I think this is a good deal. Could be wrong
 
MP4Nation Chinese New Year sale
 
- FiiO E17 Audio Amp: Get a free Brainwavz R1 earphones and Brainwavz Zirconia headphone stand as free gifts. $139

Got this in an email. Here's the rest of the sale

I probably would had jump on this if it wasn't for the C5, and the fact that my last order from mp4nation arrived in terrible condition.

The meet he's talking about on the 17th is the SF Bay Area one.

MrSpeakers will be there, so there will definitely be some Mad Dogs to try.

Some Sennheiser 428 on sale from Newegg for $59.99

Not my cup of tea, but maybe it's yours.
 
Some other online places selling them a bit cheaper too, I just like Newegg's return policy / customer service.

They only gave me the option of the brainwavz beta...I wanted the R1 and stand.

 
Are you sure that you were looking at the e17
 
The e11 comes with the Beta ie for $69.95
 
Which isn't that great of a deal unless you already want the Beta

What's the consensus on these? I don't think they've received much attention- even the XB800 seems pretty unpopular around here.

I listened to them at Target, and the MDR-XB700 blows them violently out of the water (I've never heard the XB500 or XB800). I thought the Skullcandy Aviators that were sitting next to them sounded much better, if that tells you anything. They also felt very cheap and flimsy compared to the old XB line.
