Sony MDR-7506 Studio Headphones for $60

For a limited time only (I do not know when it expires), Guitar Center has an “add to cart” promotion on the new condition Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The price is $80 on the page, but after you add to cart and proceed to checkout the price drops to $60~. No coupon needed. You can pick them up at a local Guitar Center store or have them shipped.

Here’s how the shopping cart looks while this promotion is running:

PS1: I just checked Amazon and they haven’t price-matched it (it remains $80 after you do the shopping cart gymnastics).

PS2: this promotion is not available at Musician’s Friend, only Guitar Center.
