I did try my best to tell people to jump on the deal as items with a value under £100 usually don't get picked up unless your unlucky.
Even if you don't want them theres an instant profit to be made
AKG Q701 - Roughly £100 before duty

Psycho Sonny thanks for pointing these out. As you may have noticed from the other thread, I like them, a lot

Been playing around with padding and found that for my head I prefer no padding and just doing the fixed headband extended mod with cable ties as that's most comfortable. It essentially becomes the K712 headband always extended.
Now I've blacked out the cut away dimple areas with gaffa tape and will simply stitch on the leather layer once it arrives:
The stitching will go around and over the edge, will look great

I'd imagine so if they're making decent profit from it.

I would say it was a special one off deal. They must be making a new range or making their range smaller or just making the Q701 EOL. The price it was being sold at and the fact that the majority were shipped from Europe to USA is what makes me think this.
Looking at the other AKG deals on there they are nowhere near as good.
I seriously doubt you see that price again unless it's in their August bazaar with limited stock to the pieces which were returned to sender.
Chances of grabbing one of them is nil

Tell you what chaps, these Q701s are good aren't they 
Spent last night listening to some 24/176 music sourced from HDTracks (Doug MacLeod), some blues in fact and even though I'm not buying the quality gains of the sample rate (my DAC is set to output at 48KHz anyway over 24 bit simply because most of the media I play has 48KHz audio streams like movies and 24bit provides the cleanest ambient signal) but even still, bloody good!
The albums at this bitrate are HUGE, 1.5GB!!!
Ewww!

I hope you're right. Would love a green pair of these cans.

Lol I'll be wearing them indoors if I bought them, but as posted in the other thread I love the colour.

Mine arrived this morning, with a €30 customs bill. D'oh. Still worked out at about £121, which is a substantial saving.

Got the dreaded RM card today, oh well at least I have them.
For those that missed the deal!
They are back!
