Hello,

I have decided that I want to buy the Audio Technica ATH-AD700's.

All I have to do now is figure out the best/cheapest way to buy them.

It looks like I can pick them up on Amazon.com for ~$135.00 USD when all the shipping is worked into the price.

Any better deals out there for a new pair?




Thanks for the help!

I would buy them from the For Sale forum.... just don't buy the ones from hurryup. He deserves to be stuck with those >_>.

In any case, they are much cheaper here in the states, and so, you should be able to pick up a pair for $70 or so USD from the For Sale if you're a bit patient.

lol, Quickstrike best to buy them off the forums, you can avoid tax You could try google to see if you can find any retailers, but if they're in canada I doubt they'll be cheap.

I checked accessoryjack but they don't carry the AD700, JR has them for $89 but I believe the shipping costs to Canada is about $40 or there about from them. You may be able to find an understanding US head-fi member who would be willing to buy and ship the phones to you. It would probably save you about $20 in shipping costs and if they sent them as a gift you would probably be able to dodge getting nabbed with customs taxes.

Like some others have said you can usually get a good deal through the FS forum, and buying used will mean they will be mostly broken in when you get them too. I bought mine used and have been very happy with them. In fact I bought brand new AD900 phones recently and while liking the idea of "new" found the whole breakin process a pain LOL.

That is a good option too
