So, is it too late for me, guys? I'm not seeing the newsletter on the website.

Sadly it's done.
 
Also, if anyone wants to attempt the DT880CB, which I thought was pretty dang good at making them sound more engaging and less "Beyer-y," there are pads for $16: http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-EDT770VB-Headphone-Pads-Black/dp/B007VCKA64

Didn't believe the free Velodynes were for real, but did it anyway, seems it is. See how they are-a free pair of crappy headphones are still crappy headphones, but I suppose I'd find some use for them, maybe a gift...

I chose the black vFree. Thanks to Velodyne for the awesome deal! Also, thanks to Ianerhard13 for posting this! I've been looking at Bluetooth phones so this is great timing.

Ha! Great tip and great for you guys who went for it.
 
I had too much on my plate work wise and this deal struck me as too good to be true, so I passed on these. But I hope you guys score on these.
 
Are these phones any good? Please let us know.

Wow, I seriously didn't think they would go through with this. I almost missed the email in the promo inbox.
 
Went with the vFree in White. I don't actually have a bluetooth pair of phones. I would have gone for the in-ears if they weren't in pink.
 
I actually signed up using two emails because I thought my first one didn't go through. So I can technically fill out two surveys and get two pairs...but I probably shouldn't.

I really wish there had been a different color for the in ears, but for the value I probably would have gotten the on ears anyways. I went for the silver vFrees, my hd428 isn't great for throwing in my backpack at school (snapped both cups sideways already, not sure if they can survive it again), but not too amazed by my Apple EarPods, so these should do well replacing them.

Be careful throwing around these, though.  Amazon reviewers repeatedly mention cheap build quality. I wonder what kind of warranty protection we will get on free headphones, too.
