Costco used to be ultimate refund king.
I bought a monitor from there and returned it in 15 months - they refunded it in full. - and bought a bigger, better monitor for cheaper somewhere else.

My uncle bought a plasma TV from there and returned it in 19 months...

It made me wonder if they were ever going to sell cars...

Sorry for getting off topic, I'll behave now

The retailer is german and they have a policy of their own. anyways, im not asking for reimbursement but exchange for other heaphones like HD650 or DT990 '05 250 ohms version, i don't know yet.

Stores usually offers better service when the customer buys the more expensive stuff, i know its unfair , but its the way our system works.

I had to pay $280+ for my early serial number version. That's a lot more than current prices, but I got all that extra enjoyment.

Bought mine brand new from TTVJ ...

 

[ktheone]

I just bought mine brand spanking new from another head-fier
After reading all the threads about those 'phones I had been itching for them for about two months and finally decided to get a pair. I do hope they live up to the expectations, however, I think I will need to do a lot of burn-in before they show their true capabilities. 800+ hours is a lot, but if it matures like fine wine who cares

Cheers,
Frederik

I bought mine new. I did consider used given the long breakin period

I bought my 701s new. I would have bought them used but none were for sale at that time.

Bought em new about a year ago

Obviously besides listening to them, the next-best part of the AKGs is opening the box. Very creative design.

I traded for a used pair, and later sold them used.

True. A new pair lets the owner carefully monitor the performance of the headphones through break in. With the K701, this transition (i.e. between pre- and post-break in) is quite remarkable and pleasantly surprising..
