how is the sound of this headphone? is it better than vs 6xx/sundara/dt1990, etc?

is it worth the original or sale price?

+ had to pay 2 way shipping + potential chance of 15-30% restocking fee

I tried to cancel the order even before they shipped out from their warehouse but they refused to cancel it because they already created shipping label (their cancel window is like 10 minute only after order )

shipping fee isn't a big deal. my biggest concern is their bs restocking fee policy.

since this headphone doesn't come with any factory seal, I feel like they can do whatever they want with their restocking fee policy even though I didn't even open the item and returned it in completely brand new condition.

my irrational concern is this:

1. they'd have to check the content of return item because item doesn't come with factory seal = their return guy have to open the item = they can't sell item again as new condition since their return guy have to open the item to check the item was returned new even though I returned it new, unopened = high likely hood they are going to charge me bullshit return fee

2. I had to return the item without opening because of restocking fee concern so I couldn't check the content of the item to verify it really was new item. since item doesn't come with factory seal, how do I know what I was delivered was really brand new even before I received it? I doubt newegg is throwing away $800msrp headphone just because it was returned. How do I know it was really brand new and not previously returned headphone that was resold? = potential chance to get blamed for everything which is none of my fault




yes. I'm kind of having remorse because if it actually sounds good and if I kept the order, I wouldn't have to think about return for 1+ week
it's definitely far from amazon's hassle free experience.

main reason I returned it was because one youtuber's claim that this headphone sound worse than $199 headphone. but thinking now, I think the guy may have been exaggerating.

I looked up alternative headphone after returning this and only ones I found was Sundara, 6xx, 1990. they are basically same price tier as this or much more expensive (1990) + they come with much worse build quality and comfort (sundara, 6xx)

buying/returning headphone is such a poor experience imo. it's almost same as buying snake oil. you have to buy it without hearing how it sounds. sale feels almost final ($800 msrp headphone which comes with 0 factory seal?). no way to tell if it's really new even if you buy new, etc. it's like buying shoes/apparel online but even 10 times worse (at least for shoes/apparel, you know your size + no restocking fee policy for return, free 2 way shipping, etc)

I think I'm going to buy headphone only from amazon or directly from manufacturer in the future

if newegg try to charge me restocking fee, I'd probably escalate for refund since I know I returned it 100% unopened, brand new condition

if the sound of headphone is really good as you say, I think I might even ask them to send me the headphone again because I think it's a good deal

I feel like an idiot for spending so much time and hassle for nothing

savemoneyz wrote: ↑ newegg return service is beyond horrible

they now said there is no replacement available. so I asked for refund and now they tried to charge me bullshit restocking fee

savemoneyz wrote: ↑ Beyerdynamic headphone. No seal, No shrink wrap?
I bought Amiron Home from newegg but headphone retail box came with no factory seal or shrink wrap.
Is this normal? How do I know it's actually brand new?

any good headphone recommendations for <$1000?

Would like to get the Hifiman ananda wireless, but that's $1500, since it has LDAC and HWA. but is 100g heavier.
