Open box return, item appears to never have been taken out of original packaging.
Limited edition Astell&Kern Special Edition headphones by Beyerdynamic, like new, originally $1350, now $850 (including shipping and tax).
From the headphone.guru:
"The bass was in a word: exquisite... [and they] offer treble that is highly detailed and
extended while never causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up.
I find the AKT5p’s a wonderful addition to the market as they are certainly unique when compared to the other closed-back top-of-the-line headphones. You no longer have to sacrifice a neutral/balanced sound signature, nor do you have to give up on sound-staging in order to have headphones that can isolate you from the outside world. Their build quality is top shelf, as is the comfort level that they provide."
High end audiophile quality at an open box price.
