I got my Beyer T 5 p new for $899 on buysonic, and I would have gotten the Fostex TH-900 for $1010 on headphones.com, using their "20% off if you sign up for our newsletter" coupon. Not sure what the Alpha Dogs, listed at $999, discount to, but these were both heavily discounted, new, from their list price.

the alpha dog prime is $999, i'm talking of the first alpha, and i'd probably get one used if i went that way

So guys, I just added a Sennheiser to my inventory again. I've had two really lousy experiences with Senns, the 518 and the Amperiors, and one really good experience, the HD800. A buddy sent me a link to a great deal on the HD700s, so I pulled the trigger. 
 
I'm telling you guys about this because one of the reasons Im buying them is because more than one review stated similar characteristics to the Grado RS-1, and how the 700 is an appealing model for those who like Grado headphones....which I obviously do. 
 
Just curious, do any of you guys have this headphone? And do you find the comment(s) about Grado fans liking it to be legit?

well, the "listening station is in the den, with the big tv, and it has a decent little speaker system hooked up to it (boston acoustics 2.1) and it gets loud 
and sometimes i want to hear some music at the same time the wife watches tv, so, i need some isolation
not sure what i'm interested in yet, i love the alpha dog, but not sure about spending that much, so i'm looking
and i'm thinking i'll get another grado of course, just a cheaper model, maybe an 80i or e, or a 225 if i can find a good deal

 
I had the same problem, got rid of the wife, problem solved

I'm eager to hear them...I really liked the HD800, just not enough to justify buying them while already having the T1. (They sounded more alike than different to me.)

Maybe divorced would be a better term than "got rid of the wife".
 
Just sayin'.

lol, my divorce was expensive, but totally worth it, to this day, I can't attend a wedding ceremony, without feeling the urge to bust out laughing

I hate to say it, but I've become really cynical, as well, Stacker. I'm much happier single...won't ever go down that road again.

You should be able to find an 80i/225i at a good price, I see them quite often on eBay.
 
 

  In just a few weeks I may have a Mad Ear+HD for sale, that would pair up fantastic with these!
Stay tuned.

Sounds like something great and long awaited is coming your way!!!

I'm a car guy, and I used to own Cadillacs, back when they were still all out luxury cars, and didn't try to be Corvettes at the same time. Anyway, my wife once said to me that she thought that if I was forced to make a choice, I'd choose my Cadillac over her, without hesitation, what a silly question.

 
Oh!, and I bought a brand new pair of RS1 yesterday, yay!

Yes, bought a pair last week and, so far, loving it. I've posted a number times in the 700 thread with my impressions. I don't think it sounds like a Grado (I have an RS2i), but that's just me.
 
Enjoy your new cans!

Congratulations!
I believe that @HPiper owns the HD-700's…maybe he can chime in?

Congratulations!
Which series RS1 did you buy?
