This seemed so ridiculous that I just checked. It's true. Why would anyone pay this much for a pair of pads.

I've never been a fan of Focal headphones, so take this with a grain of salt--but those people are out of their minds to sell a pair of pads for that much.

ROTFLMAO. This cracks me up. Those pads are made by mermaids under water laced with their 'mouths' using golden yarn spun from ....

Cheers.

I've formatted the email/newsletter I received regarding this year's black friday and cyber monday promotion they're (Power Holdings Inc.'s) running in a similar fashion for viewing on head-fi. The URL's should have no affiliate anything about them and are all direct links. I'm hoping to pass on some savings to others as I've owned and used products from a few of the manufacturers/brands listed above.

Was just going to post this here, but it already appears above. Noteworthy things on that list imho:

*The Musician Audio Aquarius is roughly $480 off. That's a very nice DAC (review in progress) for anyone who likes the R-2R sound but still keeping it pretty neutral/uncolored. Aquarius seems to get a better discount than the lower models from the same brand - I haven't heard those but can vouch for the Aquarius being legit.

*Auris HA-2SF is $500 off. Just look at that thing. It's beautiful!

*My new reference DAC is the Cen.Grand DSDAC1.0 Deluxe. Review in progress but it it's one of the best DACs I've ever heard... at any price. Knocking over $1200 off is significant, considering it is already priced very low in relation to competitors sounding anywhere near that good.

Well… the other option is to make your earpads so unbelievable awesome that you can't even buy a replacement pair (see Fidelio X2)

They're currently going for $799 (sold by Gramophone) 'new' on Amazon. I also found a factory refurbished one for $649.99 from accessories4less if anyone is interested. I think it's a legit website, but honestly haven't done any research, so be aware.

I can confirm that accessories4less is legit. They're also a Focal authorized dealer.

Greed has no boundaries my friend. All their pads are priced like that regardless of the model.

I like the build of Focal headphones, but always hesitant to buy due to exorbitant price they charge for replacement pads. I first noticed that when I had the Stellia.

Anyways, I just bought a pair of Celestee from Amazon like 5 minutes ago (oops) knowing I'll end up paying quarter of what I paid for the headphone for a set a replacement pads. lol.

The best deal I've seen for the Focal Celestee is open box from audioadvisor going for $549. Personally I just nabbed "demo" (return) unit of the Stellias for $1699 from them.

Keep checking daily. Who knows, Black Friday and Cyber Monday haven't arrived yet. Maybe you can try asking Adorama. Nobody here knows for certain.
