The BA200 is also more affordable at MSRP, and at street prices (in the right countries). It's just a shame it's very difficult to find.



Thanks for the response :-)  I found a store in London but would there be customs fees shipping to the states?

I don't know what the customs fees would be, but another US user got it from Stereo in Singapore at a pretty good price. I can ask if there were any fees incurred through that purchase...

 

There may be even better places to buy it, but I'm not aware of it at the moment... TDK distribution really sucks, unfortunately.

Treoo.com sells it as well. They do ship worldwide and service is fantastic.

I'm getting BA200 from them (ETA 1-2 days) as my previous order for the GR07 fell through due to some issues.

Their site looks pretty good.  Can someone comment on pricing for me?  I'm still between a few sets, as mentioned in the previous post. These would be $269 including shipping from London.  Good/Bad?  I think shipping is what really bumps the cost up.

What else can you get for the same price out the door? In certain Asian countries, these can be had just a bit more than half that price, but it seems like these sellers don't ship internationally. I wouldn't be disappointed at $269 with regard to SQ, but if you can find something like the Shure SE425, which is almost as good in sound quality with better build quality and local retailers/warranty, I'd say that that's the better buy. The BA200 will hit US store shelves in the fall, and it will almost definitely be priced under the MSRP of $250. If you can wait that long, then that's an even better bet.

Lol! Worth the punt at that price! Won't mention were ordered from until we see what comes through my door in case they send something completely different!!

I can get the Shure 425 for around $239 (315 around $175-200), Triplefi 10 for $180. I will admit that the TDK's in black look quite sexy smily_headphones1.gif I'm not a huge fan of clear.

I know! They are a legit business though I've bought from them before and use to buy from their own shop plenty of times. Might check out the store during lunch tomorrow only 10 min walk away from my office.

Sure is , but don't want anyone taking a risk if it turns out to be dud cool.gif I took the risk as they are so close to my work place down the road so I can storm in if it's dud! I should wait and check out the store but I'm impatient!

Let's hope that it is legit! Finally, some hope for people not in Asia...

Isn't there a silver version of the 425? I wouldn't go for the 315 or the TF10, BTW. Anyways, let's see if this place p2A810wner ordered from pans out.
