Sick and tired of fakes?

It’s sad that there are so many fakes flooding the market now. Every time I see a good bargain or deal, I can’t help but ask the question: are they real? Well, with a trusted merchant like earphonesolutions.com you don’t have to worry about all that nonsense. You know when you buy form them; you’re getting the real thing. Sure the prices might be at the regular retail price, but at the moment earphonesolutions are having a few coupon deals, so you can now save yourself a bit of money. It’s worth paying extra for the knowledge that what you’ve bought is the genuine and the sound you’re hearing is genuine.

AKG have redesignated their line of headphones, with K-24P becoming K-412P, K-26P K-414P, and K-27I K-416P.

The portable headphones have also lost their original colour schemes, repainted in dull greys.

But, luckily for those still craving the silver/black/yellow K-24P, they’re on sale from a few EBay stores, and for a good price too (it seems the release of “new” models by AKG has automatically discounted the “older’ twenty-series headphones).

K-24P are on sale from Rize Electronics and somewhat inapproriately named “Sony Items” EBay stores, each store selling them for US$17 (minus a few cents), plus shipping. And they ship worldwide. This is very cheap for headphones which are superior to AKG’s Germanic rival Sennheiser PX100. And a complete bargain for the kind of sound these small headphones can provide.
The K-24P is a direct competitor to Sennheiser PX100 and Koss Porta-Pro; it has a fuller, more lively sounding than the PX100 (the PX100 has that penchant for killing ambience and life in a record, making it sound like a combination of instruments rather than a musical performance), and more detailed than the Koss Porta-Pro. K-24P are foldable, just like the PX100 and Porta-Pro. A carry pouch is part of the package. Folded, they’re about the size of a small digital audio player (a bit smaller than folded sunglasses). Those are excellent small headphones with a cheerful, even bright, sound signature which were preferred to the K-240 Studio by some classical music lovers.

Generally regarded as superior to the PX100 and (especially) PX200 (which are quite a bit of shame to Sennheiser it seems), the K-27I are the closed counterpart to the K-24P. They certainly sound more muffled and more bassy than the K-24P (though that’s often considered a plus), but unlike the Sennheiser PX200, the K-27I also have an excellent seal and sound isolation. In an “inexpensive closed headphones” competition, the K-27I would win, together with Pioneer SE-MJ3B. They are also sold as the JBL 410 in the USA. K-27I are a modification of the K-26P with a built-in volume control (which although a potential source of distortion, some people like as it removes the need to reach for the player’s volume control).

Cheapest EBay price for the K-27I is $34, from Audio-Video Systems.

The New Denon AH-D501 Are On Order……

And they’re not speeding their way to me… blast. They’re going to Aenn for review… …lucky guy! So watch out for the new Denon AH-D501 review coming soon. Unfortunately I didn’t specify a colour, so although you see an image of a black pair, they might not be black, but they’ll still be Denon’s and that’s fine by us.

iGrado For Over Double The U. S. Price

Anyone familiar with headphonedeals.org knows how enthusiastic we are about the Grado iGrado. Far better than the Sennheiser twins in every area. Far better, and more controlled bass, pin-sharp midrange, and a nice top end. However when I first saw this bid (click the link), I was fuming at why people were bidding so high.

After a quick bit of research on google.de, I quickly realized that on the continent, the RRP for the Grado is 78 euros. If You have a quick check on any currency converter, (today’s exchange rate) that’s equal to $115.519 or £58.467. Now, that’s expensive in anyone’s book!

So what can we do to help our fellow European headphone enthusiasts? So far, i’m not sure, because this is my first day on the case, but I’m going to try an find a price deal or a merchant that’ll ship to Europe, to try and get the cost down. I bought mine from www.iheadphones.co.uk for around £29.99, if my memory serves me right.

To anyone living on the European Continent, so far the best deal I can find is from iheadphones, and it’ll cost £42.98 including shipping, which is a saving of around £15.48 or just over 20.00 euros. It’s a start! I’ll keep onto it, but if you are having trouble getting what you think is a reasonable price, then contact us on the forum.

As for those bidding on these, I wish you the best of luck, they are fabulous headphones.

Good deal better!

ultimate-ears-metrofi-2.jpg

Yes, there’s a good deal, for my new favorite Metro.fi 2’s (you can catch the review here). if you Live in the U.S. then amazon will be a good place to start, when looking for a pair of UE Metro.fi 2 earpones. For those of us not fortunate to be able to cash in on the amazon.com deals, there’s always ebay.

So no one has bid so far, and there’s a few days left. Most people go for the Super.fi range, and the baby Metro.fi’s usually don’t get a second look, which is fine. Less competition for bidders! Grab yourself a great deal now! I’d recommend them over the popular V-Moda Vibes…. you’ll readd t in the review, just buy them!

Deal of the Day, Deal of the Year more like!

No biding, it’s a “buy it now” offer.

Get yourself along to the forum quickly because you do not want to miss out on this deal, especially of you live outside the U.S. That’s all I’m going to say.

Oh, and one more thing. If these aren’t gone in 48 hours (I thought I’d give you a head start) then my credit card is coming out!

Another Ultimate Ears deal for UK headphoners

Someone out there, really loves us at Headphonedeals

Over at AVForums, some poor person has just bought a pair of Skullcandy GI’s for £29.99 from play.com; not that there’s anything wrong with ordering from play.com, however I do have an issue with Skullcandy. Shame, because of the brand new Denon AH-D301 for around £25, which might be a wiser purchase.

The other suggestion is the Metro.fi 2 that are now going for under £30 at amazon.co.uk. That’s another good deal, but as I always say, get your money out quickly before the deal goes!

One pair was used for testing, the other pair has slight damage to the box, but neither reason is a bad thing. There’s no way I’d part with my metro.fi’s for less than £30.
