Enter code at checkout: CYBT3PPS

You are too good at finding this stuff.
-
Where did you find this code?
-
Even better deal - apply codes CYBT3PPS and PARAMORE (enter both, one at a time) and you get it down to $272!! Shipping is free.

That is insane!! Man I have to resist....I've been down the headphone/amp/dac/source rabbit hole before.....
2nd day air is only $14.75 :o
-
Great deal. Confirmed it works.
::EDIT:: missalaire I will never forgive you...

The code is now dead for me/friends

I am relieved in a weird way....I was all the way to final checkout and kept holding back.
Awesome deal for $319 and killer deal @ ~$275 if anyone got it at that!!
-
Code PARAMORE works for me and gives $74.99 off
Code CYBT3PPS comes up as "Invalid promo code" sadly.
I'm relieved as well, or I'd be sorely tempted! $275 is an excellent deal for these.
-
Is this the lowest price these headphones have ever been? Or has the price been similarly low before?
Edit: Neither promo code is working for me.

You can also use code DAYDREAMING but yeah it's for the best I didn't buy these :D

They've been around this price before. I think it's their holiday discounts.

TJ do you have an opinion on the HD650?
-
DAYDREAMING doesn't work for me either. Are they working for you guys right now?

The original coupon no longer works but the other two are but it's not really a buy for me at the higher price.

Yeah, it's not worth it now. Probably for the better. Although I needed a new pair / Christmas present. I'm sure we will see similarly low prices soon.

So it totally just clicked these are the 650s and not the 600s, which I haven't seen for this price, save used for a desperate seller.
Biggest difference between the two is the drivers are matched better for the 650s vs the 600s. Because of that, the 650s are a more engaging, but less "neutral" sound, which to my ear and brain is more enjoyable as I like a bit more emphasis on the things on the edges of my hearing range with a supreme level of detail. I'm also one to go for a more warm sounding headphone as well. The downside of this is you get to hear goofballs call 650s "more veiled" or whatever. As to the rest, they're comfortable, light and well built if not a little silly looking in terms of their paint job.
Even for the 320, this is a smoking price on good headphones as it brings it down into the range of things like the akg k550s, audio technica ath-a900x/ad900x and other inferior headphones. If I wasn't sold on what's on my head now or was in the market for another option or a good piece for a SO/loved one, I'd be all over this.
Point of fact, I've always wanted to love the 6xx line, but for the prices, I felt the competing planar options from hifiman and mr speakers were more my style. Then, I got a pair of hd800s and now I'm sennheiser only.

It looks like paramore and daydreaming are one in the same code, judging by the order offer: Order Offer: PARAMORE - DAYDREAMING - with Sennheiser

Seems like there is nothing even comparable to the HD 650s at a price of $279. I would have grabbed these. Sigh..
-
Cool, for the record earlier they were down to ~$272 and change shipped free but I passed.
I'm not ready to go down the headphone rabbit hole any time soon.
Many moon's ago I had HD600's and then an amp and then upgraded source etc, etc....
Right now with 2 small kids I haven't used a pair of headphones in almost 5 years for more than a few minutes, anyways maybe next time!
-
If anyone who got in on this deal is having buyer's remorse, let me know! Thanks. :)
-
Really sick deal for these, they however need a bit of amping to perform to their best.

Yep, that rabbit hole has fortunately hit a comfortable den for me with the hd800s/lyr/bifrost. I try not to look too much at alternatives any more.

SHHHH
SHHHHHH
Hush now.

I missed it. Darn!
If I could have gotten it at 275, I would have bought them.
Any chance for a second opportunity to get then at that price?

Hifiman sure sounds nice, they're just SO heavy!
Yep, this was an amazing deal, and I am sure whomever got theirs at this price enjoys them.
-
Such an amazing deal, made me go dig up my HD650 from the store. Good luck to all those who got the deal, hopefully they'll be honoured.

If you don't mind if they are worn once or twice... I may have a couple left over from this.
