As we posted earlier, Amazon has a pretty sweet Black Friday headphones deal. The Sennheiser HD598 Special Edition headphones are available, while supplies last, for $94.99 (list is $249.95). That's a savings of $150. Last year these headphones were offered for slightly more and they sold out quickly so we'd suggest snagging a pair while you can. They are still available as of 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

The Sennheieer HD598 Special Edition headphones are a treat for audiophiles, combining wide open dynamic sound with supreme comfort. Their acoustic engineering delivers natural, detailed and balanced sound. A high-quality leatherette headband and velour covered ear cushions provide outstanding wearing comfort for long listening sessions. The HD 598 offers excellent performance and value.
The original version of the HD598 was rated 9.5 out of 10 for sound quality from Caleb Denison on Digital Trends (4 out of 5 overall). His main gripe was he didn't like the color, but that was before they were available in black. Steve Guttenberg from CNET also rated them 4 out of 5 overall, and he's a very picky listener (I know... they're actually both friends of mine). Here are links to their reviews:
And the coolest part is these Special Editions are actually an improved version of the ones that Steve and Caleb reviewed. So they should sound even better.
