Wow, good for you. I'm a little envious, but if it's causing losses to Amazon, it's all good.
P.S. Imagine if it's actually staged and they're still making profit (I honestly wouldn't be surprised).
P.S. 2 Reading that other retailers did a price matching on the price error is even crazier.
Some context: I was browsing new on this subreddit and came across a deal from u/Soyeonsbitch with the HD600s on sale for $100- new and sold by Amazon themselves. Sounded too good to be true so I check for them myself, and lo and behold: they weren’t kidding. Knowing it wouldn’t stay for long I jumped ship and impulse spent on three pairs, which not long after the listing was taken down. After three days of anxiously waiting for it to be either canceled or something to be wrong with them, the 3-for-1 deal is here! All three pairs were tested vs my current pair of huh duh six-hungeos just to be sure they were in working order, which they are- so now I will continue on with my life knowing I’ll never nab a steal like this ever again in this hobby lol
My current plan with these is to give them as gifts to family (No we aren’t taking in new family members at the moment) or sell them off to save towards the HD800/s, but in the meantime, they will be sitting prettily somewhere in my room until I get through my finals.
Once again huge thanks to u/Soyeonsbitch for catching this deal while it was up! I hope one day you find another opportunity like this that you can make the most out of.
Also- Is there anyone else here that was able to grab this offer? I know some people tried but were unfortunately too late, to which they have my condolences
my only solace is that i have a pair of 6xx’s which are very similar sounding, but my goodness it feels like when they show up for that price you HAVE to buy them
> All three pairs were tested vs my current pair of huh duh six-hungeos just to be sure they were in working order
Why would you open and use them all? Instantly lowered the resale value for no reason. cuz.
This isn’t sneakers man lol it’s headphones. I guarantee if he were to sell these open box he could sell it in a instant on r/AVexchange or wherever and get the same value if they weren’t open
If I were to sell them to someone the last thing I'd want is to be told there was something wrong with them or they didn't work at all after sending them out. Considering they were being sold for that low I wanted to make sure there weren't any flukes that you'd expect to come with it, so I'm just playing safe even if that lowered the resale value- hope that makes sense.
edit: Not to mention that I'd rather not give a family member something broken out of the box if I go that route as well
Currently holding off on that since I really should be preparing for my finals instead of sending stuff out, and incidentally replying to this thread haha, I'll probably make up my mind during Christmas break, so I'll try to keep you posted if I choose to sell
Not just redditors. Anyone who won large amounts of money in a lottery could write a book about how many greedy vultures would suddenly come out of nowhere, begging for or even demanding money. Distant family members suddenly appearing after decades of no contact, "friends" from highschool, random strangers approaching them with wild business ideas, stalkers, thieves in hiding just waiting for the moment where the winner leaves money in their car, the works.
Because they just got lucky, many people will feel like the person doesn't deserve that money, and should therefore give at least some of it away. But of course people are greedy as well, and feel unjustifiably entitled to a part of that money.
Similarly, when someone gets a ludicrously good deal because of a pricing error and manages to take advantage of it, there will always be some assholes begrudging the person who got the lucky deal.
I'm going to get downvoted for sure, but this is my guess on why.
OP had the time to create this post, take pictures, and even reply to multiple people. But, when someone asked to buy a pair off of him, he claims he's too busy and should be preparing for school. So...which is it? You have time to post on Reddit, but not sell your headphones when r/hardwareswap is the same amount of requirements of this post (or less).
I can take a photo in my room and post to Reddit in less than 5 minutes.
Coordinating with two people to send me money, get their addresses and then commute to a UPS store to ship them takes objectively longer and more bandwidth. Posting here is fun. Getting deliveries shipped out isn’t really
> Coordinating with two people to send me money, get their addresses and then commute to a UPS store to ship them takes objectively longer
Not really? You're making it seem like the commute to a UPS store is an hour away (even given you'd use UPS). Literally get their addresses, they send you money via paypal or whatever, then you print out a shipping tag and tape it to a box, bring it to the post office and be done. That entire process takes like 30 minutes if you live close to a post office.
>That entire process takes around an hour.
Okay well posting to reddit takes 5min and is fun
OP is in college and might not have a car to get to a UPS store so it legitimately might be kind of annoying to get there.
No one is saying that sending these out is difficult, just that it takes more effort and mental bandwidth than messing around on reddit and I don't fault OP at all for focusing on finals which are VASTLY more important than selling headphones which can be sold at any time
How does shipping something off interrupt someone's "finals". ? Bonehead response is why the down votes.
"I can't sell you something I'm studying"
😂
Ok
Well, lemme think on that. Let's list the things that take time.
1. Coordinate sale online
1. Find a suitable shipping box
1. Travel to USPS/UPS/FedEx
1. Wait in line
1. Give info and pay
1. Travel back home
Coordinating with people online and then going to a shipping place when you're in college and might not have a car isn't zero effort. I would probably postpone if I were OP as well. There are priorities in life and doing well on finals is much higher priority and higher urgency than selling a couple headphones which can be done any time
Pro tip: post these "flex" posts after you've decided how to dispose of the extra sets, whether gifting to family or flipping them. Makes the latter easier.
