OK, everyone. I guess everybody's trying to get rid of these (apparately discontinued) headphones to make way for the newer models. Cal clued me in (thanks man) to an even better deal on Musician's Friend: 19.99/pair. Strangely enough, MF shows the list price to be 79.00 while Sam Ash shows it to be 149.99... hmmm!
Anyway, they're great headphones nonetheless. Great sound inside, very quiet outside. I'm a little irritated, but definitely not dissapointed in my purchase. A good deal is still a good deal.
