Man this seems like it might a perfect phone for me as the review made it sound kind of balanced, and it has hooks, which is a nice bonus. I want to be sure but, I take it these are not out yet? And at $55-60 that seems like a good deal.

How many is a few days? 6? If they cost under 55 I will probably get them over the RE0 and use some custom tips.

I've been quoted $65. I don't know what custom tips you intend to use, but the PL30s/PL50s come with some nice foamies that I find quite comfortable (I use these on RE0s as well).

I was thinking as suggested in other threads the Shure Olives?
I guess I have to see what I may like better, and which works better for me these or the RE0.

Two online Uk shops have it in for a rather extortionate £55. Really it should be closer to £35... oh well...

Hm... check out on focalprice, they got some pl50 like earphones there for 38$.
I think u should contact soundmagic and ask them about these.
well, i guess these are not real, description says generic.
Pretty crazy tho how fast those knockoffs comes out.

I think (hope) the ones on focalprice are not fake. Focalprice has been selling real soundmagic products, and it's hard to believe someone will want to knock off soudnmagic. Maybe they list them as generic, since they are selling them way below soundmgaic's MSRP of $55.
The $38 price tag is good, but not too good to be true. I ordered a pair earlier today.

I just happened to see this thread today: Audio-Technica ATH-ON3 @ Focalprice, genuine?
If u look at the picture theres a box, but read one of the posts there and the guy say it came with no box, so i think we shouldn't take the images for a fact.
Just like the other thread its really hard to tell whether these are real or not.
Theres no brand name in the product description, no model, it says generic... why would you do that if u sell genuine product?
But they do sell other genuine soundmagic products... Im on the edge of ordering but still little afraid.
I sent them a question about this, i hope they will respond.

I read in another pl-50 thread that a couple of weeks ago focalprice estimated they will have pl-50 by July 23. So this is right on time.

I sent an email, but not holding breath for reply. I am tempted to order also but that AT thread makes me nervous. How can they get away with selling fakes?
