Monoprice has a whole bunch of sales; right now the AMT are listed at $600. Does anyone know what the lowest price these have hit on the site?

Lowest price I've seen is when I got my set for $275. The average low I've seen is between $400 to $500.

Very recently was $600 minus 30% coupon

August had some lower price for open box

so Monoprice says they could replace IF they had another open-box
my left ear might be some problem, or was the headphone...not able to get much second opinion currently
some cosmetic condition and the warranty is 5 year
so since Monoprice has no open-box currently, i could just see if this pair holds up.

really wondering how i can compare the tuning properly to another pair
since i had a pair last month I returned
i'm trying to record these on a microphone but it's not turning out very well
these do sound better than last month's, but whether it's the tuning itself or broken in more

last month's just a couple hours i tested them
sounded horrid if i remember correctly
this new pair, doesn't even need EQ? wow.

Well this is curious, a ribbon headset with wired/wireless options

They've gotta be up there with the best for $275, I'm jealous. Need to pickup a bargain next time they drop to that I think....

I think the $275 price was for an Open Box

It was for Open Box, but my box came with the factory circle stickers intact and I honestly could find no signs of prior use.

It really was such a great deal at that price, and I wish I'd enjoyed them, but they just didn't work for me. I ended up selling them on for around what I paid + shipping to the buyer. He however enjoys them alot.

I like the one I got sounds better than the previous
Maybe they need broken in more
These are better than lcd-xc in some ways

I honestly wouldn't mind picking this up. Only other headphone drivers I have left to try are ribbons and estats (since I got the monolith AMTs last month ). Afaik there's no intermediate step between these sineaptics and stuff like GL1200/Raal territory...a decent jump in price not including a different amp for the latter.

Not sure what all that means, but is there any e-stat for decent price? Relatively...

Monoprice used to make one? Discontinued...

Kaldas RR1 Conquest is $500 and Nectar HiveX is $650. Topping EHA5 is an energizer for $399 (although I have never tried the EHA5).

STAX Lambda SR-L300 are $455 brand new from HeadAmp or Audio46. I drive mine with the $399 Topping EHA5 at the office and a used STAX SRM-1 MK2 Pro I bought on eBay for $400 as my home energizer.

Just noting that the Monolith AMT is still $599 at monoprice.com. I wonder if this will be the regular price moving forward?
