Silly question...
 
What's an affiliated link? 
 
Thanks

 
It can be two things-
 
A link that points to an "in-between" website that then redirects you to the real website
 
or
 
A link that goes to the correct website but includes an affiliate tag in the url. For example, something like
 
www.amazon.com/someitem.html?affiliateid=bobdole
 
The idea is that big retailers like Amazon pay people to link to their site (if the people clicking the link end up buying) so in this example, if you clicked on this link and bought 'someitem' then this Bob Dole guy would get a cut from Amazon for referring a customer to their site.
 
In other words.... any kind of link that you or someone else makes money off of based on how many clicks it gets.

It is posting a link of where the deal was posted on another site.  This means that the other site (e.g. FatWallet) would get the credit for you clicking through their site to get to the site (e.g. Amazon) where the deal is actually present.
 
Edit: Clicks through an affiliation site equals revenue for the "affiliate site."
 

 
Ah, ok. Thanks!

Looks like http://www.razordogaudio.com (used to be razordogdeals) has some great coupons on Sennheiser stuff. RAZORDOG50 works on over $249 and RAZORDOG100 on over $399. Makes the new black Momentum $300 and HD600 $300. Both of those are really good deals! Also, HD598 for $200, etc. 

 
 
Thanks for posting this... just ordered my first pair of HD 600's.  Looking forward to checking them out.

I'm quite sure the Koss TBSE headphones will run fine without an amp.  But, for me, even with an amp, they just didn't thrill me enough.  I bought them on two occasions from the Tuesday Morning stores in my area, then returned them twice, too.  I'm probably banned from returning any future items to them, but something just didn't seem right with the headphones when it came to musical excitement.  However, I will say though, the headphones are constructed very, very well.
 
Even when I allowed sufficient burn-in time with these, there just wasn't much "wow" for me.  Other people love them, so please don't let my opinion jade the desire to purchase them. 

Thank you for the comments, I read even further and some people say they are not really over the ear phones.  I got the CAL! phones and while I love them I have using on-ear phones; see I have big ears...

Then you probably don't want the TBSE, they're pretty small and not fully circumaural.