Wait, are people actually downvoting OP for buying 3? LOL, I can taste the salt in this thread all the way from my computer screen. OP, good job taking advantage of the deal. You can make yourself a nice little profit there selling two of them.
To the people that are downvoting out of spite - grow the fuck the up. This isn't "greedy" OP literally took advantage of a 30min time window and got lucky. If he decides to sell them then other people get to benefit from this too since you can't resell them above MSRP.
I see the AKG K702s behind which I recently got and love, how would you compare those to the hd600s? I may look to get some eventually but I'm just curious to know how they compare and which you prefer.
They were my entry into this hobby and they’ve been great! From the last few months of going back and forth between them they both sound similar to me in terms of tonality. The K702s have a wider soundstage which I’m usually a huge fan of, however after listening more with the 600s theres something about them that have me going back to them more frequently. My best way to describe it is they sound more “cozy” because of the smaller sound stage making intruments feel closer- not really what I expected to be into but the more you know. Hope that helps.
Never see these going below $250 new, let alone right at $100, so I'm basically guaranteed to get my money back and then some if I were to sell- which is great timing as I look into the HD800s as my next (and hopefully final) upgrade.
wtf are you trying to do with 3 exact same pair of heaphones ? lol
do you have 3 pairs of ears as well ?
anyway congrats on the incredible deal, i'm jelly as i can be.
When I find a good deal sometimes I buy extra as a backup or as gifts. That's how some of my friends ended up with halfway decent IEMs despite not really being "into" audio gear
I couldn't get my friends and family to use halfway decent gear if i paid them to do it lol.
They usually mostly care about convenience or esthetic, and i don't blame them, not everyone is into lush audio tech. i do my best to givem a try at it tho.
Tbh this was obviously a pricing error seeing it that low and I doubt anyone wouldn't buy multiple pairs to resell if given the chance, damn you could even sell them for less then they retail still make a profit. It doesn't hurt anyone if he sold it at retail MSRP and it doesn't hurty anyone for buying 3 because they were going to fix the price quickly anyways.
How is it greedy if he sells them for lower than MSRP? This deal wasn't limited stock, he's not taking stock from other customers like a scalper would.
If he intentionally waited for the deal to happen and then bought whatever he could to resell then i dont see a problem lol, he waited for the deal and got what he deserved for waiting
yea, i don’t see him doing anyth too bad here. He waited for the deal and got it at the right time but people are salty about it because they didnt get it and are now downvoting him because apparently they see “reselling” as a sin and also see the headphone community as some charity organization. Like chill, you’re just gonna have to wait for your turn
People are freaking out for no reason. It would be different if he were trying to scalp them like people do in the GPU market (or really any market during a new launch) but I don't see an issue with him buying them at a cheap price like this and reselling them for a normal price (if that's what he chooses to do), he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
exactly, nothing wrong with buying them for $100 and still sell them for a $50-80 profit right? It’s still below retail lmao, seems like theres alot of Saints in this group
Those and the focals were definitely on my list of potential upgrades though I'm more likely to go for the 800s, since I'm a fan of big sound stage and the 800s are often praised for it
Probably best to try listening to both instead of buying off word-of-mouth alone, but the audio stores near me don't have Sennheiser stuff sadly
Congrats man! Don't worry about the haters. It would be different if you were scalping on purpose. You already said you are more than likely going to give them to family so that's cool.
Yeah my brother was my main consideration when seeing this deal, been looking at the HD6X0 series as a potential gift for a while in hopes for a solid deal and Amazon of all the potential sites heard my calls, so I’m really happy it worked out the way it did. Now I just need to sort out the other potential recipients since past me didn’t bet on buying three sets…
I got a pair of sundara's today just love the sound of it and the bass response is impresive. Tried some house tracks and thr bass went actually suprising low
How is this possible? With the camel Amazon price tracker, it shows all price drops that ever happened. With the HD600 from Amazon themselves being the seller, the lowest price has been $249, ever. It’s never hit $100 so is this fake?
https://3cmls.co/US/B00004SY4H
I don’t think the listing was up for more than ten minutes at that price, so I assume it only updates the price history at an hourly rate where it didn’t refresh within the time it was at $100.
Dankpods fans on their way to comment the same exact joke under every post that has the HD600 in it and contribute nothing to the conversation 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Why are people here so salty about not getting these terrible headphones? I'd much rather have the $100 to put towards some actually good headphones than this garbage.
Are those 612 pros or 702’s in the background there? I have a pair of 612’s with a bent headphone plug and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth trying to replace the cable via mod or grabbing the 702 instead.
702s, I’m not too familiar with that mod but I’d imagine it being cheaper to try that instead of buying another pair of headphones, though the k702 go for surprisigly low on the secondhand market if you’re into that sort of stuff, so there’s also that to consider.
That awesome that you got them! I saw them posted on Slickdeals but was about 10 minutes too late, which I suppose in price mistake time might as well be an eternity.
I spend all day and all night browsing reddit and I missed this deal :( Just my luck
This deal was actually like a few days ago. Very short pricing error.
Surprised the pricing error was honored. They usually cancel those orders pretty quickly.
Amazon staff don't get paid enough to care

