Our 100% positive feedback
ratings say it all. Almost 400 (actual 398) eBay transactions and a
100% Positive eBay rating. Over 200 (actual 207) Audiogon transaction
and a 100% Positive Audiogon rating.

Users are well aware that so-called "positive ratings" can be forged easily
by dummy sales. Note that "Sound Emporium" has no business listings in
Minnesota, their location and they continue to use hidden email addresses
and dummy accounts.

FACTS about "Sound Emporium" are listed below.

SOUND EMPORIUM has been revealed to be a scam operation selling counterfeit
and/or grey market products. Despite their constantly changing name and
morphing into different "companies", Sound Emporium is a feckless fraud!

Notice too that this scamster keeps posting under phony names, first
"Robert Benson" than Benson Manga, then last week as "jeffbeck". Now a new
fraudulent address hiding behind giganews and usfamily.net!

Robert Benson
Suzanne Manka

Are the likely culprits, although they are hiding behind layers of anonymous
email addresses. Service? Nope. Support? Nope.

No phone number. No verifiable email address. Hiding behind sockpuppets
and anonymous email servers isn't the hallmark of a "quality" vendor.

A quality vendor like "hififorless.com" has verifiable phones and addresses,
has THAWTE secured ordering, and provides only FACTORY warranties.

The mark of a quality vendor!

On top of the consistently lowest price available on-line in the
U.S. for NEW HD600's, the only "two words" you need to know when you
want to buy a NEW pair of SENNHEISER HD600's, are "SOUND EMPORIUM."
)

"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's
warranty" that requires you send these suspect headphones back to China or
Germany.

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES because they are AUTHORISED DEALERS.


Richer Sounds in the UK were selling the HD600 brand new for just £99
over Xmas!. I think even now the most you'll have to pay for a pair
from them is £120!!, you might wanna consider getting a pair from the
UK if your buying them outside the US.


ALWAYS Bid & Buy with Total Confidence & Assurance at The Sound

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay, where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!


Then there is what SENNHEISER USA has said:

offering. I suggest you purchase your HD600 from one of our authorized
