ok this may be a silly question, but its a question that I have no answer for nonetheless.

there are ad700s on audio cubes for 149+ shipping. there are a couple of other sites out there that have them for 109, including buy.com, but they all say import series, are these the same headphones?? id really like to save the 50 dollars if I could.

also buy.com is currently out of stock there is another site that has them for 109, but im not sure about them, as ive never heard of them, their called audio discounters, anyone know about them.

there are also a few on ebay

I guess judging by the lack of replies it may not be a good idea to order these from ebay??

I know there have been some fake audio technicas on ebay, but I don't know about any specifics, I think it was mostly about the ES7s

otherwise I don't trust eBay all too much with new items but that is just me

The import series is the correct name for them. I would suggest getting them from a place like buy.com, audiocubes, etc. They will have a return policy.

the unfortunate fact at the moment is that buy.com is currently out of stock, dont know when they will get more, I have it set to email me when they do. as for audiocubes their price is 149 + shipping, totaling to about 160 shipped, about 50 dollars more than buy.com. I guess maybe ill just have to wait until buy gets more. the seller that claims to be an authorized dealer, #2, offers a 30 day return policy. ive messaged him with the basic questions about the product and return policy, that said the problem with ebay is people can basically say anything they want with little or no repercussions and I would have little recourse if I get screwed. the seller does in fact have a website proper where he also sells equipment, he has the ad700s listed there for 149. I also asked him why hes selling them so much cheaper on ebay. im still waiting for a reply to my questions, hopefully tomorrow since I messaged him at about 9pm.

well their loosing business, if the were 100 at audiocubes they would be bought and on their way to me. I called them and asked if they pricematched, they said no, I would really like to order from them, but im not going to spend 50 extra dollars just to buy from a sponsor.

It's not Audiocubes that wants to raise prices, but rather our weak US currency.

There's already another thread talking about this, so I won't elaborate.
