When I asked this question, like 50 people answered and told me to go to Northern Sound and Light, which is what I did. I paid $244.42 for them back in May.

They want $250 for them now, which still looks like a decent price for them. Shipping from Pennsylvania to Dallas where I am located is $12, same as it was when I bought.

NSL's service was excellent, if that makes any difference...and I don't see any exceptions to the returns/warranty policy for headphones.

Plus they threw in a free 100% cotton t-shirt and a sticker.

Or you can go to headroom and pay $310 plus $10 shipping for their extra-good service and forget the t-shirt and sticker. Your choice.

If their prices really were "complete rip offs" as you put it, they would've been put out of business a long time ago. They sell new-condition equipment, not used. If you're looking for a used price, you know where to look.


I don't agree with him that they are crooks, but I do understand his reasoning. Headroom's pricing reminds me of Apple's, in that is very expensive for what it is. Not so expensive that it's a scam (Though the Iphone raises doubts to this analogy), but it's a premium price vs a good deal.

Anyways, recommend you look in the Cans for sale forum here, and find a seller with some good feedback. What I did with mine and was not disappointed at all. 200-250 is a good price.
