Got an email from Tranya just now:

is it really a deal if they seem to be perpetually going on sale 50%+ off ? pretty much the normal price if always 50% off.

In fact checking their listings on Amazon.com.. looks like the 50% off price is their normal price...
some items are slightly cheaper on amazon than from their website even with the code and ship much faster (amazon next day prime shipping as opposed to 15-20+ days from the mfg website)..

so yeah definitely not a deal, but a marketing gimmick to trick buyers into thinking they are marked down and on sale and are getting a nice deal (50% off!) but in reality is just the normal price after all the fake discounts.

For example, their flagship T10s cost $129.99 but marked down to $79.99 on their website and for $47.24 total with the 50% off code applied and shipping + service fee. However Amazon.com has the T10s for 49.99 and a $10 off coupon for $39.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BK7H3J5/

Yeah, that's a popular gimmick, I bought a Tranya T10 from Amazon UK (I'm in the US), and one from the Tranya site. I received the Amazon UK Tranya 10 after a few days, and now I am still waiting for the T10 from Tranya's site. It's coming via China Post, now USPS here in the US, it's already been 7 days and it's probably another week out.

I also paid differing amounts due to the varying discounts, my Amazon UK Tranya T10 was £41.66 but with discounts £31.26 final price with shipping = $40.85 USD. The Tranya site was a little bit more, $58.78 shipped.

I don't mind paying a bit more for a direct customer relationship with the maker - and look for opportunities to pay directly so the maker gets rewarded with a larger percentage of the sale.

The Tranya T10 sounds great to me - I love the full sound from the larger dynamic driver - I hope Tranya keeps up the good work, and keeps giving those great "discounts"

This is a great deal

They also have the Cardas A8 IEM for $209 - https://drop.com/buy/cardas-audio-a8-iem

I have one and am pleased with it... although the cable is a little strange.

I am not sure if this is a targeted offer but I received $30 off from Headphones Inc via Paypal. Received an email just a while ago and picked up the IT00 for a pretty sweet price.
Check your emails!

More than likely it's a targeted promotion...

Had you purchased from them previously?

 

[dazKewl]

Had you purchased from them previously?

FWIW, I have and still nada

 

[D3soLaT3]

I do not believe so. Possibly years ago but definitely nothing recent. I may have been flirting with a purchase for some time though.

Looks like it. I checked in the categories electronics, entertainment, and other in the PayPal app and didn't see this.

Indeed they are an authorized dealer ;~)

Indeed they are an authorized dealer ;~)

Are you sure?

When I bought my Utopia from them on an open box sale (almost 3 years ago) there was a lot of talk that Adorama had been dropped as an authorized dealer and that the sale was about them blowing out their remaining inventory.
