Do you guys think the prices will be lower than the CDJapan prices when/if they become more available? Right now, it looks like I can buy IM02 on CDJapan for only $20 or so more than the current asking price of the IM70 on ebay. 
 
Also, any expected release or announcement date for the TE05s, because I plan on picking between those and one of these ATHs?

I'd like to get one of those IM50.. Looks like it would fit my sound sig preference.

yes the should be lower when released. I think about 150-ish for im02 and under 100 for the im70

Alright, awesome! I'm really looking forward to more reviews/impressions for this series. So far, Vain III's impression has me pretty pumped for these. 
 
Thanks!

Looks like the Ath-im70 is the crowd favorite for the moment
On reflection I think it deserves a place in my collection just on price and innovation regardless of the outcome of my little contest
My only concern is how the 10 Ohm impedance will get on with my gear
A side effect of running the twin drivers in parallel, just a guess
Not sure what advantage there is in blasting one driver straight into the back of another but it is an interesting idea

10 ohm impedance is low yes, but anything under 1 ohm output impedance should be ok as a source...

 It kind of reminds me of KEFs uniq driver, but definitely works on a different principle. I'll post quick impressions tomorrow!

Loving the sound, warm, detailed.

Emphasis on mid bass and midrange. Treble has wonderful presence and sparkle.
