Alright, so I can't be the only one who seriously wants M50's, but live in Canada and don't want to shell out $200 CAN.
At Long & McQuade they are on sale for $159 PLUS an included $20 Long & McQuade gift card. So you are basically paying $139 for them. For those who don't know, Long & McQuade is THE music store chain in Canada, with 42 locations in Canada. While they primarily sell guitars, all instruments are sold there, along with DJ gear and headphones.
 
Note: The M50's are the straight wire version.

but atm the M50s have undergone a price hike on the usual US stores, and probably won't come back down till the holidays. I ordered mine from the sound professionals for $122 shipped, but they are stuck in the mail system thanks to Canada Post
 
Edit: free shipping only if your order is 200 before tax

Doesn't everywhere deliver to Canada?
 
Even JR says they don't but then does it on a regular basis.

You'd think, but B&H won't let you ship to Canada when you get to the checkout phase, claiming "manufacturer restrictions" on export =/
 
Everywhere else uses UPS or Fedex, both of which are more expensive shipping options, but will add up to $50 more in hidden brokerage fees once it crosses the border. Only places that ship via USPS are the best deal, since USPS is usually cheap, and over here we get (inconsistently) taxed + $5 Canada post brokerage. USPS isn't accepting mail to Canada for the last week though, due to a postal strike over here.
 
The ideal solution for cross-border shipping would be to have a US friend that travels to Canada often

That sucks. Why don't you live in the states? I'm kidding
 
There isn't a Canadian Amazon or big reseller for canada?

 

[jreme]

Amazon.ca has a pretty small selection compared to the American big brother.

All the hypes are over ! They made enough profit from $159.00 . Now, you can have them for around $109.00 free ship.
 
Hype is good for the economy.

 

[fabio-fi]

Do they ship internationally? 

 

[jreme]

I'm pretty sure the 109 free shipping isnt to Canada, from wherever you are talking about

 

[M1K3Z0R]

Probably from http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATH-M50 , which is where I ordered mine from. Free shipping to the US if your order is $169+ (before rebate)

Thanks to the Tom Lee poster!  Just picked up a pair of M50s...
 
Now I just have to put them up against my Aviators & Crossfade LP and decide which of the three sounds better.
