Unordered Merchandise

If you receive merchandise you didn’t order, federal law says you can consider it a gift. You can’t be forced to pay for the item or return it.
If you decide to keep the merchandise, you may want to send the seller a letter stating your intention, even though you’re not legally obligated to do so. Your letter may discourage the seller from sending you repeated bills, or it may clear up an error. It’s a good idea to send the letter by certified mail and keep the return receipt and a copy of the letter. These records will help you establish later, if necessary, that you didn’t order the merchandise.
Two types of merchandise may be sent legally without your consent: free samples that are clearly marked as such; and merchandise mailed by charities asking for contributions. In either case, you may keep the shipments.

Not the same case at all. That law is to protect consumers from scammers. In this case, it's a mistaken order, but an order was made.

Ummm, wow. That's more draconian than I thought it would be. I'd still feel wrong keeping them, however.

Except he did order the merchandise - just the wrong merchandise was sent.  In that case - the shipment is not unsolicitied or technically onordered
 
lol yourself

That is NOT what the law says. That is if he didn't order anything, but he did so this is technically he recieved the wrong item not unordered merchandise. You need to brush up on your law.

I knew i was right...  The OP has every right to those headphones AND not only that, Headfi STILL owes him the original pair that he ordered.

I can't believe how many people have problems comprehending the english language when they are from english speaking countries.

Well that's all the explanation needed.

I didn't claim to have any knowledge on the matter. I feel you might have misread my posts.

Maybe Fang should turn this into a great PR moment, replace the headphone with one above his current order perhaps a HE500 or give him the HE6.
