Ebay is running 5x ebay bucks today. I just received $15 on a $150 purchase.

Where do you see this at? I just bought something and it didn't count and I don't see anything about this anywhere on eBay. Please advise.

Pro Audio Star has Sennheiser HD 650s for $309!

If anyone is interested, Pro Audio Star is a legit dealer. They've been selling audio products in Brooklyn for many years and are incredibly helpful.

Seems like all HD600/650 deals I've seen charge tax, which isn't really much of a deal in my book.

  How do you like yours, are they comfortable??  Sound good? I have been buying less from Amazon since they started charging sales tax in Texas.

 
I like the sound of IE80 a lot. It's one of the best IEMs I have heard (among W3, TF10, GR07, etc ). The sound signature is warm and full with decent soundstage. Some people may feel it's too thick with too much bass (especially if they are used to the BA sound). I am not a basshead but I do appreciate the bass of IE80 (bass dial set to minimum). I don't regret buying them even I paid more than the current deal price two years ago.

Ah so it is.  Weird that it doesn't come up when I searched by HD650 or by Sennheiser.  Thx

Dang you...now you are making me want to buy them again...and the deal is still available...
 
How is there isolation?  Some of the reviews I read report them as mediocre to poor.

Bought the HD650 for $314 from B&H Photo Video on Monday; free shipping to Texas and no sales tax. Have been extremely happy with B&H in the past.

Well, it's worth to buy them again IMO. I don't mean to go off tangent on this deal thread but spending a little time discussing the features and qualities of a product may help us to determine if a deal is worth it.
 
I think the isolation of the IE80 is dependent on whether you can get a good seal. I am using the Monster Turbine tips and they can block out pretty much all of the background noise in an office environment. Although the best isolation I have had was the SE215 with foam tips. They can block out everything, 100%.
 
Speaking of SE215, does anyone know of any good deals for the SE215 special edition (the blue one)? Thanks.

A) Aaarrgghhh my wallet and girlfriend are already super pissed at me...
 
B) Massdrop had a deal on SE215 SE for $115 + $5 shipping, but I think it is over now...

I bit and got the IE 80's I . I have always been curious about their sound signature and I have been kicking myself that I missed out on the Woot deal. I need another iem like I need another hole in my head but oh well yolo.

Yeah, but if you live in NYC, it'll end up as ~$342. 

It's a nice place though, and they have the most headphones to tryout on a store I've seen so far.

I got in on the Woot deal and a Fiio x3 on BF. I tested both out as soon as they arrived. I was already walking out the door and in a rush I played the ie80's through the line out for the first 20 minutes. Could I have caused any damage? I really doubt it, but the soundstage and imaging can be bizarre with some songs. Wide, great imaging but no harmony, would be great for a studio. The bass can be a little boomy, and it gets more noise than my other iem's. Coming from x11i, slightly more refined but not as vast a difference as you'd get jumping up a tier with full sized headphones. The x11i's definitely have more musicality and comfort is not even comparable.
