I found them on Amazon, they are not incredibly overpriced and look nice. They have a "Newly developed dual chamber mechanism AR" and look to have a quality build!
 
Here is the link to them on Audio-Technica's website (make sure to translate the webpage unless you know Japanese

How might they compare to the Sony XBA-40s that have a qual balanced armature driver array? Would that put them in competition with the likes of the Westone W4?

Thanks, interested to hear if anybody has tried out these badboys.

Dont have the limited edition, but i did recently get the cks1000 for$155 shipped from japan thru tenso.  They are easily my favorite iems now, only thing ive heard that was better was my sm64s, at almost 3x the cost.
