    3 drivers, good for gaming.

    Deal's Over Now Though.

    I actually got a pair even though I already have one, just as a spare.

    More than half. I also got $50 rebate which came out a few days later so my total came out less than $50.

    I got them for $50.00 also last year but that was a luck thing.

    The rebate was not supposed to stack with the $100 price :D

    I think the last year was the pro model with fixed cable, this time its the kind with the removable cable.

    Im thinking of sending them out to a local company here in Florida based on a head-fi thread to have them custom molded to my ears since I have 2 pairs now.

    Great headphones, but not a very comfortable fit. Had them earlier this summer, but traded them when I got a pair of westone um3x's.

    Did you change the tips? I like the soft foam tips with those they both sounded better and were very comfortable for me.

    The drivers were just too gargantuan and I have pretty big ears. I tried the flip connection and different types of tips, but there was no way for me to justify keeping them over the um3x. The um3xs are by far the most comfortable IEMs I've ever owned. But don't get me wrong, they're still excellent headphones, especially for $100-150. A big plus is the removable cables.

    Yeah the deal died it was just a gold box special so those specials only last for one day or less. Maybe we should change the thread title so that nobody gets confused.

    I have a feeling many of these will show up for sale @ $150.00 from the people that bought 4+ pairs of them with intent to resell, so thats a lot better than the $400 MSRP and $300 Street Price.
