Why is the price skyrocketing? This great headset sold for $31.50 for over a year. The price started going up gradually in November to now reach $50, this is ridiculous! What's going on?

This product is discountinued by Plantronics and most retailers are uping the price due to high demand and low supply - standard economics

I've noticed big price fluctuations with a lot of products on Amazon... It works out for me, though, because the prices dip drastically at other times... gotta love getting an item retailed at $120 for $31.50, don't you think?

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

I purchased mine in 2013 from a different seller on Amazon. Their listing also indicated a box of two but I figured their translation was confused. Sure enough, I only received one set, a headset and a charger, (I guess their translation meant - two "things" in the box) but that is what I expected as I paid less than half of what your seller is charging. I still see this item listed on Amazon at the price I paid, so if I were you I'd keep shopping. And yes they have volume controls and I am very happy with mine.

Steve, I got it right here at Amazon. They must have only had a couple because they raised the price right back up after i bought mine. I doubt that you'll see that price anytime soon. I guess i got lucky. Amazon is very weird like that. They have great deals but you gotta watch out for them. I wish i could have got a free pair of glasses with it but i'm not complaining. I got a pair off ebay for $70 bucks. 3D is pretty cool. BYE

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance. Chuck

I have the same question....I bought mine 2 years ago for $51...now it's $400+? I wanted to buy one for a friend who loved mine...I was willing to spend up to $75 for a gift..but $400? No way

Amazon just raised the price about $80. Must be because it's out of stock. I don't think I'll buy it now.

I just bought mine @ that price you described. Then I checked back today and the price shot up to $931.

Trust me Adam, you can find much better than this. It's EXTREMELY overpriced for what it is. The drivers in this headset are the same ones used in $20 headphones. Take a look at these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826465003&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Headsets+++Accessories-_-AZIO+Corporation-_-N82E16826465003&scpid=22&scid=scsho5454402

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait.Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?

I came here from Uncrate.com who is reporting it only costs $650 with WIRED.com saying it's $600, but it's still selling here for $900. Either price point is absurd in my opinion, and I'm just as amazed as you are people are buying it at such a high cost.

It is being sold by [AIM USA] and they choose what they want to sell it at. I don't know what kind of company that is, but that price is a ripoff. When I bought my mouse a couple years ago, it was only like $30 or $40.

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

Hello! I was planning to buy this item on the Black Friday, but found the unpleasant surprise of its current ridiculous price! I will wait until its price drops too.

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

You are right, the price is out of line. You can buy it retail from Netgear for $150.http://www.netgear.com/Products/CommunicationsVoIP/Skype/SPH200D.aspx
