[QUOTE="Byrd, post: 2599"] I am planning on getting a pair of headphones Senn HD 650's soon and have been quite dismayed at the pricing! Import Duties on these things are nill and shipping cannot be THAT expensive as they are small and not heavy, yet we still pay more than twice the US retail price! To see info on the import duties - [url]http://rapidttp.com/tariff/85/85183000.html[/url] The Average price I was quoted for these senn's here was R4400 On Amazon they are going for $286, which according to XE.com is R1,995.22 That is more than twice the price! Please Sennheiser - explain that one to me. Other than the fact that the "local sennheiser" must have escaped from C-Max, why else are these items so expensive here. The industry, by being greedy, is shooting itself in the foot because I for one will not be purchasing a set of those here. That money will intead be going to a US company. South African companies want loyalty from us, well how about a bit of loyalty in return. LOWER YOUR PRICES OR DIE [/QUOTE]
