are you sure the MSRP is 400$?! I can get the same headphones for €133, which is just above 145$, in any online store... Same thing with the audiotechnica headphones, the drop price is above the price I can get them for online in any other store...
nick_mazzaraThe Beyerdynamic official site has the 600ohm version for €199. Still, at checkout, the price doesn't change depening on the version you choose; 32, 250 and 600 ohm are all the same price.
Pant0donThese are the Premium model not the Pro model. Premium ones have less band clamping pressure, different cup outer and different adjustments. Other than that they're basically the same but if you like the premium's style and want them in black, then they might be for you. Premiums are about $50-80 more that the pros generally. If you have a big head , the less clamping pressure, the better imo. The sound might not be for everyone with these though.
MantzyAUSI have a really big head, the pros have so little clamping force as it is that it's a negligible difference, and it's literally a £15 price difference between the pro and premium versions on Amazon. This drop is crazy expensive
