Can you elaborate on this? I didn't get in on that refurb MSR7 deal, but I'm considering it if it comes up again.

There have been some cases in the past as well, but this was the most recent one

EDIT: There were buyers who had no problems with them though, so the one affected is probably unlucky I guess. But it still seems ****ty. Just be wary though.

Focus camera is generally not an authorized dealer of the headphones they sell (double check when you buy), so there may be no manufacturer warranty. Also, relatively low rating for the store:

FWIW...I had these same concerns when I was l in the market for T1's and Focus had them for $629.

I ended up buying them from Sonic Electronix. They matched the price and I like to support firms that support Head-Fi.


That said, I pinged Beyer to see if Focus was an Authorized Dealer; indeed they were...response below.

Hello Scott,

Focus Camera is in fact an Authorized beyerdynamic Dealer and can provide a warranty on T1’s and various beyerdynamic products.
Our dealer listing on our website is under construction and will be updated in August. Once the update occurs there will be no more confusion.

5 months to update a friggin' web site? You gotta be kidding me. Germans are typically not known to be slow - they are very, very thorough but they are also much more efficient than other peoples. 5 months - I wouldn't hold my breath....
 
Cheers.

In beyer's defense, Focus is listed on their current page. Just because they are a distributer, however, doesn't forgive their dismal rating on ResellerRating

  Refurb MSR7 at Focus for $100: http://www.focuscamera.com/audio-technica-ath-msr7bk-sonicpro-over-ear-high-resolution-audio-headphones-refurbished.html

This deal looks to be back on.  Just ordered a pair.
 
***EDIT*** Nevermind, it looks like they're back up to $179.  Can anyone else confirm?  I just ordered one for $99 and the then I clicked the link again and the deal seems to be over.

Great find. Big difference. The BuyDig ones are new, will full warranty.  BuyDig I have purchased from with great results. They also have a very high rating.

First link was new too, it was from authorized dealer with full warranty.

 
But these listings are not for the MSR7
