They're good at 80, but if you can find a used re262 around 110 like I did that's even better! Also havi b3 pro1 Is decent at 60, they may even go further on sale for bf who knows. Re400 at 5o Is an absolute steal. I never had a problem with build in the few month's I had mine and in very very rough on iems, except the 262 I babied those beauties.

  Thanks, I did some further reading and I don't think these are for me.  Now I'm kinda bummed I missed the RE-400 for $50.  Are they worth the current sale price of $80?  I don't know that the Deals thread is going to bite on the $80 one when they were $50 a few days ago... but they're supposed to be good even at $100.

 
Very subjective call. My son likes them, but he like s flat sound. If you prefer a fun sound, you will not like the RE-400s.

With regards to the HD700's at 423. They are charging sales tax! I've never seen that in my state (New Mexico) for internet orders unless the on-line retailer has a store in the state, which I imaging See doesn't. UG.

I prefer flat or very slight V.  The SoundMAGIC HP100 is a good example of an awesome all-arounder for me.

Just curious, how can you tell what's coming up as a lightning deal?

Also, the ESP-950 are not planar, they are electrostats. 

Hunh...
 
I had thought all electrostatics were planar.  Thanks for mentioning that, I'll have to do some reading, I guess.  Only downside to that being I will begin to believe I need them.  Looks like the deal starts at 2:30 US West Coast time.

That $40 is giving me pause. At straight up $423, I probably would have gone for it last night.

Me too. Reselling for $460 should not be hard, but reselling for $423 would be easier
 
Now to see what the lightning deal on the ES9-950s look like !

Earlier this year the ESP was cheaper than this deal.

$698.99 for Koss ESP 950, not bad, but not great either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000056ULH/ref=gb1h_img_c-2_6602_98df11d0?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=19R82E3073YYKB4A23JH&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1965626602

Koss estat at is gone. $699 for hp and enErgizer with lifetimE warranty is a great deal.


Edit: Oh weird it showed all claimed and now it shows 95%. Someone had to return lol

 

[soundeffect]

I'm one of the one who backed out. The price seems decent to me, but not low enough to bite as koss do send out coupon and sales for 25% off. Amazon charge me tax so not far off from koss sale price.

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

The 25% off usually happens when somehow the 950 goes out of stock. It's a convenient timing.

Amazon must be pumping more qty because now its only 65% claimed..

 

[Stillhart]

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.

 

[soundeffect]

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

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

For what people spend on headphones and amp, that's not bad at all. Specially when you're going for orthos
