Oh wicked, now I feel special for being on the end of the head-fi wave that decimated that sale price.

Sorry for anyone else who was on the fence however,

Waking up to find something 40 dollars more than it was last night can not be fun when you were just taking time to think about the purchase.

Isn't there a Canadian Amazon?

There is a Canadian Amazon but they only sells books, CD, DVD and software.

For those complaining that they don't ship internationally, do you know of the "Electronics Available for International Shipping" section at Amazon?

Amazon.com: Electronics Available for International Shipping

If anyone changed their minds and wants to sell me a pair of DT880s....

I think the best way to buy a pair of headphones you are set on is to stay away from Head Fi and the internet all together because you are BOUND to find some great deal like this and have a hard time deciding.

Well, help me out here...
I was going to buy my Senn 595s today but there was a paycheck problem at work so I couldn't get them and now I saw this...Now I can't decide!
I've never heard Beyers, but I have heard Sennheiser. I like the Sennheiser sound, but I don't really have anything to compare it to since this will be my first pair of REAL headphones (see sig for current pair).
What is a good amp, sub $200 that would work good for those Beyers? Will those Beyers even sound remotely decent straight from sources like an iPod video, a laptop, a computer, etc?

Yes. I've driven them from my laptop's crudjack and enjoyed them very much. It's not ideal of course..
The dt880's weren't mines, but I used to steal them from my brother when I went home for the summers. It sounded wonderful from the mini3 I built him.

 

[Quake120]

Are the Beyers so much better (than a 595 I mean) that even a novice like myself would immediately be able to tell or is it subtly different like in the very high and very lows?
k, coming from Triports, I should be blown away by both, right?
