Can anyone tell me why these cheap headphones are currently going for $149.88?

Sony discontinued so sellers have to pay crazy prices to get them. sonxtronic xdr-8000 and sonxtronic xdr-8001 are very comparable products, that (currently) have better supply and a much better price new.

Well, probably the Harmons. I have an unopened pair of Able Planet BC550 I'd like to sell too. They list for $200. I don't know how much the Harman Kardon cost but if you are interested let me know. I would be happy to sell them for $75

$149 should be for the pair. That's the price I've seen on another site (where they're also OOS).

It seems they may be phasing out the "PC" line in favor of the G4ME ONEs. This is basically a complete guess, but I think it's a sensible one given how many sites are saying "Out of Stock." Personally, if you're interested in these headphones, I'd quickly check out the white G4ME ONEs for $200 right now.

I'd be willing to guess that Behringer buys these same units from the same factory, puts their name on them and marks them up $20. Then again this is only my guess.- Jay

Not really an answer--more of a joining in on the bafflement. These have gone up in dramatically in price. $99.00 for a box of 18? What is going on here?

I just received my headphones from "StashurCash" and I too think I just got ripped off. I haven't opened the packaging yet, but I might just ship them back and hope I get a refund.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130.It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

The date has been updated to reflect November. I wonder if these will be worth a crap. I have some for the 360 & they pop a lot. This is the only pair that I could find that have cloth ear cups though.

Do you still need this info? I just read this question I apologize for the delay. I had a bad experience with purchasing these ear buds. I definitely think some of these sellers are shady. I ended up going to best buy after the beats fell apart a month of having them.they would not refund or send a replacement pair.

I got mine here on Amazon for 230.00. I would not pay 400.00! It would be nice if everyone would price them fairly, I laugh when I see them priced 2 to 5 times what a fair price is. Must be looking for stupid buyers.

I just ordered these for $352 + $8.45 shipping and handling from 365USA who are an Amazon partner site. You can't find them via Amazon directly, but I found them through this site by typing in "shure se530" on google and they come up at the top (paid search) via "GoSale": http://www.gosale.com/4932054/shure-se530-sound-isolating?gclid=CMO8jfynxo4CFRFoYAod0hKDAA This site shows (at the time of this posting) 365USA at the top with the cheapest price, and that link takes you back to Amazon.com. I looked around for any negative ratings on Google etc and couldn't find any. So I hope to get these Tuesday 9/18.

There is some independent seller (for some reason?) selling for that price, but through ReSqueeze and Amazon they are $14.99 :)

Resellers are selling at a premium, probably because these were pre-sold-out. Anything to make a quick buck I guess. The company who makes them were selling for about $13.

You can get them for as low as $415 brand new if you look around. Great deal!!
