Do always have to pay import tax when you order from US?
It it slips pass the officials or mule brings it, no.
Other than that yes…
Guys I have a question. Price of headphones have gone to their initial msrp from various manufacturers. Drop headphone went full price again hd6xx, hd58x, he4xx. Beyerdynamic headphones like dt1990 up to 550-600. Dt1770 was 380$ in amazon, now 420$. Sennheiser, well out of stuck and full price. Do you think this will be temporary or while we get out of the covid-19, or while sellers get more supplies from suppliers ( if they make any this past month).
Sennheiser G4me One’s on local Gigantti store. 99€.
That’s like 108$. Had to order a pair.
My guess is manufacturing has stopped or significantly slowed and stock may be getting lower
Guitar Center is having an overstock sale including:
iRig Mic HD $70 (down from $100)
Beyerdynamic Custom i $45 (down from $80)
Audiotechnica M8000 dynamic mic $30 (down from $80)
Yeah, there are some things that prices are going funny on right now. I’ve noticed webcams and game console controllers are pricing really high right now. I think as there are high demands for certain items and also manufacturing shortages we’ll see some interesting pricing going on. Probably not a lot of sales, but who knows.
I got this a bit late but the Blon B20’s are back up for sale at Drop. Only 2 days left though 350$
Moon Audio has a open box/b-stock/demo headphon sale, also some DACS and Amps here:
DROP + MRSPEAKERS ETHER CX CLOSED HEADPHONES 750$
Looks like the Rhythm Beige KPH30i’s are in stock - I know people have said it’s hard for them to get that color. I snagged a pair!
Review makes them look pretty solid. Excepting comfort it seems like they’re a really solid pair of cans.
The comparison to the sundaras is what sold me on em
I mean… it looks like the grey KPH30is from the 90s… in a home where someone smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day since the 90s
Not for me lol, enjoy
Wow. supposed to be better than the Sundara’s? But its 500$. The Sundara 350$
399 here:

339 with the code:
Mini DSP ears RAW graph from head-fi:
So, sundaras are definitely better for the 10khz+ treble if you want “harman neutral” or “airy”.
4Khz peak to me looks like grado-ish treble murder.
um, the pair of pm-50s is $420 total (including shipping), the sundaras I own were $390 total. I think that’s a reasonable comparison. More money does not always guarantee it’s better either. Is it wrong to be slightly impressed or excited that the reviews so far say that the pm-50s (who are solidly in the sundara comparison price bracket) sound ‘better’ than the cans I currently own? That dripping sarcasm was a bit uncalled for lol
All I’m reporting is what I read. I have no other experience with the headphones. I’ll give as best a comparison as I can when I get them. I’m just excited that a team in massachusetts has built a possible sundara competitor in the same price bracket.
Well the team working for Andover seem to be pretty experienced.
