Why are these suddenly $55?? I've used these forever and they break every year or two, but I don't mind replacing them when they're $20.

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

this model is discontinued and no more available from Sony - I got this from retail for a very high price

Mine was $15., usual is$20. I think, maybe try most regular. They do work well.

i was wondering the same thing. I paid about $30 for mine about 15+ years ago. Still works perfectly, but NOT worth $150.

Seriously. I've also noticed that a while back too and so my money is mainly being spent elsewhere. These guys are RIPPOFFS. IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE CHEAPER HERE NOT MORE EXPENSIVE!!!

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

I got mine here on Amazon for 230.00. I would not pay 400.00! It would be nice if everyone would price them fairly, I laugh when I see them priced 2 to 5 times what a fair price is. Must be looking for stupid buyers.

I have a similar problem - they appear to be a poor quality product and of course it is now too late to return them. I suspect even if they were replaced you would have the same problem 5months from now. And just so you know, batteries can be replaced(yes they have batteries) but they are costly.

if you can get these basics for around $18 then jump on it, because right now they're just above $25. I have them in my cart hoping they'll go back down to $18, or the $17 I got them for last time I bought them.. not sure why they're sitting at $25 right now but that doesn't make them much of a deal anymore...

I think they're so cheap because the white one isn't being carried by Amazon anymore, and Amazon is the one that's charging the $40 price tag. (and these things retail for $100!)

I too would love to get them but a $1.00 a sheet is not reasonable. I can go to Dollar tree and buy a set of 3 plastic cutting boards for that price. Just like that they are disaposable.

i was wondering the same. I bought these from Amazon a year ago for $12.64 per bag of 30 so the price has literally doubled. Other online stores are currently selling these for $12.99 - $16.99. I would love to keep buying from Amazon but this price is way out of line.

Did you somehow break these? I would definitely recommend reaching out to Klipsch. Most likely wear and tear or accidentally breaking these seen covered but it never hurts to ask and be honest about it. I love these headphones id be devasted if I lost or broke these. Luckily you could typically find another pair for under $100

Idk I can't remember. I do know they broke shortly after we got them. I would suggest going a different direction.

Nobody has found a good alternative to these? I used to pay $10 and now they're $94.99?! Come on Sony! They used to only last about a year but I had no problem spending $10 a year on them.

Sorry, I don't know. I guess they're not supposed to break. (That's kinda silly, when they're made of plastic!)

I know, old question, but... the good news is that they sound very good for the price and come with a lifetime warranty that Koss is happy to honor. The bad news is you're going to need the warranty, and it will cost as much in shipping them to Koss and paying Koss' handling fee as buying them new. They consistently fail where the wire enters the headphone. I've owned and replaced several of these. They're a poor value overall. If you like this style and price, look for similar headphones made by Panasonic which are far more durable and a better value.

Only when they crumble or break down. Otherwise you should not replace them.
