AKG K3003i Reference In-Ears for $900 [Update: open-box sold-out)

Flagship time on the in-ears front, the AKG K3003i Reference Class in-ears are on the sale swing again, going for $900 (was $930) with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual where they average 4.4 out of 5 based on 23 polarized reviews (no 3-star reviews).

UPDATE (1/7/16): while the new condition price dropped a bit, the open-box on eBay sold-out, while the used prices at Amazon went up… If you prefer non-new, you can get them for $650 in open-box condition with full warranty from RazorDog Audio. This has “less than 10 hours used” per the listing… Contrast that price for the no-warranty but 30-day-return-policy in “Used – Good” condition for $640 by Amazon Warehouse Deals
