I've bought today one pair of ATH-M30 since I really needed a pair of closed cans for portable and background use. Quite reasonnable at 50$ shipped.

And then, two minutes ago, I saw a post about an offer for the grado sr-60 for 54$ shipped, new ! And guess what ? The server has one more order

I really wanted to give those a try

Hum, at least at this price, I could still sell these on ebay, a pair of sr60 went as high as 75$ today. Some guys are really badly informed

Enjoy the SR-60's. They aren't amazing, and they offer absolutely NO isolation, but hey, for 54 bucks, they're still pretty damn good

00940,

actually i approve of this type of impulsive buying. May all your losses be under $50. After all, why do you think I'm trying to buy used headphones for under $100? Now if you had bought them for retail, what would you get back? Remember, I was the guy who picked up a set of Philips HP910s for $50

Three days later I sold them to Greg for $50. He's happy, so far, with them. And I'm ecstatic since he traded his DT831s for my AD10. Now if only I had gotten the AD10s for $150

It is turning even better :

They had a problem with the credit card address and the order of the ATH-m30 didn't went trough. So they called this morning. And as yesterday the webmaster made a mistake and gave free shipping for these (not planned by the salesmen), they offered me free shipping on it. So 45$ instead of 51.

Even better : I went to the website again about one hour afterwards and now these cans are 56$ and no more free shipping

So if I didn't have called yesterday, I would have lost 17$.

This isn't that impulsive since they're not mega expensive headphones.
