    I know that Klipsch refused to provide a warranty for the Klipsch x10 - not the x10i - that were sold on Amazon during black Friday, so wouldn't be surprised if it was the same for Sennheiser.

    I wouldn't buy iems online, anyway. Decent stores like Richer Sounds will match any online price and provide the 2 year warranty.
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    That may be the case if you have a local branch of Richer Sounds, the nearest one to me is about 20 miles away.

    Of course I could order from their web site ... :)

    From Wikipedia;

    "In July 2008, Dr. Dre released his brand of headphones, Beats by Dr. Dre. The line consists of ....... The headphones are made by Monster."

    Monster are primarily known for Audio Cable manufacture, not for headphones. <snip>
    Agreed.

    Monster cables, the company that sell hugely overpriced cables that perform no better than good quality low resistance wire. See here for the whole nine yards.

    Style over substance, or as we skeptics like to call it, snake oil.
