They're a steal at that price, if you like the fit.

Holy Cow! Here's the link
Costco - $129.99 After $50 Off Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Clear Noise Canceling Headphones

I already have two pairs of Super.Fi 5 Pro's, but this almost makes me want to order another set. The MSRP is actually $250, and the cheapest I've ever found a new one was $169+shipping on eCost.

I'll also add that the new Meizu M6SL DAP plus SF5Pro's a fabulous combination with rocking bass, smooth-detailed highs, and midrange that's not recessed (a common criticism of UE's in general).

Buy.com had SF5 Pro's in red for $105 or $109 a couple of weeks back, I would've jumped on them were it not for the time of year w/present buying looming.

Anyone have any comparison between these and the q-jays? I've been thinking about picking up the q-jays, but the price on the super-fis now has me thinking they might be the better deal.

So, the new meizu doesn't produce hiss anymore? Is it worth getting over the SL cause I found an add in my walgreens paper selling 4gb meizu's for $90.

 

[eruditass]

all non SL meizu's have pretty noticible hiss with E500's and a decent amount with E4C's, while M6SL's, M3's, and probably M6SE's don't.

not sure how SF5's are sensitivity wise. E4C's are 109, higher = more hiss with meizu.

Costo. Buy.com.

It's like a battle between your conscience, and fear of the inevitable return. I guess it's the holidays.

Because of the time of year, I did jump on them at that price, as a gift to my 14yr old. I did the buy.com free shipping, and got them in 4 business days for $109

 

[Jessipoo]

wow and I thought when I got mine for 160 at amazon.com a couple of weeks ago I was getting a good deal, pretty upset about all this, but at least I have them now.

 

[holland]

It makes me wonder why they are going for cheap lately. Is there a replacement model coming out?

 

[Ingo]

I saw this in our Costco.com ad (I work at Costco) a few days ago. They also had the SF3 Studio for pretty cheap ($49.99).

 

[ShiroZ]

Nice price on the SF5! It doesn't seem to be available at Costco.com at the moment.

Currently, Amazon has the Black/White SF3 for $49.99 shipped!

 

[melomaniac]

yeah, I got this: "We're sorry, this product is not available. Product number: 11239717"

 

[NeObliviscaris]

when head-fi was down, buy.com had em at $109.99, and if you use Google Checkout for first time its -$10, so $99.99 for them, I wish I lived in USA so I coulda bought em!
