Yeah, good call. Try www.froogle.com and see which ones will ship to Aus.

Even if they don't mention it on the site, just shoot em an email and they
generally play ball.

^^^ true, but the unlikelyness that they will break is so high that people would probaby rather take the chance and save $100... I dont undestand why theyre so expensive anyway, its just components and plastic

I got mine for $149 euro (about $250) plus postage from www.laconicrecords.de

very good deal.

Sorry local economy, $100 is not worth it

laconic = $149EUR = $251AUD

chemical = 115GBP = $285AUD

laconic is the clear winner

actually when you get to the check out it turns out to be

at laconic 236.21 EUR = 398.804 AUD

but at chemical its 102.37 GBP = 254.283 AUD
BAH, i think chemical wins

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 9:51 pm

^^ that's funny, cause I bought some from laconic back in July...... with postage they were approx $280AUD all together with postage.

I can't see why they are charging $125EUR for postage

there's gotta be some mistake...

I went through ebay though http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Sennheiser-HD25- ... dZViewItem

StoreDJ are pretty good as far as droping the prices down when you are
ready to deal. Go into the store if you live close enough and see how far
you can get them down. Also it doesn't help to have a quote for them
to match (be it real or imaginary)

cha_chaos · Post by **cha_chaos** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 8:20 pm

^^ oh wow. what a discount. a whole $5 off normal price for members... jeez i jumped at that o_O

taylem · Post by **taylem** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 9:26 pm

i think they came down an extra 50 from the prices on the page

all you need to do to fix up the SP's is flip the cups upside down and tape the cable over the head-band and let the cable go down one side... i got the ex-concorde ones off ebay for somethng ridiculous like $30

Wasn't really talking about the 'members price' but actually going in store
and seeing what they can do for you.

I've only delt with them once but they undercut everyone else in town.

yeah i just seperately meant on the site... its $40 or so to become a member.. duno i just thought $5 discount was cute and useless

but yeah id rather buy everything from a physical shop if its local, still takes off postage if you havnt been able to knock it down further which /will/ be that $5 discount

Even though I'm not strolling down Kings Cross at the moment, I still thought I'd ask, "How Much?"

so i'm thinking about getting some of these babies. 240 from chemical.

worth it?

convince me.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 4:41 pm

Yes. Worth it. They're the best portable headphones ive ever owned. They dont look like much but they sound great.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 4:42 pm

Technics 1210's FTW - for listening pleasure/DJ'ing... (got nice big bass)

HD25's for production/DJ'ing (more of a flat response HP).

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:06 pm

price difference?

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:08 pm

looks like the technics are a little cheaper...but they're feckin massive. too big to carry round all day me thinks.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:10 pm

They will be a little bigger, but I think they fold up smaller???

Dunno... have been without 1210's since some low-life scum fuck stole mine from the Laundry many moons ago.

almax · Post by **almax** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:49 pm

i used to have technics, they broke and now i have pioneers, i much prefer the pioneers but they were given to me as a present, given the option i would have bought some HD25s

my 2c

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:52 pm

^ which Technics though Al.

1200's, 1210's?

I thought the 1210's were great for aural pleasure, but the HD25's were great for accuracy.

almax · Post by **almax** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 6:29 pm

cant remember which ones i had, but i know there were the slightly cheaper ones with the straight chord and the coiled chord ones, i had the coiled chord ones. They were decent, no doubt, but if i had the choice between them, HD25s or the pioneers i currently have, they would place dead last
