somewhere in that price range. The Coppers retail at $299 and the MD at $399 if I have my prices correct.

yeah i was just saying im only willing to stretch my range if there is some sorta deal where a can went from like 400-150 or soemthing like that... like the TF10 deal or something where i could resell at a huge profit.
