remember its the HD25 not the HD25sp you are after.

Check out chemical, they usually can land them here for bout 230 - 260. Given thats lower than wholesale here is Aus, I doubt whether you would find a better price.

Cheers

Beyer-dynamic just released a set of headphones that they claim will rival the HD25's.... turned up today at work, yet to give them a test run..... maybe tomorrow.

That pricing is fucking rediculous. My mates currently ahve the same problem but he is used to the sonys and will be jsut buying a new pari of ebay on the cheap.

I guess This is why the sennheisers are so attractive and so many people use them. I reckon its about 2 in 3 djs in the dnb scene use them. You dont seee many touring djs who dont. FUck Sony and their corporate greed. Guess they dont make enough money in all their other ventures and have to rip of their customers on the other end of the market place in spare parts.

Are you sure they're HD25 or are they HD25SP?

you can get the sps off chemical for about 160 plus shipping, doesnt seem unreasonable for the hds to be available for under 350


edit: http://www.bangingtunes.com/products/headphones/

99 pounds = ~230 au$

max shipping is about 30 pounds/70 au$ for fed ex, cheaper options available

$300 hds are definitely possible

looks like i might be making a move away from the sony mdr's to sennheiser hd's. would stick with the sony's, but reckon the difference in quality from the sony's is prob not as big a difference to warrant buying a whole new pair each time they break, to the replaceable parts of the sennies.

thats a good price too khem - found a US site with same price

http://www.lcdtvs.com/lcd/Product.asp_X_SKU_Y_HD25 US$177, bout AUD$240

not dealing with these guys now. they wont accept credit cards from outside europe and i would have to do a telegraphic transfer direct from my bank account. they wont give their account number, which according to the bank may mean that the transaction wont go through and ill still be charged my transfer fee by the bank here, and possibly some fees by their bank.

all good - chemical have them for 97pound at the moment

Mate with all these recommendations I'm thinking bout getting some of these hd25's....chemrecs is all sold out with the 97 quid deal but found some on amazon at $179.95 USD - factor in about $10 USD for shipping thats about $250 oz money....hmmm
