Well, right now these are a pretty good deal from what I could find. I found some between $450-500 at the lowest price.

andrew.bprice fluctuates regularly between 350 and 500 . If you check Amazon you'd notice it's not even listed at the moment.
P.S - Most people get these from the Yahoo Japan auction site. Can find them for as low as 300 , and quite often.

LQDForceI did check on amazon. They are there, just not listed as w1000x (for $500).
How does this auction site work? Does it mean they are used headphones?

andrew.bIt's just like ebay, except you need a middleman to bid/order (if you're outside of Japan). Used, new, like-new, etc.

andrew.bIt's kinda like craigslist, if you're asking this then I guess you should look elsewhere.
I got mine for 400 shipped , bought it a couple of months ago from a reputable online store in the U.S .
Here's hoping that the price could be further lowered if more people commit.

LQDForceYeah, I was eyeing them at that price too, coming from a pair of AD700s I got while in university, was curious about upgrading.
Here's hoping they don't go lower...I have no self-control :(
edit: might as well ask, what's your impression on them?

silloverall fantastic 'fun' cans, very musical and lively, they excelling in acoustic instruments. one of the best closed-back headphones out there. mids are great but really forward. kinda warm but balanced sound, great bass presence but still very detailed.
Had to switch out the earpads though, they get really uncomfortable after a while. I suggest getting REAL leather pads instead. HP-L3000 or L5000 are made by audio-technica for the higher end models and fit perfectly, if expensive ($100 . but half the price if you buy from Japan)

LQDForceInteresting, I didn't realize the pads weren't that great...
Any idea if the MrSpeakers Alpha Pads will fit these?

NinjaPirateno idea, they are quite unique in dimensions so i doubt it. try them on for a while after you get them, then decide if you'd like to replace the pads.
you can get them from audiocubes2 (super expensive) http://www.audiocubes2.com/product_info.php/cPath/27/products_id/458 http://www.audiocubes2.com/product_info.php/cPath/27/products_id/483 - or from some japanese vendors for half the price (don't know about shipping costs though) http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/acgearsjapan/hp-l3000.html http://www.soundhouse.co.jp/shop/ProductDetail.asp?Item=158%5EHPL3000%5E%5E also audio-technica japan- http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/atj/support/repair/repair_show.php?modelId=2130&repairMode=on

LQDForceInstead of paying $100 for a set of leather pads make your own imo surely materials aren't that expensive

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
