After a lot of researching and reading of threads for a portable over the ear sealed pair of headphones that will best suit my needs I have decided on the ESW10 or ESW9 *if* I can get these cheap enough and they are not fakes vs. the ESW10.

Either way these headphones do not appear to be readily available from anyone (UK) but did notice I can source from Hong Kong from audiojack.com (there are also some really dodgy retailers out there as well) and the ESW9s at their advertised price may sway me to save some money and not go with the ESW10s afterall.

Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 Sovereign Wood Portable Headphones

Has anyone bought from this retailer, any experiences or advice on my sourcing problem, is there anyone else I should consider?

Thanks in advance

no experience with that shop, but bluetin (esw9 $260 at Japan store) and audiocubes (expensive at $330 but I don't know if these are sent from US, maybe you avoid customs?) are reliable.

Ha, ha... so just as soon as I managed to locate and purchase a pair (edition 3 of 150 for Europe) I see a pair starting at 260 pounds including case and shipping...

That said I did get a pretty reasonable price with next day delivery

Ah ha... a last minute upgrade perhaps hence the sale
