Also, the 558's on Best Buy's website have gone down to $69.99 from $79.99 it appears. Sooooo tempting!

I should have picked these up instead of the 598 when I made that purchase.  At this point, I'm really tempted, but at time same time I really don't need them.

It's tempting. I'm just thinking, had I not gotten these T20RP's, I could have gotten the 558's, SHP9500's and Hyperx Clouds for the same price lol. 
 
But then I am probably not fully utilizing my schiit stack with any of those cans :frowning2:

Be careful to order anything from headphone.com, they refund your order many days with no notice at all.
Waste my time and money and a big opportunity to grab another deal on headphone from other good vendor.

I don't know if that counts as a deal but Focal Spirit One S for 118.69 USD through Amazon.

AliExpress has an upcoming sale next week and my weakened willpower in the face of audacious Chi-Fi bang for buck has me adding to my cart enough items to best my 5 year history of audiophile gear procurements.

Upgrade cables that cost more than the IEMs they're upgrading? Check!

Earbuds of all impedances? Check!

Entire catalogs of gear from a single manufacturer? Check!

Luckily (or not) rent is also due next week and I'm sure my cart will lighten as the clock ticks. The main deal I'm eyeing is the newly minted King of the under $200, triple-driver hybrids the MaGaosi K3 Pro.

It's gonna go for more than $50 off its typical $149.99 price tag.

6 more days till the sale commences and my eyes are bloodshot from scrolling through deals and scouring the 'net for reviews of obscure brands with names more easily pronounced by mallards than this American English tinged tongue.

More so than the LZ-A4?

There are defenders of each on both sides. Here's the latest impression on the K3 thread.

quite a few sellers on AliExpress offer the MaGaosi K3 Pro.  How do you know which is reliable?  
I heard a lot of fakes (in general) being sold on AliExpress... do not care if that's a $10-20 earbuds, but for $100+ earbuds - I really want to make sure I get the real thing.

I would take the same steps I take when ordering off eBay. Look at seller ratings and pay with a credit card through the site itself and not directly to the seller. Unfortunately there is no PayPal on AliExpress.

I'm sure the guys in the K3 thread will tell you which buyers they got theirs from.
