There is this guy on eBay who sells the Denon for an average price of 90$: http://cgi.ebay.com/Denon-AH-C700-Si...:B:SRCH:US:101
I still haven't got one (another guy edged my offer, and won the C700 for 91$), but I thought it could be useful for a few of us.
EDIT: last auctions ended at 30-40$. I don't know if they are fake, tho.

Let me do some more extensive listening, and then I'll repost.
Well, I, for one, am still waiting anxiously...

considering they are not well known, that they can be found for $150 in stores when official retail is $200, and that denon has allready announced, shown and soon to market the C751, which is the C700 replacement, finding them for $40-$60 on ebay wouldnt be outside the limits of logic, and considering seller is in the US, unless the guy brings fake ones from another source, then i think its all good,
anthony, $40 does seem a strangely low price. Did you look at 'completed listings' on eBay to see what other ones had sold for? Also, as happy and in love with my Denons as I am. . . the thought I could have picked up a pair for $40 makes me
Maybe, as Aevum suggested, they're not well known yet, and with the impending release of the 700 update. . . if I didn't have a pair, I'd have taken the risk and bought the $40 ones, mainly because it's not a huge financial risk and the risk of them being fakes is highly unlikely. I'd like to pick up a backup pair for myself at that price!

In the meanwhile, I contacted Bluetin to make them aware of the low prices on ebay, and they have reduced their price by a whooping 5$. Now the C700 are 113$.

The pricing on ebay is very distressing. I got my Denons last week. Because of comfort issues, I am trying to sell them. It looks like I'm going to loose a bundle when I sell (paid $130). Timing is everything I guess. I am bummed!
Honus, I paid $125 (+ $25 shipping). I don't know how this seller is able to price them at $40. . . it's the bargain of the century. Unfortunately, I can't even get a second pair as backup because the seller doesn't ship outside of the US

40$ sounds way too cheap...like "too good to be true". We know there are fake Shures and Audio Technicas at ebay why not Denons? I'd rather pay more at bluetin and have peace of mind i got the real thing
I got the pair for sale yesterday. When I'll receive them, I'll report. Those Denons could be last pairs before the new model comes out, and this could be the reason for this stock being so cheap.

After reading the great review - and all the 5 pages with it - I am leaning towards Denons.
But when can we expect the new models? Because I can not find anything about them on google, except for "coming August", which of course ain't possible as it's already September.
I am also waiting for the Shure SE110's which are coming next week, but I love the brand Denon and if the first generation of their earphones are already that good, we can expect great things from the upcoming new models!
