Hey Everyone,
Thanks for your interest in this drop! As stated in the note, these units are considered B-Stock. Here’s the official statement from AKG:
“Due to a forthcoming packaging change, AKG has deemed the product as B Stock”
So basically, these were sitting in a warehouse, waiting to be sold, then someone within AKG decided they needed to update the packaging for this headphone. These units have never been opened, returned, scratched, dented, or anything else. Thier packaging is out of date, that’s it.
Rather than ship these back to China, have the packaging replaced, then shipping them back to the states, AKG has offered these units to our community at an incredibly low price. These are covered by a full manufacturer’s warranty.
This is a unique situation and I expect there are questions, respond to my comment and I’ll get you an answer.
WillSo do we have confirmation that these are indeed the more durable revision? I plan to take these on a 16hr flight and then through the rest of my trip, so durability is a big issue for me. Other than that, I'm sold! Thanks in advance :)
