The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Usually, the price is $130, so it seems to be a pretty good deal :)

    Thanks for posting this deal Midnight. I am in the market for a pair of nice headphones. I have heard Klipsch 2.1 speakers and they were very nice, but these headphones don't have too good of a review on Amazon :(

    Yeah, it looks like they got a mixed review... but then again, they're all rating it with its high price in mind. It would probably rate more favorably compared to other $40 headphones.

    go to head-fi to read some more detailed reviews. I was interested in them too, but now they don't seem to be worth $40 to me. good find nevertheless.

    Indeed it is. And their customer service is terrific. They seem to enjoy getting phone calls from novice audiophiles such as myself and will literally spend hours going through the type of cans they think is best suited for you and explain all the techno-jargon in plain english.

    customer service? the head-fi i'm talking about is an online forum, not a commercial site.

    lol.. you seem to be mistaken here. Head-Fi is the biggest audiophile forums on the interwebs.. Kinda like a NBR, just for personal audio

    Right, that was the site I was referring to. I was also confused about the CS comment. I thought maybe they started selling headphones :confused:
