@LCMusicLover Thanks for unraveling that mystery.
The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
Odd. When I copy paste that link, I get the simple google link.
But when I click on some of the prior links, I see the viglink redirect. Im not sure I’m happy about that. One more tracking company.

Fascinating! I copied and pasted your link, and only got the Google address. But then I remembered that I run the Ghostery extension on my Chrome browser. Ghostery is a privacy extension that blocks advertising trackers. I opened the Ghostery control panel, and indeed it is blocking VigLink on this page.
If I turn off blocking for VigLink, the link has all the same kind of crap as in your post. It is tracking information that identifies who you are and where you are going on the web. The information is collected and sold to advertisers.
NPR Fresh Air ran a story on the topic (actually they've done more than one):

Hi all
As I never bought anything from MusicTeck before, may I ask if anyone had any experience? I am pretty sure it is legit, after checking some review, but just double checking here
thanks !
P.S. to stay on topic - they have opus 3 for 499$ Am thinking about purchasing it or maybe somebody knows better price ?

Musicteck is awesome. They have a 100% seller rating on Amazon, FWIW.

Definitely legit. I’ve purchased from them several times. Quick, even when fulfilling Black Friday specials, when I assume they were very busy.

Audio46 has LCD-2 B-stocks going at $648 with full warranty:

Almost seems like they're clearing out pieces from a B-stock sale someone posted earlier in this thread.

HiFiMan HE400i at BuyDig for $180, down from about $220 to $250 at most places:
https://www.buydig.com/shop/product...r-Planar-Magnetic-Headphones-Dark-Blue-Chrome
Use the code: 50OFF
Regarding recent build issues: There has been a recent trend of the headband breaking at the plastic arm that connects to the earcups. The problem is fairly widespread from newer batches of the 400i. It's hard to get a read on just how common this problem is, but my own 400i was purchased through a similar sale from BuyDig in December and broke about a month ago. HiFiMan was very fast getting a replacement to me with no questions asked. It took about a week from initial inquiry to problem solved. Great customer service in that regard. If you are tempted by this sale, you should be aware of that. I still think the deal is worth it, all things considered, but you may feel differently. Read up on the issue on the 400i thread or the 560 thread (same issue):

Feeling lucky? The HiFiMan HE560 is at Adorama for $350, down from the going rate of $500:

These headphones are phenomenal in sound quality, and go toe-to-toe with LCD-2's. Killer deal, buuuutt....

It's hard to get a read on just how common this problem is, and it seems less common than the same issue with the 400i.

Additionally, there are plans out there for 3-d printed yoke replacements, and individuals who have bee making them for a modest cost (< $20). Check the 560 impressions/discussion thread for more info if you're interested. I will second @phthora's opinion. For $350, these provide great planar sound. They do require a fair amount of power, so you're probably not going to drive them out of your phone.
