I used to love newegg, but now I'm very wary. They don't pay return shipping like Amazon does, even if it's a newegg/Rosewill branded dead-on-arrival defect, and I ordered some things from Newegg flash which got "lost" in shipping, they would only refund me instead of shipping a comparable priced product currently on sale. Kicker was they had me wait a week while they "investigated" the lost package before refunding me, and the day they refunded me I checked the tracking number and watched the package get shipped back to newegg...

Customer service does respond to you and does try to help, but it's not a complete 5* service.

I have the exact same issues with them.  I dislike the way they do things.  I only order from them if it is an extremely good deal.

Evs, I typically have to pay a few bucks in return shipping with Amazon. It's often worth it because I don't return most of the items I order but the fee is there on anything electronic unless it's defective. Laws may be different over there in PA land but return shipping is usually taken out of my refund.

Interesting.  I'm wondering how in the world they voice a dynamic like an e-stat, but if they've managed to do that (I haven't drank that koolaid quite yet), then that's a heck of a deal indeed.

It's not going to be exact particularly in speed but it comes close. MagickMan has a good write-up as well as some modding (although I'm not too fond of the 2nd part of his mod with the felt). Also keep in mind the build quality, super budget feel but it did stand up to normal home use really well.

There's also less bass than what most people like there to be...although the bass reaches deep its very controlled and has a fast decay. The mids on em are very slightly forward with a nice fast but apparent decay (when comparing to the HE560). For the first 50-100hrs the treble on these are unbearable, for the first 24hrs the bass is non-existent. I couldn't relax with these headphones until around 150hrs on the DX100, the Project Polaris at the time made them bearable in between 0 to 150hrs.

In a way, it's not really Newegg's fault your shipment is lost (blame the carrier). Yeah, while paying for shipping on DOA items suck (unless you're a Premier customer), keep in mind that Newegg isn't as big as Amazon to have those free returns and etc. But then again you have smallish companies like BuyDig with awesome service...

It looks like Sennheiser HD 650s are back down to $290 for the moment on Amazon. These sure have been bouncing up and down in price lately.

Right.
Don't want to derail thread, so to put a bow on it:
I do blame the carrier, but apparently they found it immediately after I was refunded, meanwhile newegg got to hold onto my money for a couple weeks.
Customer service was courteous, but they didn't have any more stock of my purchase, policy wouldn't let them do an even exchange for a same-priced other brand alternative that was also on sale.
They also charged me extra money on my electronics parts because I was unlucky enough to get a sample that was DOA, through shipping fees and time.

I'm NOT saying not to buy from Newegg, but I am saying their policies and customer service aren't what they used to be, and if the price difference is small with another company known for awesome customer service I take hard consideration about what that is worth. For example I would've saved time and shipping money just ordering a slightly higher priced unit from Amazon (or BuyDig) in both my instances. Massdrop takes time too, so probably a toss-up to where to order from, probably things will go fine either way.

I can't get it to work on any of them.  Last week's rebate deal only applied to the black so your question is quite valid.  I'm on the lookout for a set in white myself.

Prob over was a deal of the day type thing. If you don't jump on Amazon quick you lose out. Just keep eye out they change prices there in a blink of the eye.

Fiio X5 319.00 + 31.90 ebay bucks(YMMV) on ebay
So basically 287.10 if you use ebay often and received 10% ebay bucks offer.
