Alright so i needed a new pair of headphones after the unfortunate end to my old pair. So i was price comparing when suddenly!!!

 

  https://www.jbhifi.com.au/headphones-dj/headphones/sol-republic/sol-republic-tracks-on-ear-headphones-deadmau5/88137/

 

So that's a $190 pair of headphones for $99

 

Just to compair for some context of Australian prices

 

http://www.dicksmith.com.au/audio-mp3/sol-republic-on-ear-deadmau5-dsau-c7539

 

These are on sale as well: 

http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/sol-republic-tracks-hd-deadmau5-on-ear-headphones

 

 

I don't know what's going on but yeah.

 

 

 

 

I'm afraid to swear now because the overlords might hurt me.

xD, sorry it had to be done

 

I am no audiophile but Sol Republic are like beats I believe, overpriced and overhyped because of celebrity endorsement.

 

What are the headphones being used for? Maybe make a post in the Audio Sub Forum asking for recommendations.

No idea if it's the same with these, but the cable that came with my old Sol Republic headphones broke easily(twice) and after 4-6 months there was a weird rattle when any sound played. I wouldn't recommend getting them even with those savings.
