Wow!! If that is true, then it's quite amazing deal! I'm seriouly considering to get them from Newegg - especially so since their prices on ebay are averaging $80+ (used).
In fact I was all set to buy them from ebay until I saw THIS

Is it me or are PXC250 (PX250) are the most underrated portable headphones? I know that a few most respected gurus of these forums absolutely love them, prefer them over the likes of Grado SR60 and Sony D66 Eggos,rate them "leagues above PX100/200"...

Aren't the PXC250's just PX200's with ANR (Active Noise Reduction)?

There isn't one, I don't know what he's talking about.

PXC250 offer crystal highs, great detail and punchy tight bass - that's plenty enough differences

I'm searching for a pair right this moment myself, so i base my opinions on Duncan's (mod of this forum and he even used them in his famous PCDPs review), Bangraman's and a few others... just do a search on px250, pxc250

That's pretty much how I'd describe my PX200.

 

[Ubijza]

Yes, but you're not "Duncan"

Do not mean to be rude! It's all relative, you see,and he is known to have experienced A LOT of audio equipment and hence able to relate to a lot more/better then you.

PXC250 have listed impedence of 300ohms

? Is that true? Maybe thats starting to explain why they work as well as they do with their magic box switched ON?

 

[SunByrne]

Yes, they are 300 ohm cans. That's slightly misleading since the ANR circuitry seems to amp them a little, but nonetheless, they are indeed hard to drive to high volume levels with a portable like an iPod. They sound pretty good with a Xin Supermicro, though...

Oh, hey, 500th post. Yay for me.

I'm no guru, but I do like them a lot -- much more than PX100/200. Compared to SR60, I'm not sure, but perhaps; less of the "fun" sound, but the highs go up a little further and seem clearer. I agree they're underrated.

FWIW I've seen refurbished PXC250's at or near the $70 price at both Amazon and eCost at various times. Not sure if either has it on special now, though.

Thank's just ordered for $80.
