Was going through the Cyber Monday deals on Amazon and found these. Seem to get some good reviews, and $260 shipped seems OK for headphones of this caliber. Audiophiles may have some different opinions about these, hopefully it's a deal.
CamelCamelCamel.
quite an average price for these in my opinion.
these have been around this price since 5 years ago and this product seems to be regularly on sale. and the aussie dollar was doing ALOT better then too.
it was also $160 in october
I picked up a pair of these from massdrop sale.
I had them paired with my aune headphone amp.
I ended up selling them after lack of use As I found myself using my ultimate ears Tf10 so much more.
Not a bad pair. I just didn't use them enough
Their sound quality is excellent for the price. The weak AU$ makes the deal less attractive though. Good bass and overall still clear and revealing. Easy to drive (think DACport Slim). Unfortunately, the headband is not that comfortable and creaks a lot, especially if you wear glasses.

I have some. They are so-so.
But don't necessarily trust my opinion. My point of reference is UM Miracles ($1000 canal phones). But despite being an entirely different type of product, I didn't expect that something so much smaller than headphones could sound ten times better.
PS: Keeping my Quincy's still because they colour match my pc. Hah. They sure do look good.
