I am actually surprised Audeze did not reply to me nor it seems like they tried to shut down that particular auction.  THe fact that the seller did give me the serial number means that he actually did not know it was stolen.  Anyway, there are probably many on ebay that will be stolen.

Have you contacted them via website contact page? https://www.audeze.com/contact-us
 
If it's from email, it might have went to spam folder depending on your domain/provider.  Although they have hired professional investigator, I believe any information will be great.  We should keep up the work and contact Audeze directly if any suspicious activity has been found.

Thanks for the suggestion. I contacted them through their website and they thanked me for the info 30 mins later...hope they find those thieves

  I am not sure about that listing you wrote but this other ebay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audeze-LCD-X-High-Performance-Planar-Magnetic-Technology-Headphones-NEW-/311353357169?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 is definitely stolen stock because I actually asked them for the serial number and it is Serial # 7456618 and it states stolen on the audeze website.  I sent a message to the security email address at Audeze a few days ago but did not get a reply from them and the auction is still going on.
 

 
Interesting. I don't think anyone has gotten an serial number to show up stolen. There are a few more on ebay that have shown up in the last 24 hours from pawn shops in West LA. Listed as "new" that still have headbands wrapped in plastic.
 
Maybe the "shipped to Asia" theory is off base.

I hope Audeze is staying up to date. Catching a criminal selling a "boutique" set of headphones shouldn't be as difficult as one selling a package of stolen Dre Beats

So, it looks like the auction was not shut down despite the serial number info I passed to Audeze.  It sold for 1275

Based on the seller giving the serial number and not concealing any information I doubt they were in cahoots.
 
 I'm sure Audeze used the info and handed it over to the police. They're probably more interested in using the information to trace how the pawn shops got them than shutting down an auction. It's not really our place to try and head-fi police every audeze listing and auction.

I kind of agree with you. We doing this, might actually hurt audeze a little, no? i mean if we always slow down everyone who wants to buy or sell audeze, their popularity might fall.

Thanks for the tip. Ebay does not allow us to contact them directly. We passed it on to the police and the police actually got this particular headphone from the pawnshop and it has been sent to the CostaMesa PD as evidence.  Looks like the pawnshop did not know it was stolen.
We really appreciate you guys looking out for us and keeping an eye. No other information besides recovery of one headphone is available from the police at the moment.

Good luck , I hope the police via the pawn shop are able to backtrack the origin of this headphone. At least people are on the lookout.

Glad to see that my tip worked out for you.  Yes, the pawnshop musn't have known given that he freely provided me the serial number by email even though I had given him the reason for asking for the serial number.  Will continue to keep my eyes out for such events.

I think that the police could fiind something by fingerprints, or by organic traces.
 
I hope that audeze will be back on it's feet soon and everything will work nicely in the end!

This looks a bit suspicious. $800 brand new?

Just noticed a bunch of headphones (LCD-2 bamboo, LCD-2 rosewood, LCD-3, LCD-X and LCD-XC) in seemingly unopened boxes on ebay. All from the same seller, located in the Philippines.
