I didn't realize they were going for $700 these days.
The seller's website seems legit.

Hard to say.
I think my studio partner got his pair for less than that, but he works at a retail instrument store and deals pop up. Like, people keep giving him MK-012s.

thomann is a bit less that that I think. That's encouraging. It's actually $429 before shipping and VAT but it's in the ballpark which makes me think this is indeed legit. I see these for $699 all over the place. Weird that there's so much gap. |

M160 for $489? Too good to be true? linkI would not buy anything from 6ave. I think they've been known to sell knockoffs. RØDE even has a disclaimer on their site mentioning them by name (and a few other places). |

We're getting to the Beyer truth.

Counter to his expectations, that Beyer just doesn’t fit.

They were around $450 last year too in a couple of real shops.

I saw that but it also says "in stock in 1 - 2 weeks" which in Covid-Era shopping could mean literally anything. |

I shudder when I see those words, but I know what you mean. Supply chains are completely SHOT. for everything. Every where. Every industry. But it's really affecting the pro audio equipment industry. I know for a fact audioscape is doing the best it can to get parts to build things, but wow, it's tough! jsteiger has posted about the same thing. And I've heard others have said the same. Quite the shortages affecting delivery times because lack of parts means delayed build time. You can't fulfill orders without XFOs |

I was one of the naive ones thinking that after a year we'd be seeing everything go back to normal (at least from a supply chain standpoint).
The fact Audioscape and other smaller teams have been able to keep any production up is a blessing.

I think the Thomann projections are pretty accurate. I ordered a M201TG a while back when it was out of stock, and the order got fulfilled a few days early.
The M160s were out of stock for multiple weeks during the summer, and came back in stock around October. I’m looking to buy one from them one of these days.

The only thing better than one M160 is two M160's. Mine lives on my drum overheads and now I need another one for anything else that I want to make sound awesome. I've got my eye out for an M130 as well but it's more of a "want" than a need. |

Big T is the world biggest dealer for musicians.... I remember when he showed Gibson his power. Big T simply did not negotiated a new contract. They stoped selling Gibson guitars for months. There was no chance for Gibson to win the passive aggressive argument. No one wants loose Big-T. as business partner, my guesswork is... you better deliver in time. That’s maybe even more true during Covid before Christmas. Big T hates to disappoint customers.... |
