    "Will donate all traded-in headphones to a charitable association" - Hmmm...

    While I applaud their desire to help charity, it seems weird to be donating headphones. Clothing, shoes, eye-glasses, books, school supplies - sure. I've donated stuff to those types of organizations. But headphones? Not so motivating, at least to me. I'd prefer them to make a cash donation to a worthy charity.

    Specially not giga-dollar headphones that probably qualify for the $1,000 purchase reduction.

    It's a charitable association though, so it's likely that they're going for auction first, then those funds allocated towards specific causes.

    Seems Empire Ears is having a 20% off site-wide sale including their ADEL stuff and accessories.

    Use code "EMPIRE20" until August 14th, 2017 at midnight EST.

    A bit odd I don't see any reference to it other than on their website.

    See @shotgunshane's thread for some quick suggestions.

    Edit: changed date to 14th from the 8th.

    It appears, from Jason Lord over on HF, that the trade in must be clean, in original box, and have an MSRP of $60 or greater. My guess is that once this promotion happens, the fine print will be made public.

    Assuming the dealer isn't eating any of the promotion, this would be one hell of a deal. Assuming some dealers are discounting Utopia's as much as $1000 already, if they can sell at promo price plus the unadvertised discount, a Utopia new might be had for ~$2000! We'll see.

    Adorama has done several laptop promotions like this - trade in any laptop up to 5 years old for a certain amount of credit on a new laptop etc.. having to have the original box will be a deal killer for some. I guess you could always just go buy some brand new $60 headphones if you want the discount!

    Any particular dealers to watch out for potential combined promos? I doubt it will happen, but if I could get a brand new with warranty Utopia for under $3k, worth a shot.

    So good a deal it appears the HE560 isn't even listed on TTVJ's site anymore!

    Actually that's "Projector Supercenter" selling through walmart's marketplace.

    Many authorized dealers like B&H and HiFi Heaven are selling it for $499 too. Either a price cut from HiFiMan, or TTVJ was right when his site said the HE-560 was discontinued.

    Nice to see even temporary and promotion related price drops on the Utopia's. Remind me never to spend $4-6K on headphones within the first 18 months of their release. (Looking at you Susvara).

    Looks like Projector Supercenter is an authorized dealer too so Manufacturer's warranty should be available. Probably an addn. benefit of buying through Walmart is we can optionally buy Walmart's protection plan, if that's any good. But TTVJ's deal was sweet!
