Music/sound is simple, imo if your ears can tell difference, then it's worth to spend extra $ for a particular product.

There is no right nor wrong. Music/sound is very subjective.

Like I personally don't like philips uptown headphone even though it seems like a good dea.
However, it sounds so dry and I don't find comfortable when i wear it.

For some people, they might not be able to distinguish Philips Uptown and Sennheiser HD 598, so it's not worth to spend $250 for HD 598 while you can get uptown for $55.

Thanks OP. I was looking at these prior to your post. The ICS and FLAC sold me.
Also, I agree - my searches in U.S. showed price was much higher. Can't wait to get it delivered.

Damn, missed it... Are you sure that it re-stocked? Would've been a nice toy to have.

yes, i saw it is available again on 7pm, but it was still $130, then after 8pm, i decide to purchase it for my friend in states, but it went out of stock once again and price is now $80.

Can previous buyers get a price adjustment?

Edit: Nevermind, doesn't apply to Boxing Week sales

I called them and was able to get the price difference back. This is definitely a steal at 80 bux.

I called them, and they said they can't pm it because it's not in stock.

well it's not really a "pm", it's their own price protection. also they could maybe be selling these in the select few stores that are open today, so you could argue that you'd potentially price protect with one of those that carry them for this price.

yeah I called them again, and this time the different csr gave me $50 refund.
man Canadian company really need consistency on service.
It wasted me a lot of time and their $ too.
I bought walkman z1050 on early dec too, but they didn't let me pm boxing week sales. So I returned it and re-order it on dec 24th.
