Umm, is the Shure SHA900 really a "deal" at $899? Sure, that's a $100 off of list, but it's also $300 more than the mojo. Is the the Sure really 50% better than the mojo?

Haha, you cannot compare them in that way. There are DAC/amp at the price of 200 and I am quite sure mojo is not three times as good as those

Yes, I understand the law of diminishing returns. So let's start with a basic questions. Is the Shure even a deal at all at $899? Is it better at all over the mojo, the CEtrance HiFi-M8, or the HiFi-M8 Mini? There are very few reviews on the SHA900, so it's hard to see how it's with that much.

I've been watching the crazy price fluctuations on Amazon for the MSR7, it's at a pretty nice price right now:  $185.47 through Amazon directly.  According to camelcamelcamel, it's the lowest it's ever been though I remember one post to this thread where it was $181.

That's a nice looking set of headphones. I've seen those out in the wild. I wonder how they sound.

True. But maybe someone just love the design and build of SHA900 and also there are people who believe those are designed for KSE1500.

I think you are referring to the previous post on the AT MSR-7BK at Amazon.
 
IMHO they sound just as good as they look, a very compelling fun sound while still being accurate.

With $20 coupon, W50 only sells for $350. What a deal!

I hope no one actually bought bag 3 assuming they are w50 based on this thread. Its actually w40.

Fidelio X2 is down to $128 for VG from Amazon Warehouse deals.

Yes.... I see you're right.  I just (tried) to cancel my order.  They assigned a shipping label to it at precisely the time I called, yet refused to stop shipment even though it's still sitting in their facility, so I'll need to return via RMA.  I have no intention of paying for the return postage, either.

Refuse the shipment if you are around when it's delivered. "Return to Sender"
