I was the original poster of the Focalprice.com find. To review: Here is the Link to the photos of what I received. I am convinced they are genuine. I had received a previous order of Sennheiser's from focalprice, and they too appear to be genuine, in original packaging. I have gotten...

My $20 shipped Focalprice PL-30s Arrived today! I will not get a chance for serious listening until this evening, but on a brief listen using the attached cushions, they sound very nice indeed. I am quite certain they are genuine, but here are some photos. Those of you who got them on...

I ordered the PL-30s from Focalprice just before making my original post. If they arrive as quickly as my last order I expect to have them this week (though I imagine shipping times are quite variable). I will post photos. If the folks who ordered from eBay or Great-Sounds want specific...

Your phones may have shipped. Both of my orders from Focalprice shipped within 12 hours of me making the order. Note, that they do not promise to send you shipping confirmation if your order is under $20, so if the only thing you ordered was the PL30s, they may have shipped. We have no...

RE: are they real. There are some VERY close up images of them on the site. Perhaps someone who owns them could compare. The Sennheiser's I got from them are real.

Focalprice.com is selling SoundMagic PL30s for $19.82 shipped (to the U.S.). Go to their site and search for item number CP074S I have not ordered these from them (well, I just did today, but I haven't received them yet). However, I did place an earlier order for a set of Sennheisers and...

I am in for one ticket for Katrina. #116

I will take 3 thanks.

Tuberoller, there are quite a few reviews available now on both the Prologue One and Two and nearly all of them agree with your early positive assessments. I have not seen any reviews besides your brief remarks that compare them to each other. I would be very interested in knowing how you...

BUMP for help for the ignorant new guy (me). Could someone measure the Grado options. I know I can order pads for them and they look about the right size. Any 3" in diameter? Thanks Much.

I have a set of 80s vintage Audiotechnica ATH-7s that work great but the vinyl has disintegrated off the earpads leaving just the cottony cloth backing. My guess is the vinyl may have provided a better seal and a bit more bass. I expect replacements are long discontinued, and wonder if anyone...
