Anyone in market for Sennheiser 558 (used) should not miss out on this deal!
 
Their going rate (new) is 180 bucks but you can get them used, but in very good condition, by this seller who is selling it for a mere 10 bucks, in 1000 installments.
 
Shipping not included in this price tag of 10 grand.
 
Get it while supplies last.

Why, at that price, he's practically giving them away!
 
Thanks for the laugh.

I would get a TubeMagic D1. I have one and love it. $200 and you get a 24/96 DAC and a decent built in amplifier.

16/44.1 kHz not 24/96 kHz

Denon AH-D7000 Headphones for $549.18 AC FS Electronics expo

This makes their brand new D7000's cheaper than their open boxes which don't work with the MARCH2012 code.

It depends on what you're using. USB is capped at 16/44.1 but not optical or coaxial (FWIR). I was going off of Maverick Audio's site of accepted sample rates/bit depths. It's possible it downsamples, but it does so nicely and sounds great to me.
 
<Edit> Looking around the Condensed FAQ Thread, 24/96 looks to be true. The USB is also 16/48 rather than 44.1

They're already sold out.

Damn it, I would've grabbed a pair of those.

I tried getting a discount from J&R on the HD598... No dice. Sennheiser says no discounts. Does anyone know if this is permanent (as it is with Apple, Grado, etc.)? In which case I'd just buy for $250 on Amazon.

Any good deals for the Sennheiser MM 500-X?

I have no inside information, but reading the facts it is all but certain that Sennheiser is enforcing a MAP that sets a floor on retail prices.  Whether or not this continues depends on the market, including the economic conditions--which for the most of the headphone consuming world falls between "bad" and "sucks".
 
I do not like companies who try to increase their price on their products to the consumer by coercing their vendors to sell at an artificially high price.  Therefore I will tend to take my business away from Sennheiser to another line who does not follow the MAP business model.

Oh man, thanks for the info. I agree, it's tough to pay full-price on a headphone that was 35% less expensive two months ago. This is turning me away from Sennheiser as well. If you look at coupons at various stores, they now exclude Sennheiser products. This sucks.

Not only this sucks but it is price fixing which is supposedly illegal. What more the remaining brick and mortar stores hardly allow any demo on headphones.
