I'd be in for this kind of transaction! For a pair of those DT770 and pair of cheap earphones for a friend of mine.

I'd prefer some senior head-fier

Now they're down to $113.77. Should be free by Christmas.

I just bought another set of cans on Amazon, and have been seeing their prices go both up and down, on the same cans, almost daily(!) -- I have been watching every day this past week, and the can of my choice was down, then way up, then down 2 more increments, then down enough today to push my *buy* button. I bet tomorrow they are back up again, but I already got my good price, so it doesn't matter where the price goes now -- I am happy with what I paid.
They might be playing with prices for some market research.
If you are a fence-sitter on one of the cans that has a currently-low price, then go for it!
I did.

I just saw that. Crap. That's almost 20 below what I spent a short while ago.

Are these the 80 ohm version?

No, 250 ohm (2005 premiumline consumer edtion).

Dagnabit!!

I almost was able to resist. But it was too good to pass up. Don't know when they'll be this cheap again. Will come in handy for work.

With the Bill Me Later coupon I got my pair for $103.77. Can't beat that with a stick. Thanks ya'all.

250 ohm means I can't use them directly out of my H120, right?

Me too... like I needed these!

I've kind of missed my DT770's in recent years. They were always a great reference point for other bass monster cans. So I'm sure I'll use these from time to time when trying to give my opinion about something else. Not the best reason to buy something, but what the heck.

It's the same reason I still have a pair of HD600/Cardas, just for reference and also to go back to a "tried and true" sound from time to time. But of course, my original pair of DT770 were the pre-2005 Pro version, so perhaps they won't be the same afterall.

I saw this the other day and got pretty excited. I think this'll be my introductory headphones (upgrading from my ksc70s). I was going to pair them with the Little Dot MK I+ portable amp; these being my first purchases, can anyone give any feedback on if these would match up? Thanks in advance :]

 

[Andrew_WOT]

Damn, I just couldn't resist that!

From what I've read they sound very different from older Pro version, rather bass shy and better mids.

I'm checking with Amazon to see if they still do "price protection". Only $6 for me, but still...

 

[synaesthetic]

amazon would have to pay me to take their DT770s.

If it's within 30 days, they'll refund you the difference. I was able to do that with the DT 880's they had on sale a couple of months back.
