Sennheiser HD-600 headphones for $188
Buy.com offers the Sennheiser HD-600 hi-fi/professional headphones on clearance for $197.95. It's already the lowest price we've seen on Sennheiser's top-of-the-line headphones, which list for $450. Apply Buy.com’s $10 off $150 coupon for a $187.95 price. (A $15 off $200 coupon is also available.) Shipping adds about $17. Stock is limited.
These are some phenomenal headphones (Sennheiser’s top-of-the-line) with a list price of $450. Brick-and-mortar audio shops typically sell them for about $350. The coupon (to get to $188) expires March 21st, but even $198 is not a bad price. As recently as a couple years ago, even a used pair near the $200-mark was considered a good buy.
And, for what it’s worth, the HD-600s even better through a headphone amplifier such as a HeadRoom Max (receivers and especially PCs often have weak headphone outputs). And, yes, I have one of each ;).
Damn.
You’re really tempting my to spend $200 that I don’t really have. Though, assuming that I can get a job reasonably soon, I might be able to pick a pair up. I love my B-D 990 DTs (which I got from your brother), but after listening to his HDs, there’s nothing else I want for mixing/mastering.
Perhaps it should be noted that one can get HD-600s for $180 any time of the year in Germany. In fact you could probably get them shipped to the US for $200 with a little knowledge of German.
