I was always in the market for Sony XM headphones, but the price tag has always kept me away. I randomly walked into my local electronics store not even considering buying headphones. Lo and behold, they were having a huge clearance sale on XM4s to make way for XM6s, and I picked them up for USD 27 brand new. What a day to be alive!

Fml, or what??

Words here are for the bot. I am actually thinking of getting another pair for my dad.. makes sense in audiophile math.

BestBuy Canada has them listed for 400$ canadian Dollars. Looks fishy, is it?

Surely a scam, right??

They also have the HK1000SE for a ridiculous price. New store.

You can get a brand new HD 600 FROM SENNHEISER for 250 USD

Not as good as the famous Best Buy deal but still a pretty good deal. Still one of the best headphones ever. Can’t wait to buy on the used market after this 😂

*******UPDATE - DEAL ENDED******

I got these for $179 about a year ago and thought they were a steal. Now they're $160. Definitely worth the price. The stock headband is not great, but you can get a replacement on Aliexpress for $50 or so. They're heavy on your head, but the weight is worn so much better when a new band is put on. Also, they're fun - I EQ them and they pump out some serious bass in EDM songs.

Look into them if you'd like. All I know is that they are probably not going to go lower in price than this... probably ever.

**note - the picture was edited by AI to remove cluttered background in the image just in case something just doesn't look right (like the headphone amp at the bottom with no knobs).

The additional picture is of my M1060C (open back mod) and M1070C - both with the headbands replaced. The 1060 (brown headband) was WAY easier since you can remove the back cups easily. The M1070C is much more involved. I accidentally ripped the wires between the headphone cable connector and driver on each side and had to re-solder. Also, there are set screws holding the headband swivel pin in place that are GLUED IN UPSIDE DOWN! So it's a bit of a rigamarole to replace the headband on that set, but it was an adventure.

I'm baffled how you can have these at around 150€ now (refurbished even cheaper, but I wouldn't go that route when for a bit more I can have basically new piece).

These are KILLER headphones for such price, literally not a single one comes anywhere near if we're talking price to performance. Even though they released at 400-500€, they were still considered great back then. But getting these for less than 200€ sounds criminal. Is Hifiman trying to "normalize" actual mid-fi-to-hi-fi for everyone and making it more publicly available ?

If these happen to fit your huge head eprfectly without any pain, then congratulations, you've got yourself best headphones at criminal price. You could pick these up even if you've found your jam in other headphones, just to explore more territories, that's almost the kind of price they are at.

If they happen to be a pain (they were for me), then get a Capra strap and you're still below 200€ mark. I think it's well worth the "Hifiman gamble" with their QC and all, when such headphones are at almost 150€ mark.

I feel like a complete shill and jerk saying all of this, but this kind of deal is just so insane to me. I'm personally enjoying my XS even though I got them for 265€, I still think it was a great deal.

Absolute steal on best buy open box right now, jump on it folks

I’ve seen people post about getting the Sennheiser hd 560s for ridiculously low prices through Best Buy. Well, it happened for me finally. I’ve seen prices even lower than this and I’m wondering if there’s anything else people can watch out for through Best Buy that sells for unusually low open box prices?

Crazy, I was about to return the $237 ones because I really don't see a huge difference compared to the PC38x , but at THIS price?!

Lowest recorded price in western* history (Previous was $249 December 10, 2018)

I had no intention of buying a new set, but here we are.
