Did you factor in shipping costs? That could help you say no, lol.

Shipping is only ~ $3. It was something like $24.84 for me, after shipping + tax. I'm currently weighing the M80s or Amperiors.... this might help me put off that purchase a bit longer since I don't do a lot of portable listening anyway haha

i just ordered the AKG K422's from Musician's Friend. For $19.99, it seems a no-brainer for me. I have several set of headphones for home use, but i need something for the streets and subway. Earbuds irritate my ears and annoy me cause they tangle so easily and its so easy for the little cushions to pop off and get lost.

The K422's are semi open though which will also may be a problem for me as I don't want to hear outside noises.. and I don't want people to hear me playing Miley Cirus... I joke, but you know what I mean.

I had to buy a Audio Technica(genuine) hard carrying case off ebay to go with it as i fall down and chuck by bag sometimes..... so yeah. My wallet does hurt. Had to hand quite some cash today!!! >_< in the last half year I have bought an Q701, E17, NFB 12.1, Objective 2, XB500, PL11, MP 8320, K422 and various cheap cables...my wallet is crying right now.

Been thinking about this deal for a few hours already...definitely don't need it though.
 
WHY WON'T IT SELL OUT?!

Just walk away. Unplug your modem/router. Read a book. Go listen to music on a pair of a great cans you already own. RUN!!!!

LOL this K422 situation is pretty funny. I've got it easy because I do actually need a portable headphone. I'm happy to postpone a $200-300 purchase for a few weeks trying out these cheapos. haha
