For any of you looking to buy the D5000s there is a great deal at electronicsexpo.com, get the D5000 and put in the coupon "grandslam", and you'll get a price of ~388.00 without shipping. I would have taken this up but I already got my trusting D7ks

Hope someone finds this useful.
 
PS: Another deal on Amazon, a low price of 414$!

Good deal! 
 
Why does it say that the regular price is $899 though?
 
It costs $414 on Amazon right now and ships for free with Super Saving Shipping, whatever that is.

You have to apply the code on the check out I believe, my last D5000 was through amazon but I got it for 450 bucks which isnt that bad but this expo deal is really good if anyone wants to try out the Denon sound.

Yeap,
 
$414 on Amazon, brand new, and ships 2 day with prime. This is the better deal.
 
Very best,

Yea yea, I did it and it said $388 just like you said, but have the D5000 ever cost $900? Or are they just saying that to make their prices look better?

I think Expo add a few hundred bucks for some reason hahaha, and yes I would also do the Amazon deal because of Prime and the easy return policy but so far the Amazon price for D5ks always lingered around $440-480, Its interesting it is so low now to be honest, but maybe because they are getting discontinued? EExpo is more of a hassle to deal with, and you have to pay taxes if you're ordering from NJ and other states in the East coast.

Nah,
 
I think MSRP is $699. Expo probably throws the "original price" up through the roof to make it look like you're getting an amazing, too good to be true, deal.
 
Very best,

Wow, the price just keeps dropping on Amazon.  I bought these 5 days ago for $440

I feel you man, I hate when that happens you never know when to pull the trigger at the best deal possible unless you're an insider.

I just emailed Amazon asking if there was anything they could do, despite not having a post-purchase pricematching policy.  Received a response within 3 minutest that they'd refund the difference!  This is why I buy everything from Amazon.

 

[davidgotsa]

Wow! Good service.

Looking for some opinions and reasoning. Having a Grado SR225i and a Senn HD650, would it be worth getting the D5000 so I've got 3 different "flavors" of cans or should I look at rounding out a Trio with a planar or ortho headphone? 
 
Definitely know that certain cans favor certain types of music and I do listen to a lot of different things, except Country. 

 
Thanks!

I've got the HD650's and the D5000's, and I like having them both, I think they complement each other well depending on the music I listen to.  Plus, I like having an open (HD650) and closed (D5000) headphone.

The D5000 would be a nice fit that is between the Grado and Sennheiser. Then again, you might end up just listening to the D5000 if you like the cross between the two worlds. I would also suggest that you look at the Hifiman HE-400 at this price range too though unless you just want a closed headphone.
 
Very best,
