Ok. My sennheiser MX400 headphones have died, but I loved them so much. If only I'd remembered to keep the receipt they'd be in-warranty at ~13 months old. Then again, they were $15 headphones anyways.

After reading a few reviews, I thought I'd try the CX 400.

I had some trouble finding them, though. Eventually I saw that NCIX had them listed for $149.99. While I was looking, though, I saw that both Dell.com and Amazon.com had them, for $29.59 and $34.95, respectively. However, they're not listed on Amazon.ca or Dell.ca and the American sites won't ship them to Canada. The cheapest Canadian site I've found is Futureshop.ca at $119.99.

What the fuck? I mean, I know the Canadian dollar's doing poorly, but really?

Cant you buy it from amazon marketplace?

I always thought of NCIX as a pretty chill place but man that's brutal. They are almost as expensive as HD555's...

There is some cheap ones on ebay.ca too.

Do you have any friends that live in the US? Deliver it to their house, and have them mail it to you.

Just use the www.gamesforcanada.com direct request form... That's where I got my brother's headphones using. Canadian electronics prices suck

Good suggestion. The first one I tried did not allow me, but the second one did. Although, it included a $35 shipping fee, doubling the price.

I'll try a few others...

That is so fucking awesome.

I think it may be an error on NCIX's prices? Their other prices don't seem out of line and some arein fact cheaper than amazon.com. I say shoot them an e-mail.

There's probably some painfully stupid distribution agreement in place where some moronic company has exclusive rights to distribute the product in Canada and are gouging it.

I think I may have found the best solution.
Cell-Outlets.com are offering it for $31.99USD + $6.99 international shipping. Total, $50CAD.

Thanks, guys.
