Amazon couldnt give me a refund for the deal since I purchased mine earlier this month. They want me to return it for a refund and purchase a new one...

most retail stores have a 1 to 2-week grace period for an item that goes on sale, if you bought it 1 to 2 weeks prior to the sale (depending on the store & their policy) they will refund you the difference in price. I guess for Amazon, you had to have contacted them while the sale price was still being offered. I assume it is because they do variable pricing and the price of items are constantly going up and down depending on various factors.

That sucks. At least you have a pair of X1's. Who knows how long they are going to be out of stock for @ Amazon. Positive thinking.

Omgomgomg.. so i sent amazon an email about my situation.. look at what i received...

Thanks for contacting us about the recent price change on Philips Fidelio X1/28 Over-Ear Headphones. I'll be happy to help you.

I recognize you have a choice of retailers and appreciate that you prefer to order from us.

Since the price of the item has changed within seven days of the delivery of the order, I've issued a refund for the price difference in the amount of $109.50. You should see the refund in the next 2-3 business days.

So what i learned today is that the amazon customer service email is more reliable.. cheers ! Mind you, i emailed them 10hrs after the lightning deal..topnotch customer service on the email side...

Looks like they have offered another Philips model to replace the X1. Don't know anything about these, but they claim to be the same price drop as the X1's - retail $299.99, on sale for 50% off, $149.99. 
 

Due to the high demand the Philips Fidelio X1/28 Premium headphones have sold out but we have another great deal for you today. These headphones are virtually indestructible. Literally. Able to withstand up to 1.5 tons of static force, the CRASH were designed by O'Neill in partnership with Philips.

Glad you got it, but just FYI - 7 days is their policy for doing price adjustment. If you have others that drop within 7 days, be sure to call (or in your case, email) and get the price difference.

i told them that they told me way way back that there was a policy that if i bought an item within 7 days, they can credit me the amount or difference whenever a price change or a new deal occurs. Thats it haha

This is how I do it, but I think those deal of the day or lightning deals are exempt from this since they're not price drop

 

[easyyskankin]

Did you state that it was a lightning deal?
They told me they can't since it's a temporary deal. Then they would ask me for a link with the price

 

[retiredat21]

Nope. I just said there was a deal )

Damn. I spent $249 2 weeks ago. GRRRRR.
