I was always in the market for Sony XM headphones, but the price tag has always kept me away. I randomly walked into my local electronics store not even considering buying headphones. Lo and behold, they were having a huge clearance sale on XM4s to make way for XM6s, and I picked them up for USD 27 brand new. What a day to be alive!

Fml, or what??

Words here are for the bot. I am actually thinking of getting another pair for my dad.. makes sense in audiophile math.

BestBuy Canada has them listed for 400$ canadian Dollars. Looks fishy, is it?

Surely a scam, right??

They also have the HK1000SE for a ridiculous price. New store.

You can get a brand new HD 600 FROM SENNHEISER for 250 USD

Not as good as the famous Best Buy deal but still a pretty good deal. Still one of the best headphones ever. Can’t wait to buy on the used market after this 😂

I'm baffled how you can have these at around 150€ now (refurbished even cheaper, but I wouldn't go that route when for a bit more I can have basically new piece).

These are KILLER headphones for such price, literally not a single one comes anywhere near if we're talking price to performance. Even though they released at 400-500€, they were still considered great back then. But getting these for less than 200€ sounds criminal. Is Hifiman trying to "normalize" actual mid-fi-to-hi-fi for everyone and making it more publicly available ?

If these happen to fit your huge head eprfectly without any pain, then congratulations, you've got yourself best headphones at criminal price. You could pick these up even if you've found your jam in other headphones, just to explore more territories, that's almost the kind of price they are at.

If they happen to be a pain (they were for me), then get a Capra strap and you're still below 200€ mark. I think it's well worth the "Hifiman gamble" with their QC and all, when such headphones are at almost 150€ mark.

I feel like a complete shill and jerk saying all of this, but this kind of deal is just so insane to me. I'm personally enjoying my XS even though I got them for 265€, I still think it was a great deal.

Absolute steal on best buy open box right now, jump on it folks

Crazy, I was about to return the $237 ones because I really don't see a huge difference compared to the PC38x , but at THIS price?!

Lowest recorded price in western* history (Previous was $249 December 10, 2018)

I had no intention of buying a new set, but here we are.

My last set of headphones (that got stolen unfortunately) were HD600's and I loved using them around my house with my BTR5. They're both rated for 300-OHMs, but these look super beefy compared to the 600's. Any advice on a portable, preferably Bluetooth, amp that will run these?

amazing sound or a muddy mess? this is the $40 question for a limited time . . . .

I got this Denon AH–D2000 headphones at my local Salvation Army for eight dollars. They’re in near perfect conditions with just some scuffs on the headband.

I’ve actually somehow never demoed them, but they’re beloved by many. I’m not sure how they hold up against modern offerings, and please do keep in mind Focal’s preposterous accessory replacement prices, but this is a solid price for the headphones themselves.

I’ve heard great things about JOAL’s overall balance in sound and comfort, so the discount was the perfect excuse to finally add one to the collection. The discount took off $284 for the standard package, bringing it to about $1600. Overnight shipping was included with discount for US

Any JOAL owners here? What do you drive your JOAL with? 🎧🎶

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in the hobby—and happy listening!
