I got the HA-S500-Z, shipped from Japan about a month ago, currently use some Velvet ears, $15 off eBay.
Not sure it changed the audio quality (good or bad), but I like the comfort.

 
But what do you think about the headphones themselves??
 
They can't live up to the insane hype...
 
Can they??

 
No, they can't live up to the insane hype. That's what makes it insane.
 
I think they're a really good pair of headphones. For the $75 I paid, they're very good.

Looks like an even better deal

 

[Doc-holliday]

Anyone know of any deals on the Q701?

The $225 on amazon IS a deal. I mean you can wait around to save $20 bucks somewhere one of these days but the current amazon price is a great price for a great headphone.

Agreed, I just bought a pair from there today.  Glad to see nobody else could find a massively better deal somewhere else.

Guitarcenter has a $20 off coupon for purchases over $100 (see home page). The black Q701 is $228.23 with free shipping. If the code works for those, should be $208.23.

Already bought them at amazon, but I added to cart and tried the online code anyway just to see and it didn't work.

Thanks, i dont know if i'm going to keep them though. Today i received AKG K272's and so far i'm not too crazy about them, if i don't like Pro 750's they're both going back, and the wife will let me live to see another day
