@Unknown364,

Thomann Music is one of the biggest pro audio retailers in Europe with stores in the USA as well so if you are close to any of their stores, I suggest go there & demo.

In general terms, B Stock means there is usually a cosmetic issue, eg, maybe light scratch &/or mark on the product, or in some cases, Open Box etc.
What is wrong with getting the new one?

Honestly, you're not saving a whole by choosing B Stock & you're getting a BRAND NEW UNIT as opposed to potentially used or potential problems.

I live in Israel and there is no place here where they got this demo units believe me


Okay, makes more sense.

I face a similar issue myself, there are only a limited number of places for me to demo gear otherwise it is often rolling the dice.

Does Israel have no pro audio shops around ?

Otherwise, you might have to play the try & return game.

Thers are places but they dont have demo units. Only selling iems


As said, you might have to roll that dice.

But as said, hard to go wrong with E70.

Very, very different performer, the mid range excels, especially if you have a good source.

Hope you have a great day !

I dont have anywhere to test the e70.
And i want an upgrade to the e40 not an earphone that sound the same....
Anyone?
Thanks
E70 really doesnt have the same tuning as other AT Models, im not sure id recommend it if you like E40's tuning.
It and R70x stands as AT's neutral-ish tuning, they sound nothing like their consumer products.
Easy rec for AT lovers: IM02/LS200
OR
Really if you want something that sound different but still have emphasis on midrange: try JVC HA FX1100/1200
