Not dealers. Razordog. And if you look at everything on their site, they all say "everyday low price", even when the price is slashed through. Go check out the HD700 page.  I agree with the other guy, Hifiman is definitely having every retailer that stocks their product discount it for Black...

Actually, would that be the better investment? Or would the D5ks unamped (temporarily, give or take a month or two) be a better choice? Disregarding portability and the like, just in terms of what I'm getting.

I'm good with my TF10s for IEMs. Right now my budget is ~$500 and I can't find the D5ks for less than 400 atm, so I'll probably just go with the ESW9As and invest in the E7/E9 amps. First chance I get though, I'm definitely gonna get a hold of some D5ks. Seriously regretting missing that sale...

Thanks for the quick response! I'm guessing the D5ks would be a better all-around headphone. Do you think they'd leak more than the ESWs though? I'm going to be using them in plenty of places where it'd be bothersome if it leaked too bad and knowing how Denons usually are, I'm not sure I should...

Title says it all. This is my first major set of headphones. My only other sets so far worth noting are a pair of HD25-1 IIs and TF10s. I primarily listen to JPop, but listen often enough to Electronica, Dubstep, and Jazz, as well as the occasional rock and pop songs. The Pro 900s, from what...

Quote: How would the D5000s stack up in terms of vocals? Found a new pair for around the same price as the Pro 900s,  bass isnt as much a priority, but if they have a much more brought out midrange I'd probably prefer those    

Gonna threadjack this with the same question, different scenario. I'm looking into the same two options, but I'll be buying a fiio e7/9 combo with a macbook and a fuze as my primary sources. As is, I'm using both TF10s and HD25 1-iis. I primarily listen to Jpop, Animusic, etc in that range, as...

sorry, didnt know that there was a deals thread, nor that this actually wasnt a cheap price. still pretty new here, I actually thought this was a good deal. I'll do some more research from now on before i make a thread next time. Is there a way to delete this thread?

Letting my fellow head-fiers know, both the Monster Turbine Pro Coppers and the Triple.Fi 10s are real cheap on Amazon atm. Coppers- $223...

Huh, never even considered getting a custom reshelling. Will look into that, thanks!

Quote: Looking forward to it! Any more recommendations, anyone?

Oh, sorry, I mean the Monster Turbine High Performance. Y'know, the ones before the pros. I thought thats what they were abbreviated as here, sorry.

  Quote: Thanks for the suggestions! Which of those do you think has more color to their sound? I was considering the JH5s for a while, but I really dont have enough info on the sound in comparison to the others to make a decision.

Title says it all. I've decided to get myself a pair of customs, and I would really appreciate some recommendations. My budget is around $400 tops. I'm like the sound of my MTHPs, so anything that sounds similar (but better) takes precedence.

Yeah my original pair, which I got from Amazon around Christmas brand new, had a straight connector, but the new ones have an L jack. Its a lot roomier, I think it may be like the new model or something. It may be just me, but I think the cable is a bit shorter than the old one. Actually, yeah...
