Best Headphone Deals - US
Best Headphone Deals - International
Had this idea based on a recent thread. The Deal threads are a mess - in many instances you have to comb through many pages of inanity to find one pertaining to a headphone you're interested in. So here's the idea: Have a thread with an open Google Doc with hundreds of headphones. the rest of the thread will have posts where you can "add" better deals than existing ones, or deals on headphones without entries. A column for Brand, Model, Best "Everyday Price", Best "Sale Price" (limited time coupons and the like.) I think it would be a good idea to have a US version and a International version. Open for editing for now - but it may have to be closed if anyone tries messing with the spreadsheet.
I'd like to keep this doc open for as long as possible - if it causes deals to start disappearing in droves then I would have to make it closed under invitation only. That's a step I'd like to not have to take. As such, deals that are below MAP for certain models - for instance Sennheiser's HD800 and various Grado models, will have PM written in it- this is to ensure that these deals don't go away and that the dealers don't get blacklisted by the manufacturers. I'm putting an arbitrary number on things: A year's membership and 100 posts to be able to get these deals via PM.
If this works out there's a couple other sheets I'd think of starting - best amp/source prices, and best prices anywhere (including Audiogon, Ebay used, HF listings, etc.)
To get things started I'll try to keep abreast of the deals threads, but at some point I'd like to have people come to the thread. Less work.
