I made two calls to J&R and went to Electronics Expo for the HD598; no one will discount. These are pretty easy going retailers, too. J&R told me a discount is now forbidden on the HD598, and that's not because of a new J&R policy.



That's an easy fix. Don't buy the HD598 from anywhere. Sennheiser will see that people aren't willing to pay that much for a headphone that should be priced $80 lower than their msrp. Find another pair of headphones.

It's interesting that the HD598 at $250 are a terrible deal but the SR225i at $200 is fine.
 
The difference is that Grado's NEVER go on sale, so there's nothing to complain about. Everybody has seen the Sennheisers on sale for $170, so all of a sudden, the HD598's aren't worth $250.
 
...


Keep your eyes peeled.  I once saw SR325 on sale from Midwest Pro Sound and Lighting at $242 shipped (or plus $13 shipping, I don't remember) a long time ago.  I got my SR325is in '09 for $245 shipped from HeadRoom.  They had small discounts on certain Grados back then.

But the coupon code doesn't seem to be working.


The website Bountii will sometimes list good coupon codes for Electronics Expo.

MARCH2012 works for me on EE for the NEW D7000's.... *shrugs*
 
I've spent far too much on audio in the past three months. I can't bring myself to the trigger on this one. :p

So I have no idea what AKG240 they really have for sale right now at $99.  Anyone know?

You'll likely react the same way I did, my jaw dropped and then a goofy grin spread across my face. :D
