HELP:Able Planet NC1000CH Groupon... Good deal?

Hello all and thanks in advance for answering this question. My Aiaiai TMA-1's just broke (my fault, no warranty will cover this) and I am dying with my iphone buds. Anyway, I got my daily groupon email and they are selling Able Planet NC1000CH's for $69 -- normally I would never drop $300 on these, but $69 is not bad especially if they are ultimately temporary. Please let me know if I should pull the trigger on these or just fork over the dough on another high end pair of cans?

 

Thanks

Heya,

 

For $69, why not? They're not my cup of tea, but I'd be willing to try them at least.

 

Otherwise, get the headphone you've always wanted. Now's the time.

 

Very best,

I have a few pairs.

The sound signature: highest treble rolls off, lower treble sparks/vocal bumps, upper bass bumps, lowest bass is not there, --  very pleasant sound, actually. Noise cancellation is lesser than Bose, still very good. I'd put them around $150. Basically it sounds like a lesser version of Bose Quiet Comfort 2.

Caution - Their different models have similar name. They even have two 500 models, confusing. Mak sure you actually get a bargain.
