Tempted to pull the trigger, however I don't need a set of portable headphones and I feel that my RP-21s are more than enough to satisfy my listening needs. Plus my wife will kill me!!!

With a better headband too, I just ordered.

 

[uraflit]

well thanks to you guys i just ordered a pair (*crosses fingers*)

you guys are worse than slickdeals at getting me to use my money =P



EDIT: oh, and thanks to the OP and the original poster of this deal too

 

[TheNew007]

both stores have extremely low scores on resellerratings (buy.com especially.) since only twister allows international shipping, has anyone dealt with them before?

 

[uraflit]

i've bought stuff off buy.com before... and i have gotten my stuff in one piece. plus, i think it is a pretty big company, so they should be able to deliver the goods i hope.

 

[greydragon]

I'm down for one. Thanks for the heads up!
The only Sennheiser I have is the old HD497, and they sound pretty good. If anything, I have a good friend that might like it as a gift... or as a 'good buy' : D

 

[kamal007]

buy.com is an ok site. make sure you pay via credit card in case anything happens.

i probably will have to pass, too many headphones right now and no time for a supraaural...

the tempation is killing me

I'm not familiar with Buy.com
Is there something fishy about this site?

yes, but if you combined shipping with someone, it's only an extra $10 for to ship 2!

Chances are most people are fine with Buy.com transactions. They get the job done, and right now they're offering a great price.

Most of the people who post on ResellerRatings are people who had bad experiences, and with the sales volume that Buy.com has, they're bound to have a lot of unhappy customers. But there's also a ton more satisfied customers who just don't bother to post their experiences on ResellerRatings, BizRate, etc.

I was not aware of any headband upgrade. Can you or someone else elaborate what's different about the headband?

 

[jamess71]

Would these headphones be an upgrade to grado sr-80's or denon d1000's ?

For this price I'm tempted to give them a try.

When I searched for HD25 the first one says $199 sold out the cheaper one says $104 but in stock? Looks like there is some mistake in buy.com's database somewhere. It is the same model isn't it? The list price for the cheaper one says $179, I thought the list price for the HD25-1 II was $259?

dunno, but the twister group are honouring the price

i'm in communication with them now to process my order

 

[musicmaker]

Mfg Part#: HD25-1 II is what it states under additional info tab of the hps I ordered. Now if they've put incorrect info and they send me a SP instead, I'll be sending it back obviously. I called them and they said it is the HD25-1 II so I went by what I was told. There's just no way to verify beyond that.
