Who falls for this shit?

You'll find out in the checkout before you confirm so don't worry.

Hmm not sure. Which website is that? I tried typing in the name at the top but got nothing.

It’s an alliexpress shop

Like it says. Send 900 and get 475 off. The coupon will deduct it at checkout before you pay. After selecting it. Just be sure it's added at checkout before you pay or it won't work.

Highly suggest you avoid that seller, they're typical aliexpress scumbags. I bought a replacement Hd800s cable, didn't work out of the box. Asked for a remedy and they simply replied "sorry" and refused to do anything about it. Put in a dispute, ali sided with them. Put a paypal claim next, they only checked whether it was delivered or not, and sided with them too. Finally put a chargeback through my credit card and got my money back. Then the store came back begging me to cancel the chargeback of course.
The cables themselves are a lot thinner and flimsy feeling than the photos suggest.

If it's too good to be true--it ain't true. That's a law of nature!

I've always wonder who ends up buying these expensive headphone cables from these no-name Ali Express audiophile shops. I can understand their cheaper cables as good value and I know some of the shops like NiceHCK have built a small reputation. But cables in the several hundred dollar range? I'm curious how you ended up deciding to buy these.

Genuine question: why do people buy aftermarket cables? Especially $100+ worth

A lot of AE storefronts will show off these big coupons but they usually only work on specific products, not for everything in their store. Aliexpress has their own codes that work on your whole order.

[–] FdPros@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

some of these coupons are probably only product specific.

if they work and you have collected the coupon which you have, they should be automatically applied to the item on checkout and you should see the discount.
