I just checked; it's around $190 street price, so I guess somewhere in the middle.
Must have been dropped because of the DN-2000.

I thought it'd always been $190?
I bought mine at $190
Astrotec ax35 is more analytical and brighter than ATHIM50s. ATHIM50s sounds very thick, sounds very laid back and not as engaging. ATHIM50s is good for prolong listening and less distracting when listening to music and working at the same time.
Astrotec ax35's bass can overwhelm the mid causing it to sound a little at the back of stage. Sony's silicon tip makes the sound a lot clearer and punchy. Comply tip helps a tame the bass and accentuate the mids and the highs.
For those that think the AX35 have a little too much bass or not enough clarity, try experimenting with in-line resistance adapters.
Serial resistance will make the overall body sound leaner, but will improve transparency because the amount of time-misaligned overlap between the woofer and tweeter will decrease. The overall sound is more neutral sounding, at the expense of bass texture and control.
I've been using 64 ohms of resistance, but my guess is that ~50 ohms is probably just about right.
Interesting, I ordered a 50 ohm adapter to try out.
