If someone is looking for Audeze, HIFIMAN, etc... and doesn't mind waiting, I would suggest setting up an alert on one of the deal sites like slickdeals.net. Usually one of the bigger dealers will run a 40-50% off "open box" deal every other month and these deals always seem to get posted on slickdeals.net.
I just picked up some LCDi4's that were "b-stock" for 40% off. They are incredible headphones, and very unique. The bass distortion on these might be the lowest I have heard, but they were $1499 with free shipping and returns: https://slickdeals.net/f/11491659-a...ones-b-stock-229-more-free-s-h?src=SiteSearch
I am very impressed with the LCDi4's (never liked in ear headphones before); they are honestly on par with my Focal Utopia's in terms of clarity, and I definitely prefer either to my HD800's that I'm going to sell soon. I tried the LCD-3 headphones before and they lacked too much clarity for my taste. The LCD-4's were better than the LCD-3's, just too heavy for me to wear for extended periods. Returned both to Adorama (no issues at all). These LCDi4's are great, and I'm keeping them. They sound so phenomenal when hooked to my Benchmark DAC3 that it is hard to take them off.
