Just received the AD900 from buydig. Took some time as it had to be delivered through 3rd party as I don't live in USA.
My 1st order of 2 pairs were cancelled (with the same reason - pricing mistake); My 2nd order for 3 pairs went through (the other 2 pairs will go to my lucky friends)... I haven't left any feedback on their ebay page though.

Thanks for this deal! I managed to get myself the last pair of beyerdynamic t70 for $303 shipped! For other people, the t70p is still available for $320, dt880/600 for $224, dt990/600 for $223.20.
 
Crazy prices!

Using the 20% discount code FALLHP when checking out knocks the price of Beyerdynamic DT 1350s down to only $239.20 at www.sonicelectronix.com.    
 
I've never seen them that low. I paid $254 on Black Friday, elsewhere.  Even in Jude's Head-Fi TV #4 review of the DT 1350 he mentions that these are seldom discounted.
 
The 20% discount code is good for other products, too, of course.
 
And Sonic Electronix is []=USA&user_distributors_pi2[country_filter][]=0&submit_ie=1&user_distributors_pi2[submit]=Find]a Beyerdynamic-authorized reseller!

Almost nabbed AKG K550's on Amazon at $270, when I had a sneaking suspicion I might get better luck and used google shopping to find:
 
10 pairs of AKG K550s at $239 on eBay.

Well there are only 9 left now :) I hope it is a good price, but I've not been tracking AKG. I only decided to try this because last week I finally started getting complaints at work about all my open collection (HD650 & Byer DT 990s) and started hitting the threads for best of the best sealed stuff. (Will be comparing these to Byerdynamic DT1350 that I have on right now)

I got mine used for $190, so $239 isn't bad for NIB. Congrats, you'll enjoy it!

ugghh that design.

 
Trust me, the sound is worse. Just awful awful sound. Brutal mids that drown out everything, weak bass and painful highs make for one of the worst headphones I've ever owned. Needless to say I sent them back very quickly. Now when I bought them I was still very green so I jumped when I saw them at $349?!?!? Bad bad! $155 is ok... But still, I couldnt recommend those headphones if someone had a gun to my head...
 
A bit dramatic I know, but they really are that bad.

Music Direct HD650 new shipped $399. Idk why no one talks about it.

Because amazon also has $50 GC, so it was $410 + 50GC = $360, no tax, 1 day shipping and super lenient return policy. I was just being extra hopeful and wanted the 10% off...making it 
 
$410 - 41 = 369 - 50GC value = $319. totally doable. I really want another D2000 for $200ish, but i'd def do the HD650 for $320 lol

That's very lucky, you should take the prize for deal of the year :wink:

At the same time so random the way BuyDig operate.

And with the returning of Sennheiser headphones on Amazon to full list price ($495 for HD650, $249 for HD598), I hereby declare the Deal Season to be over, and welcome the Buyers Desperate for Christmas Gifts Full Price Plus Huge Overnight Shipping Costs Season.
