Hi there guys!
I've been reading quite a lot this great site looking for some advice to buy a new pair of closed cans and I'm glad to say that yo've helped so much in taking the final decision. Beleive it or not, I'm now in Team Sennheiser 280 Pro.
Now let's go straight to the info on the subject. Today i've discovered that Canman AB at http://www.directman.com/, a sweddish company is selling the new iRiver iMP-550 and iMP-500 players. For those of you not knowing a word in this language follow the link but if you want to browse the site you only have to select from the drop down list in the top left where it says *Välj produckt här! and select 2. CD/HDD MP3 and click on Visa.
Now for the figures. I think the prices are in Swedish Krona wich currently exchanges 1 SEK for 0.10919 EUR and 1 SEK for 0.12722 USD.
So how much they cost?
- iRiver iMP-550 2795 kr - 305 EUR - 355 USD
- iRiver iMP-500 2995 kr - 327 EUR - 380 USD
- iRiver iMP-400 2295 kr - 250 EUR - 290 USD
I think this prices are right because the iMP-400 price is similar as the actual street price here. If you see the difference between the new models and the iMP-400 you can see it's a 22% for the iMP-550 and 31% for the iMP-500.
I don't know if I'm going to wait for the iMP-550 to come around here or go straight to a sweddish on-line store that I don't even know how to read, but my heart is telling me to go for it right now.
I've confirmed this checking the retailers availability in the official iRiver website. Try to lookup for those models at http://www.iriver.com/area/list.asp and you'll see that this one is the only dealer carrying this models. I'm sure I'll check back often these URL.
Hope this first post put a light on those of you waiting for this beautie,
