Shows $128... and is this a legit site? Never heard of it or shopped from them.

Edit: For some reason your link takes you to a non-sale priced page. You have to go through the Sony sale page and click on it..but still questioning how legit the site is, anyone?

Here's the site and also they show the Sony XBA-H3 for $199. Normally $250 on Amazon:

Wow, lowest in 10 years.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Chord Hugo?  Maybe something on the classifieds...

 
Here's an example:
 
You can get the Meier Audio Corda Quickstep portable amp (successor to the famous Stepdance) for only USD $255, with free international shipping.  
 
There are a lot of people who have paid $325 or more for the Quickstep in recent years.
 
A ships-from-Japan seller (at Amazon) currently wants $444 for the Quickstep, once $14.49 shipping is added:  http://www.amazon.com/QUICKSTEP-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Silver/dp/B00FLQBPI4
 
$255 is a good deal for the Quickstep.
 
It looks to me as if Meier Audio has the US Dollar exchange rate advantage built into his "Outside EU" pricing.

Just make your PayPal payments specifying Meier's "Outside EU" price in USD, not in EUR, and (per my rough calculations) you'll do better than you can specifying the EUR price for payment and suffering PayPal's 2.6% currency exchange fee (IIRC - do your homework!)

Resellerratings.com has them at 6.67/10 with 17 reviews. They sell mostly PC parts according to review. Most complaints come from items listed as in stock but are back ordered. Full star reviews praise their customer service. I have not baught from them, and I don't know if to trust the reviews.

I've bought PC-related stuff from them, no question of fake/refurb goods. Delivery times might be spotty (based on what others I know have said). But overall, they seem pretty legit, competitors with newegg.com and the like.

  Is this a good price ($239.99) for the Beyer DT990 Premium? Anyone seen lower prices recently? It's closing out in a few hours, fighting the urge to click :wink:

Camelcamelcamel is a good tool for these kinds of questions. Amazon had it for $229 back in august '14, I'm guessing that was with prime, too.
 
But it doesn't hit that low very often. Average of $300.
 
It seems they can go years without being at that price, on Amazon at least. If you're serious about wanting the headphone, I think it's a good deal.

  BuySonic has the Beyerdynamic T70 for $369:
 
https://www.buysonic.com/products/beyerdynamic-t70/

 
Don't get T70/80/90 series, they sound good but the build quality is extremely poor.
 
The problem with the build is that the tiny tiny voice coils are soldered on a small circuit board and the connection between the two is very very weak.if you shake or drop you will eventually damage and disconnect to coils and the 4 conducting wires.
 
T1 and T5p are different built.

The Woo Audio WA7 & WA7d just dropped on Massdrop. If it hits the lowest price, it will be a better deal than BF. It's an absolutely amazing amp from my experience with it.
