Really bummed that the Moon Audio deal doesn't apply to HiFiMan products. That would have been a great deal.

Are the V-moda Crossfades good at $74.99?

I know nothing about them but have heard of them... not exactly sure what their sound signature is though. What are they usually priced?

Tyll Hertsens mentioned the Crossfade LPs briefly in this article: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/celebrity-headphone-deathmatch-v-moda
They look like a very good deal at $75, albeit not my cup of tea.

Yes it is a legitmate deal.  I own the Crossfade LPs and also gave a pair of them for a gift about two months ago.  I paid $160 for the Phantom Chrome color and $140 for the White Pearl color on Amazon (prices normally vary from about $100 to $180 based on color choice).  So it is a significant discount.
 
As far as the headphones go, the style, durability, portability, and accessories are about as top notch as it goes and that's the only reason I don't regret buying the headphones.  However, the sound qulaity is "V-shaped" with overpowering bass, so much as it can sound muffled and definitely drown out the mids and vocals.  I typically only use these headphones for travel or sometimes for listening to techno or rap music for these reasons.  They do sound decent when I use an equalizer and turn the bass down but that sometimes is a non-option and I almost always decide to listen to my other, more expensive and refined headphones unless I'm traveling.  The person I gave them to as a gift absolutely loves them because she is a non-audiophile, who mainly listens to house music, who didn't own another set of a nice cans, and is impressed with how stylish they look.
 
Overall, I feel like they are similar to the Dr. Dre Beats (which I don't own but have listened to friends' sets many times) but with far superior build-quality and a much better price.  Probably worth the $75 price tag just on style points alone but aren't going to please someone who really wants a good pair of headphones to listen to mid-range driven music.

Has anyone managed to find $300 Senn HD650's anywhere other than the sennheiser website (which is no longer accepting the promo code posted by the OP)?

 

[dooshn]

i second that ^^^

 

[bb62610]

Brainwavz hm3 $23.00 on Amazon.

 

[kamikazi]

looking for 650 answer also

 

[Sniping]

No, I haven't seen the 650's for ~$300 in a while, and Sennheiser started to regulate the prices and are generally forcing you to pay higher prices.
