hmmmm.... never got an email from them! AFAIK, I am on their mailing list (and a repeat customer).

same here...kind of odd

I didn't even receive an email. I am devastated; I've been waiting the whole year for the i4s to be on sale and I can't believe I missed it. Is there any chance they may restock? Do they have a Christmas sale of sorts?

Oh damn, the LCD-24 is my favorite full-size from Audeze and that's one heck of a discount. And an LCDi4 for $1K? I'm obviously biased, but that's a steal too.

I never even heard of the LCD-24 until this moment (?!?). Now I have one in my cart. Help!

Seriously, anyone who has this HP: how are the dynamics?

I had a pre-fazor LCD-3 a couple years ago. It has the loveliest planar sound I'd ever heard...it absolutely crushed classical music of all kinds. But the dynamics were IMO not up to par; playing any music w/a strong beat & bass was a frustrating experience.

Are the dynamics of the LCD-24 better than LCD-3?

(thanks)

Man the stuff from Audeze is going fast. Great prices for sure.

Keep in mind, that in the past Audeze has offered another round of discounts (maybe not quite as tempting) in early December.
A few years ago they offered the LCD3 Maple (which is beautiful looking BTW) for $1,100 and the LCD-MX4 for $1,500 and discounts on various Sine and iSine headphones post-Black Friday during the early December timeframe.

Any specific time this sale goes live? Hopefully I'll be able to snag an i4 then. I wish Audeze was more consistent with their sale dates or at least gave somewhat of a heads-up beforehand.

Dan Clark audio has a 15% discount on most of their products and 25% off if you create an account. https://danclarkaudio.com/. Here's the full description from the email I got:

Today through Monday, 11/30, Club DCA members get an additional 10% discount (total discount of 25%, ÆON RT discount is 20%) off any award-winning Dan Clark Audio headphones for yourself, or perhaps to share the gift of great sound

No. The year that I mentioned, it was the first week in December. I can't remember if they did it last year but you can probably search this thread and see.
In addition, Audeze has b-stock sales pretty often. Usually don't discount as heavily as Black Friday but just a month ago as part of Octoberfest I believe, they offered the LCDi4 b-stock for around $1,500.

Looks like a solid value on a set of BT headphones from Sennheiser - HD458BT with active noise cancellation and high-quality wireless codec support (AAC, aptX™, aptX™ Low Latency)

$99.98 w/free shipping (was $199.98)

These are nice, mid-level cans for the money. But fair warning: The openings are VERY small for the ear cups, and the clamping force is pretty strong. So, a comfortable fit could be a problem if you have big ears or a big noggin.

Beyerdynamic Amiron Home headphones from NewEgg for $319 down from a typical street price of around $500:

Wow so Ether CX and Aeon 2 can be had for 750. That's a tough choice for me at least as I'm interested in a new closed back and these are both on my short list.

Is there a snowball's chance in hell they might restock the i4 or am I out of luck with this sale?

Focal Elegia from Todd the Vinyl Junkie for $450. These are discontinued by Focal, so get them while you can.
