I'm wondering if you got this bundled with the FiiO E10k with the BuyDig coupon from TechBargains? It seems a little disingenuous to claim you can get them for 50% of retail (though I'm really not sure where you got that number) if you're only talking about short term coupons and sales. Today TechBargains has a coupon for the HE-560 for $299 from Adorama, but the DT 1990 coupon is expired.OK, I got a pair for $499 with a bonus amp. Lets say were talking $400 for the phones alone. Im struggling, searching the depths of my brain to come up with a pair of $400 phones that can touch the DT1990. Further whenever I see a detailed comparison to these phones, Invariably, the target phones are always sub $1000 offerings due to the retail list of the DT1990. When you factor in what you can actually score a pair for (half retail), then we start approaching the definition of the term "game changer".
If I'm wrong here - prove it to me. Come up with a pair of phones that can be had for <$500 that can compare to the DT-1990. Short of the HD-600, I don't see too many rivals.
I'm waiting....
I'm not arguing that they aren't great headphones and hard to beat for the price, just that claiming rare sales and throwing out weird numbers isn't the way to measure their value.
Also, that video is surprisingly not grating, a rarity for video reviews not by Tyll Hertsens.
