Cheapest place to buy DT880?

[30241]

Which place has the best price on a pair of DT880? I'm looking to pick up a pair.

Contribute to headfi, then order from headroom

Well, if you don't mind buying used, wait for one to show up in the For Sale/Trade Forum (or post a WTB if you're impatient).
If you have a little more to spend, or would just prefer to buy new, B&H is selling them for US $225.95 (plus ~$10 shipping). Link

Get headroom to match the B&H price.

Support a sponsor, get Headroom to match the B&H price. I think they will send it out for $240 shipped
(note: their price matching can't be combined with the HeadFi contributor discount).

but it seems like no one wants to get rid of theirs. They might be THAT good

I have the DT880, but I've always been interested in when other Head-Fi'ers sell theirs. Senns appear regularly, but DT880s are a relative rarity.

Part of the reason is that Senn is such a huge headphone name, and they sell lots of units. Another is obvious: the DT880 has a lovely sound that can even makes crappy recordings sound good. It's likely to get snapped up by the time you see it on the sell listings.

Find a good price on a new one -- preferably one that comes in the famed aluminum box. Get the straight cable.

Is there a straight wire and coiled wire version? I didn't know that. Looking at B&H's and Headroom's website, I don't see an option that let's you choose which version you can order.

 

[ReDVsion]

Well, headroom sells the straight version, and IME, the coiled cable sucks.

Try musicdiscounter.de or eBay.

Certainly not here! The dirtiest DT880 can be found here: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=139242

I think the fire this summer explains this phenomenon.

AFAIK, the older pairs have the coiled one and newer (like within 1 year) have the straight one. I'm not talking about the recently announced buyer configurable model but the older "new" version. Confusing?

I recently purchased a pair of DT880s from Headroom. Like others here I did some searching on the Net and found that B&H had the lowest price for the phones at $226 without including the shipping costs. Headroom did a price match for me at $244 with shipping included to the Phila., PA area which was a bit more than B&H's price plus shipping from New York. Headroom's sponsorship of Head-Fi and their 30-day return policy sealed the deal and I made the purchase from Headroom.
