    They are excellent headphones. Cons: the connectors suck, Soundstage is kind of meh, fit is a bit uncomfortable. But at this price, excellent buy IMO.

    Whoa, $25 for those is a steal based on what I heard. Slap some quick and dirty mods on that!

    For $25, I got a white pair for my girlfriend.

    Good catch @imackler.

    There's one in VG good condition for $250. Good deal if you don't get charged tax. Looks to be just the packaging that is messed up.

    These are crazy prices.

    All true. Just received mine. Amazing SQ. Personally I would take these over most closed back cans regardless of price in a heart beat.

    A bit too much bass pretty much is the only issue, which will partially be mitigated by the street noise if you plan on using these as intended, outside. Headband is all metal and can be easily bent to lessen both clamp and bass impact while bringing better comfort at the same time. Be aware though, thesse are very position sensitive. Easy to disassemble and would probably benefit from a little bit of dampening within the cup to reduce distortion.

    The only thing I would suggest is getting two and making sure they sound the same. I bought two for my kids and one pair sounds significantly worse than the other. Both were in factory packaging with close serial numbers so I guess QC isn't all that great. Just ordered anotheer two pairs, just in-case ;-).

    Amazon still has them, what are you waiting for??? Go check if any of your closed back cans stand a chance against this $25 beast.

    HD650 for £232 on Amazon UK
    (Actually even less, I think, if outside Europe. I ordered a pair for £198 before shipping)

    Where have folks been getting their Utopias? I'm considering them (if I can sell some stuff). I'm hoping they're like other focal items where you can haggle a bit (in my limited experience).
