Sony XB500 at Festival Mall

[Mochan]

Saw some XB500s being sold at Festi. 1.4k probably fake. Not so sure though, didn't have time to really look at it.

i checked their website and the xb500 retails for 3.5k and the xb300 for 2.5k. if it's original then it's good news for bassheads on a tight budget

there's a chance the ones bro Mochan saw is real. Prices on sony's website is just over. super over

[Azathoth]

The XB500 has a US $80 SRP, so I think the Php 3.5k local price tag is actually in line with that given the current exchange rate, not "super" overpriced at all.

[Mochan]

Xb500 I think can be had for about $40US online, though. But I doubt you can get that in malls here. These are likely fake but would be nice if they weren't.

[jcruiz]

well if it's real then it's a nice deal since the xb500 is a good starter headphone for bassheads

what's the name of the store bro? maybe they're on 70% off

[Mochan]

Forgot. something like Modern Gadgets. It's a shop that sells iPads and Tabs and stuff. But also lots of cheap stuff. Including the XB500. I don't know them too well, I wouldn't put it past them to get OEM stuff, but you never know. Next time I pass by I will take a closer look at the XB500s.

[Dyaems]

Might be a good idea for me to get that xb500 just to get those yummy soft pillows pads since sony never responded to my requests

[goban]

I just passed by that store (modern gadgets) today. I'm getting alert signs that it might be a counterfeit product, as beside the xb500 is a fake beats by dr. dre. Also the store sells some fake scrapcandy lowriders.

But the packaging and the pads look neat XD

[Mochan]

Packaging looks real enough, that's what the actual packaging looks like, but I can't tell if it's real or not without closer inspection. I literally just zipped by, because I had a final project due yesterday and hadn't even started when I got to the mall at 1:30... and it was due at 2:30.

I might get one of these just to get pads for the XB700.

The pleather on the super comfy pads are starting to rip.
