Do you buy used headphone? I'm just curious.

I never would of before I found Head-Fi. I wanted to try DT770/80 so I bought them from a fellow Head-Fi'er. It should arrive Wednesday. If all goes well I might buy used more often.

Ofcourse.. Best way to go..

I only buy used headphones, just give the pads a wash (or replace) and if it's IEM, obviously get new tips, otherwise, why not, it's cheaper, they already have proper burn-in so they sound great as soon as you get them.

Is there another option? Did I miss that chapter?

I buy used far more often than not. I think the only pair i've bought new in recent years was the ksc75.

I'm glad I made a good choice.

I have purchased almost all of my headphones used. Save a pair of SR60's, marshmallows, and KSC75. Oh, and MY DT770's.

I've gone both ways, new and used. I have no problems with either. The former offers well...new phones, but usually at a higher price.

Used for higher end phones. I buy cheap phones new.

Just like a girlfriend, I give it a proper once over to make sure everything is in tip top condition. Obviously, an anti bacterial wipe should be used to clean the earpads where replacements are not practical or possible. This is for hygiene reason and an important point that should not be overlooked.
Personally I prefer to try before I buy, but that is not always practical.

I don't think I have ever bought any headphones new...

This made me laugh really hard.
I envisioned using an anti bacterial wipe to clean the earpads of your girlfriend etc......

Sorry, just thought it was funny.

Actually, I find the last line of his even funnier.
