Are you considering upgrading to the he-500's seeing as how they are $560 its only $160 more than an he-400 and from what I hear they take the best of the he 400 and the hd 650/600?

 
Yes, that's the next pair I'm going to get for sure, just waiting on the extra cash so I can buy them.

http://www.soundearphones.com/, yeah they are using gift cards to go lower than msrp. Though they are out of stock they told me in 2 weeks they will be restocked though. You can check out the deals thread you can get some pretty good deals on the hd 800's, LCD 2's ect.

 
Run don't walk...you can get a pair of he400's from this site marked down from $599 to $399!! What a deal.

The prices on there are ridiculous. I have never seen the MSRP on most of those headphones as high as that site claims...

That kind of BS marketing needs to disappear. It's blatant false advertisement. The HE-400 was never, EVER that expensive.

Like the SR80i. It's been $99 since before I even started on this hobby. What? When was it $120?

I'd much rather spend the extra buying from someone reputable like Justin at Headamp, than those who artificially raise MSRP like this. It's bad business, and an insult for audiophile who actually do their homework.

LOL, I know right but I bet some suckers see those quote unquote MSRP and think wow I'm getting a great deal.

It's pretty shameful. I guess they think that some noob will look at the "huge discount" and think that are saving money. Shameful...

It works in malls and clothing stores, right?  People need to do more research... anyway, another +1 here for Justin and Headamp!  That's where I'll be getting my next pair of headphones when the time comes.
