I find that the Beyers are great for metal and hard rock where an extra bit of bottom end is almost mandatory. Particularly on older metal albums that tend to sound thin (old Dio albums, etc.) Stuff like Grados gets recommended alot for metal, but the lower end stuff (SR60, SR80) doesn't have near enough low end to make metal really kick..

I just bought them today and I wasn't quite so lucky at my Guitar Center

The manager told me he was unable to pricematch (I brought in a printout from another site that had it for $160, but it was out of stock, haha oops), but he was a pretty cool guy and wanted to help out so he said what I can do is give you $40 in accessories if there is something you need. I didn't really need anything, but I just went ahead and got 3x 50 packs of CDRs along with the headphones for the regular price of $199. Gonna start testing them out in a bit.

How is it that you people got it for cheaper at guitar center? I got shot down as well. They offered me accessories, but I declined. I really did not want to pay 200 dollars for a pair of headphones.

If you keep coming here you will want to

I paid just about that price for my SR225s.

Oi, the Darth Beyers make my head hurt...

They sound good... but whoa. Skull-crushing bass.

Yeah, I figured $199.99 is still a good price for them (the 250ohm ones are $198 after 10% discount) and you can exchange it if something is wrong with them with no wait time or shipping expense. Plus you get the credit on top of it. I was seriously contemplating putting the $40 towards a E-mu 0404 (they had 'em for $99.99), but I just ordered got the AV-710 so I told myself I don't need to be spending any more right now, haha.

Anyways, first impressions of the headphones.... BASS, haha. Big improvement over my MDR-V900s in every category (and so much lighter and comfortable). I'm a newbie and I still don't know the proper terms to describe everything (and really have nothing worth comparing it to anyways), but I think these are a great cans to start off with

I'm sure I'll pass the $200 mark soon enough. I was just speaking about spending 200 for the dt770 specifically. I was just P.O.'ed about the Guitar Center Thing because the impression I got was all you had to do was ask and they would bring down the price. But apparently this was not the case for me and a few others. I was just wondering why that was?

I am looking to pick a pair of these up as a Christmas gift... sure am glad I found this thread.

Has anyone found an online price for these? The only place I found that was close was: http://www.asenashop.com/sfitem/id-6893/pr-0 - and they're sold out it seems, and I've never heard of them, nor do I know if they are an "authorized" dealer.

I guess what worries me is walking into Guitar Center and they want to see a print out of a web site with a low price that has it in stock. Though I know a few in here have said, "I read it online," and haven't been hassled about it, but that certainly won't work for everybody.

I will be going to the Cherry Hill store in South Jersey.

I have never found any online.

Now Guitar Center says they have a "hard minimum" and can't go below $199, the computer won't let them do it even if they want to. The guy wanted to give me the deal but couldn't.

Man, that really sucks. The local Guitar Center here in Tennessee sold me my pair for only $120. I guess someone in corporate decided that they were losing too much money on these babies, or weren't making enough per sale, or some crap like that.

A lot of people picked a pair up, though. You might keep an eye on the for sale forum here for good deals.

That's Ok I really shouldn't be spending that kind of money on headphones anyway.
