Can we confirm that Jaycar ships the clones for $7.50?

 
I can't.  I was charged $20 for shipping.

Oh man, if i were you, i will not buy this time, how can the shipping fee almost 40-50% of the actual headphone, if the headphone is aT1, HD800 tier, i would buy it, but in this case is not.

size thats how
the box is the same shape.

The shipping is expensive, but the headphone is not expensive.  At $70 shipped it's the best deal there is in full sized closed headphone (with spare ear pads to boot).

I can't see your logic. It weighs the same as an HD800 so you'd imagine that it would cost the same amount to ship.

Personally, if I'm paying $1500 for a set of cans, they damned well better ship them for free. However I expect to pay a decent amount of shipping for a set of cheapies.

HD800 markup - $450
FA-003 clone markup - $15

If Jaycar is shipping these cans from Australia to US then $20 USD is actually cheaper than if you go to the local post office here and use Registered post (signature on delivery) which costs a minimum of $23 AUD for 250g.
 
What called my attention is the actual headphone case :p I wish I could get some like that from eBay for around $20 bucks.

They were in fact shipped from Oz.
 
Yes, the headphone case is quite nice!

Awesome deal. You just can't beat that build quality, durability and comfort at that price. Sound is a bit too tame for my tastes but I bought 'em anyway. Last pair was stolen (haven't yet designed a headphone that is theft-proof, unfortunately :[ ). 
 
EDIT: In regards to the Philips O'Neil SHO9560/28 The Stretch headphones.
