I have heard these phones and they are worth getting for free.

Pick me, mine just broke..oh, and I am broke too..

As an entry-level wanna-be, I would love to win these. My Ipod supplied ear buds really hurt after 10 minutes of use since I lost the foam covers.

Over-the-ear headphones are the only way to listen to music!

Kingmob's picture

Fingers crossed...

My Grados have worn out, kids,kids,kids. Thank god my Dunlevy SCIV's are still sounding wonderful.

I once won some cheese, but I couldn't listen to music with the Gouda. If I win the headphones I'll be able to listen to music, but not eat. It would still be Gouda to win.

These are for my son. The next generation needs quality music and sound to go with it!

surflong's picture

looking forward to hearing those

Big Bad Bakken's picture

Let me put it this way; I am married. My wife can't understand the idea of $300 headphones, which as an extension means I don't get to understand it myself. Please, kindly, remedy this situation by allowing me the chance to 'forgo' the payment step, and go right to the 'YOU WIN!!!' step. It's for my wife's good, not mine.

Thanks guys, love the site.

Brian

Good morning Phiaton, i'm in the library looking at my e-mail and see that Stereophile sent me their latest issue. I notice an ad for Phiaton PS500 Primal series headphones Sweepstakes. Your headphones look "Delicious". I may not be an audioholic, but i do like listening to music. And what better way to listen to Pink Floyd or Earth,Wind&Fire than on your fine headphones. I don't mean to kiss booty but I will post my feeling about your headphones on Twitter and FaceBook today.Finally, i have but three words. Leather, Titanium, 40mm, WOW, ok that's four words. Enjoy your weekend.

michaeljr's picture

I never win anything. Let's go ahead and change that.

rjberry's picture

Nice to see new entry in the midrange market.

jbence's picture

These headphones are the last piece of equipment i need to complete my new system. These would be great for the nights when i want to hear music but no one else does.

Glotz's picture

I don't want to upset the balance of nature, which clearly has it out for me... What I do hope for is a break from all of GLOBAL HOOKER MADNESS- ie hate and death.

PS- Stephen you look so dang dapper, I hope that pic gets you laid! Or at least a wife. And if you find two, send me one...

Michaelph's picture

Of course, I'd love a pair, but be sure to also give away some to the ladies. Everyone knows that they are the perfect compliment for the female audio geeks among us. Godspeed.

I would certainly enjoy listening to my Charlie Parker vinyl with the new set of Phiaton PS 500's I am going to win here!

punate's picture

Kamal's picture

I'm a retired person, over 63 yrs old, on a small govt pension & there's no way I can afford to purchase Headphones like these.
It would make my day if my name turned up for getting one of these in the sweepstakes.

rviloria07's picture

I would really love to have one.

char_williams's picture

A really nice looking pair of sealed cans!

witabla's picture

Thanks for the sweepstakes. I hadn't run into Phaiton before so I'm happy to know about their headphones in any case. My Grados are falling apart and are uncomfortable, although I still love the way they sound.

Juacline's picture

Please let me win, my headphones broke.

JustinB's picture

Planning our wedding in May and the future wife, while no fan of the '70s classics I favor on vinyl, does not appreciate the need for me to spend us further into Brokeville by acquiring new cans at this time. So this contest could provide us domestic harmony, both financially and sonically.

PTORPEY's picture

i would be able to listen to sweet music and not my husbands snoring......SWEET

scooter_tx's picture

any suggestions on an integrated amp that has a good headphone section?

desperaudio's picture

How cool is that. Been thinking about researching and sourcing a pair of 'phones for home for almost a year - but the inexpensive ones (really kinda') suck and the really good ones are, well, beyond my means.
Phiaton & Vinyl & Moi - what are the chances?
I hope chances are good!

OK - Nevermind. Apparently I am not a resident of the U.S. of A - I happen to be a touch north of there in the US in Eh - or "Canada" for the un-informed.
So I'm not eligible. Darn.

camper223's picture

Thank you so very much for giving me a chance to be a winner
Thank you for all your time, effort and hard work
