Why are they $300 on Amazon? Everywhere I look on YouTube says they should be $50-$70. Why?

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?

Don't purchase them from Best Buy (far too overpriced), and you can get some really cheap ones on eBay (probably even cheaper than Amazon). Good luck!

Hello, we have them for sale at $7.50 each dozen. It should be free shipping if you have Prime Membership from Amazon. Look for seller KP Trading Deals. Thank you!

They are not $200 headphones. If you go to Soul Electronics they are $79. I don't know why sellers are allow to make it seem as if you are getting a huge discount when your not.

When I bought them they were about $35.00 for 96. They are advertised at other sites for $34.99 for 86. I have ordered from Amazon, and other sites and have been told after my order was placed that the item had been back ordered since fall of 2013. If they are not available, why are they even listed?

You must have hit the wrong button. I am just a customer. If you keep hunting around you will find someone to purchase from. I searched on the internet last time and bought them. I did not find them on Amazon.

Bought mine for the $30 price. I agree with Bryan that it's probably just different sellers. Go with your wallet!

Why has Amazon's price rocketed? Wallycom is still selling them for $298. They were in stock there a few days ago, but are now out. I don't understand the panic just yet.

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

I bought mine with Amazon Prime a few weeks ago so it might be a temporary thing. Not sure about the price though, the red one is awesome.

I think it's strange that they are selling them for another company Quote! for $149.00 with thier Prime free shipping. But they can't send ours that we we pre-ordered months back for $65.95????

The going rate on eBay for these is around $100-$150, so $80 is a reasonable price. As another response said, these are discontinued and apparently popular.

Cars info.. I wish I bought and put on all four at the time. Also, look on Amazon warehouse deals and see if you can buy the combo there instead. I did and they were great the price was 60 bucks instead of 200

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

Absolutely not. An excellent set of headphones, still has the $300 price tag on the back of the box. They made these for a couple of years then, like everything else, they moved on to the next model, discontinuing these. Now, everyone is selling them at a discounted price to move old stock. At this price, I honestly don't believe you can find a better set. I'd be happy with them if I had paid full price.Edit: After reading these other answers, I felt compelled to say that these DID sell for $300 originally, do some research. The guys on Head Fi were talking about these when they first came out, and were saying they had paid the $300. Absolutely not.
