they seem to kill these codes quickly, so it makes me wonder if these aren't meant to work...

The -$40 code still looks like it is working but I didn't make the purchase.

They mention both V2 and V3 models in the description but the latest reviews mention they are receiving V3 models. I wanted the older more accurate tuning. It's just a personal preference. Some may prefer something that is warmer. They think the V3 may be using the XS driver.

As I posted in the other recent deal...

I remember when the non-stealth version was $700 many years ago.

Slightly big/awkward headphones (in the cup shape, but they fit fine for me). These have a very unique and very wide sound signature. Bass light but still fun headphones. They even have height and front to back depth on them.

I got my order from the last deal a few days ago. It came fast (from NY to GA). I've yet to open it, but...

Same. I love my edition XS but was always curious with the these.
I know its a model that's getting phased out due to the Nano.

Just looked at this review: https://homestudiobasics.com/hifi...dition-xs/

I'll keep my Edition XS and maybe look into the Arya line up in the future.

That's what I'm thinking too. Since I already have the XS, it could probably be a micro upgrade. The real step up would be the arya. I was also looking into the Aune AR5000

No go. Not working. :"Coupon first come first serve, it has already been all used up by other buyers."
