The Sony MDR-MA900 would be a great pic for budget (MSRP $299) high-end gaming headphones.<br /><br />The soundstage and imaging is superb because of the massive 70mm drivers.<br /><br />It helps with games where you need to determine which direction something is coming from.<br /><br />They're also extreeeeemely light for having earpads this large, which makes them comfortable for many hours of extended wear.<br /><br />Check out the head-fi.org threads and Amazon.com reviews. It's gotten rave reviews.<br /><br />http://www.head-fi.org/t/663121/sony-mdr-ma900-appreciation-thread<br />http://www.head-fi.org/t/603937/sony-mdr-ma-900-new-release-from-sony<br />http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRMA900-Over-Style-Headphones/product-reviews/B007DCCK60/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1<br /><br />

Chief Product OfficerHello Everyone! <br /><br />We're glad to offer the SoundMAGIC HP100 as a low end audiophile headphone.

I'm surprised to see the HP100 being offered, especially after I read about the 200-unit MOQ. I am glad to see it though. I did get in on the Fidelio X1 deal, so I have to think hard about whether to spend more for the HP100. Real tempting though.
I'm Definitely interested in the Fidelio X1's as well. :D

Chief Product OfficerHello Everyone! <br /><br />Good news and bad news. Bad news is that the DT770 Pro 80ohm is discontinued, MOQ (minimum order quantity) for the SoundMAGIC HP100 is ~200 units, Sennheiser isn't interested in working with the group, and Sony's prices aren't good enough to make a drop possible.<br /><br />Good news is that we've successfully sourced the Philips Fidelio X1. We can list it for $189 + Shipping if you're interested. It's a really impressive headphone according to the reviews we've read on amazon and head-fi so let us know if you're interested. We can launch the buy within a couple hours of your confirmation. <br /><br />Let us know and we'll make it happen : D

How long until the voting is over?

Maybe there would be more room to negotiate the price on the DT770 32 Ohm?
Why are there so many headphones way above the $200 limit?
I am pretty interested in the Soundmagics. <br /><br />@ Will curious to see if you guys reached out to the company. I wonder if they would be willing to give a good discount given they are only sold through third-party re sellers here in the U.S and have no other distribution.

I'm also interested in the SoundMAGIC HP100. I've read a lot of good things about these headphones over at head-fi. I was thinking of buying them on Amazon, but would get them here instead at a discount. I think SoundMAGIC is a smaller company with limited exposure here in the US. Might be easier to work with than with the bigger companies.

The m50 can often be gotten for $120 here http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATH-M50<br />it used to go as low as $100, but it seems to have raised in price in response to high demand.Currently it's $119 after the rebate. So i think you'd have to do better than $129.

They used to be some of the best cans for the money back in the day. For $100 they were damn hard to beat. They are pretty lacking in detail, and are pretty bass heavy. I got my first pair of open cans a few months ago, AT ad900's, which are totally on the opposite end of the spectrum. A bit lacking in the bass, but the soundstage and detailing is way above the m50's. I don't think i'll go back to closed cans any time soon.

ad900 is inferior to fidelio x1 from my audition. i bought the ad900 after my dismay on the he500 after being one of the first reader on the first day of Davidmahler's post, I even shared it on some other forums first.<br /><br />i have about 50 hours on ad900 and 150 on fidelio x1.

Chief Product OfficerHello Everyone! <br /><br />In a sudden and exciting turn of events, we may be able to offer the Audiotechnica M50 for ~$129 to your door in america. Is that something you'd be interested in? <br /><br />We're working on the DT770s but none of the prices we've got would be worth offering. Same goes for the Sony headphones. Sennheiser isn't interested in working with you right now. We're still talking with Shure but no word so far. <br /><br />Let us know what you think of that M50 price and we'll do our best to get it launched!

Thats about ~$20 discount. They are a great set of cans.
MSRP is $300 on the K550, but it is $250 on amazon, steadily. AKG likes to market high, but sell low.
I added the AKG K550. I don't know how it wasn't there earlier.
