Reply to comment by Uzidropped in AKG N5005 are on sale again on Harmanaudio.com for $200 right now by UnacceptableOwl

Bumping. For the price, it's a great deal, but if they're just using the Lenovo pricing model (the "deal" price is the actual MSRP), then it's worth checking against other comparable reccs around the same price range like the S12, even the S12 Pro.

I’ve heard the only thing better about the s12 pro is something to do with the cable and the interchangeable 3.5mm, 2.5mm etc jacks? Oh and maybe a slight change in tuning?

The Pro is on sale on AliExpress (it'll take a while to get to you), and some other retailers might try to match the price tomorrow for 11.11. Just for the cable it sounds like a good purchase.

Take that as you may.

Is there any advantage to buying it on AliExpress compared to Linsoul? (besides the price if there is a difference.)

Not really. In fact I personally would get it from Linsoul.

I think that these really did sell for $1k, at least for a little bit when they were new. Nowadays though, the real MSRP is probably around the $330 that Amazon currently has them at. $200 is definitely a new low though.

Shot in the dark, but how would they compare with the S12, currently at $135?
