Yeah but that's $700 for both headphone and amp.

 
Fair point for some folks.  However, it's only applicable if they don't have an amp or are planning on selling their current one.  Since neither of those apply to me, it's effectively a $700 headphone.

unless you have an electrostatic amp, it won't drive the 950's. So if you don't have any electrostats yet, the amp is actually gonna be necessary

Another reason why you can't include it when considering the price.

I guess the koss electrostat is not for you then, one less person to fight for the headphone and energizer when price goes low

All these great deals over the past few days have put my wallet in a coma.  I don't think it will be able to survive Black Friday.

For those who bought the HD700, how are we going to be receiving the $25 HD Tracks voucher?  I got an email with directions on how to use it, but I haven't received the actual voucher.  Is it going to be included with the headphones or sent via email?

You'll receive a code via email.

This is crazy. Just spent 780 on the Geek Pulse X, and now $200 on the RE-600S

I considered doing the same thing ... but then my bank account begged me not to xD

$700 for the ESP/950 is an absolute no brainer. That's a steal in terms of value (near-summit fi level cans).

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

Funny thing is that used to be it's regular price many many years ago before headphones industry boomed.

Also B&W P5 on Amazon flash sale at 8:50 Am Pacific Time

The ESP 950 has gone lower than $700 and I'd bet on a further reduction on Black Friday, possibly by both Amazon and KOSS directly: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Koss-160416-ESP-950-Electrostatic-Stereophone/product/B000056ULH

Curious about the electrostats, but not $700 curious.  @Evshrug
 just picked up a vintage Stax off eBay for ~$250 and he's raving about em.

For the sake of accuracy, it was $3 short of $300, and to my ears I feel like I ought to apologize to the EBay seller or start calling him my friend, LOL!

EBay is EBay of course... not dependable for availability or price. Mine did come with the SRD-7 adapter/energizer/transformer, so all I had to do was hook it up to my Yamaha receiver's speaker taps (and then my speakers to the passthrough speaker taps on the back of the SRD-7, thoughtful design).

What does the ESP950 sound like actually... I'm quite curious..
