Warehouse prices are $352 for Like New and $333 for Used - Good .... I'd take brand new for $378

I find that condition descriptions are usually exaggerated. I've bought a pair that was labeled as good in the past that looked brand new and still had the wrappers. It may not be like that every time, but since it did for me, I'd do it again and again.

Agreed. The condition usually describes the packaging and not the item itself. Every warehouse purchase I've made has been wonderful and I've received basically brand new items

Never heard of them, and a quick search here leaves me unconvinced. Are they worth $60?

TDK seems to evaluating a push in the headphone direction but not now, it could be worth it just for the greater good.

I know these aren't headphones, but it's a great accessory to help drive quality phones:

Glad to see the e17 coming back in stock at the reasonable price!!

 
Yes, that's great to see.  If anyone placed an order via Head-Direct (the retailer for HifiMAN) and the E17 wasn't in stock (basically anytime during the past 3 months), then they are not charging shipping on top of the $139.00 price.

I've always wandered if the e17 hype was warranted. Seems like enough people are happy with the e7 so I guess there must be some solid fact behind the hype.
