I know it's tough to get all fired up and then be let down.

Lmao.

(Wish I was as good at finding gear deals, thanks for all who share!)

So I've decided I want to bail on my HD700s and pick up a high end pau of closed headphones instead, but try to keep the large soundstage. This has led me to Mr Speakers Alpha Dogs. Does anyone agree? I'm also open to other recommendations in the (deal-priced) 500-700 range. I expect to get 500 out of my HD700s, so I won't mind adding a bit more for my next set.

My deal discussion question is this: are there ever any deals on Mr Speakers products? What has been a deal in the past on Alpha Dogs?

Thanks!

Probably not until black Friday, or never. I haven't seen or heard of any but I don't really follow the site too often to update you with a deal from him.


What kind of sound are you wanting from a closed pair of headphones?

There's a couple used Alpha Dogs on the for sale board for $450-550 so you should be able to buy at a good price.

Good option for your requirements.

Make sure you're using them for universals. Customs might not fit.

I use this case for my JH16 and it fits great.

He used to offer discounts on returned/b-stock items. You should ask if he has any in stock...and let us know

If you want to buy brand new, the only deal I ever offer mrspeakers offering is at local head-fi meets. On black friday the 'deal' wasn't a discount but some add on, like a carry pouch. The returned headphones he would resell used to be a small discount of like $20-$30, IIRC. 
 
If you're willing to buy used, there have been a surprisingly large number of alpha dogs listed for sale. You can probably find a good price in there. Guess they didn't live up to the hype

This is a great point...is it the cans or is it the herd jumping on the next new thing?  I'd bet more the latter than the former.  There's a good portion of audiophiles that, from my perspective, like testing and having the lastest gear and posting up about it.  Forums have facilitated that behavior and helped foster it IMO.  Seen the same thing on car forums...next best/cool thing.
 
It's all good.  Must make the vendors happy.

That is on-ears right? They mentioned on ears but the pictures are showing the over ears type

 
 

  It's the on-ear Momentum, still a good deal given the free amp, but would have been more awesome if it's the over ear version.

 
I pulled the trigger thinking it was the over-ear model, but just emailed the seller to confirm.

Any confirmation on those headphones? And by the way, do the controls work for android phones as well? Im usually concernes about those things
