  I saved $14k on my current car buying it <1 year used.  It still had over 3 years of factory warranty and regular maintenance.  There's really no reason to ever buy a new car unless you simply CAN'T get it used (Tesla).
 
For used headphones/amps/DAC's, with the reputation system on the classified and AWD categorizing the condition, seems like a no-brainer again.

You have still got to watch out buying a used car..take a qualified mechanic with you..some times too good to be true deals are not what they seem..might need a new chassis!

Oh agreed, which is why I got mine from a dealer.  I could have maybe saved a little more, but it was worth the peace of mind.

When you buy 'like new' you may save some money, but you forget one thing: no warranty (unless specifically stated). Those Amazon warehouse deals have no warranty.

True, but they do have a return policy, if you have any initial defects that you notice.  Down the road though, you may be out of luck, like you mention.

I agree, I sent moon audio a message over twitter saying that with no reply..you could get the hd650 for the price of the hd558 and the cable combined!!

Hi

How good are the HD518 for gaming? are the HD 558/598 significantly better for gaming?
Also How do the HD518 compare to k240 & dt990 for gaming?
Thanks

I would go for the HD558 or AD700x for gaming. both have a large soundstage and both are pretty comfy.
if you are running low on money you could grab Superlux HD EVO.

I am running a little low on money
So the superlux HD evo are better than the HD518 for gaming?
I thought the HD518 would be closer to the HD558/598 as they share the same driver

Hi,
I just ordered a new gaming pc with Asus Xonar DGX sound card.
As I'm going to play first person shooters most of the time, I want to buy the Audio-Technica AD700x.
Is the Asus Xonar DGX sound card a good configuration for this headphone or can you recommend a better one?
 
Thanks and greeting from Germany!

You can output dolby headphone through s/pdif and connect external dac+amp for even better sound, but the card alone is great.
