[size=medium] Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Audiophile Headphones[/size]

 
Good condition to like new condition $60.55-$64
 
Is a good deal for this headphone?
Which condition will come with the original packaging in the highest possibility? 
 
I should buy the one without the description that is the best for me because that one is better than other two $63.91 one with descriptions?
 
There are three $63.91 in like new condition.
One is repackaging. Another is damaged packaging. The last one is without any description.

 
Hold up. Do these have 53mm drivers like the AD2000x?

Ah they DO have 53mm drivers! So you could buy these and implant AD2000 drivers which can be had for $45... then have a flagship level headphone for $150!!!
 
Of course I have no idea how to put them together so that won't be me. But $60 seems like a good price to experiment with.

I am on the fence now. I do not know which condition should I choose. I want the original packaging as well. But I am thinking I should go for the one without any description or another one with "packaging maybe damaged". Both are $64. If you were me, which one will you choose? for the one   with "packaging maybe damaged", at least I know it comes with original packaging. But for the one without any description, it seems it include everything, but I doubt it.

I would go with the "maybe damaged" packaging if you really want the original box. You could also do a random drawing and go that way.

That is an excellent deal.  Even these headphones on the forum only sell for about $50 less than that "new" price from TTVJ.

Heh, figures. The moment I choose to get the HE-500 (from TTVJ during their deal of the day pricing, no less), the LCD-2 go on sale right after. Seems like they ran out of stock of the HE-500 during their promotion and since I'd probably have to wait at least a few weeks before stock even arrived, I just e-mailed them to see if I could have my order switched over to the LCD-2. I'm glad they chose the Rosewoods as I much prefer the darker wood to the lighter Bamboo.
 
Thanks for the heads up.