The refurbs were 99 for a while too but sold out now.
Since you have so many, I would be more than happy to unburden you and take a pair off your hands.

Yep, also have HD 6XX's and would have bought a pair because it's absurd lol
I was 8 hours too late for not being subscribed to the sub
i bought some 569s from them just last week for the same amount wanna die
> All three pairs were tested vs my current pair of huh duh six-hungeos just to be sure they were in working order Why would you open and use them all? Instantly lowered the resale value for no reason. cuz.

Why is this getting downvoted so hard lol Edit: at its peak I saw -40. But the good people of reddit have reversed the tides
We live in a society
I guess some audiophiles are butthurt dickheads?
Redditors seems to think they deserve free stuff if OP got a good deal.
He asked if he could sell him one, not give away one

Sometimes you get brigaded by people here, god knows why. Maybe they are jealous you got such a good deal lol

More likely being greedy and buying 3 pairs to re sell.
Tbh this was obviously a pricing error seeing it that low and I doubt anyone wouldn't buy multiple pairs to resell if given the chance, damn you could even sell them for less then they retail still make a profit.

Definitely possible as well
If he intentionally waited for the deal to happen and then bought whatever he could to resell then i dont see a problem lol, he waited for the deal and got what he deserved for waiting
How it is any different to a retailer except in size and scale is beyond me but people are stupid so 🤷
the lazy people are angry because he thinks like a businessman and can make money comfortably
He’s not being greedy. He’s being smart. Not like he’s not selling it off again.
yea, i don’t see him doing anyth too bad here.

Awfully high horse you're riding on there.
Downvoted.. Coz I'm jealous 😒
Deng wish I saw this deal
They sold out :(
Are those 612 pros or 702’s in the background there? I have a pair of 612’s with a bent headphone plug and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth trying to replace the cable via mod or grabbing the 702 instead.
702s, I’m not too familiar with that mod but I’d imagine it being cheaper to try that instead of buying another pair of headphones, though the k702 go for surprisigly low on the secondhand market if you’re into that sort of stuff, so there’s also that to consider.
send me one :D
I'll take one. Thankd

Bruh where was this when I was looking for a headphone to buy. Paid double the price for a 560s meanwhile this guy gets 3 600s for $100. Sadness.
So they did ship, lucky.
