I ordered some about 2 months ago from Amazon for around $250ish and they ended up being fakes. I received an email before they were shipped as the supplier realised, so i was lucky and got a quick refund.

Watch who you buy from on Amazon (esp when the item is really cheap).

If they go any lower I will have to get them. If they do go lower, I hope they will be worth the kick in the balls that my girlfriend will be administering post checkout...

I haven't heard of anything at all on the subject. Maybe he got it confused with ESW9s?

Considering that I've seen it for under 220 several times last month, I'd say no. 249 is not a good deal on Amazon, and speak of the devil, it's going for 235 from AMAZON right now (not a reseller, but Amazon themselves).

Fun Fact: Buying from the Amazon Marketplace NEW from another reseller still gives you the original manufacturer's warranty, even if that reseller is not an authorized dealer, Amazon still is, and thus is fully backed up if you buy from them through Amazon (i.e. Etronics).

Hi

First allow me to thank you for the order you placed with Amazon.com.
I apologize for the inconvenience, however your order has not shipped because we have discovered that refurbished models were shipped to us by mistake. Since our warehouse manager found the items to be in less than the perfect, new condition they should have been, we refuse to sell them. We have returned the units as we cannot in good conscience sell anything that does not meet described expectations.

I assure you that we did everything possible to try and obtain more within a reasonable time frame, but we are unable to acquire more units at this time

As compensation for this unfortunate error, we would like issue a $5 Amazon gift card for you to enjoy, and use at any Amazon store. We are serious about our customer service, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter. We hope you will consider us again in the future.

Please watch for an email from Amazon containing a gift code to enter at checkout.

refurbished does NOT mean fake

it means it's a returned item being resold from the manufacturer or reseller

$ 222.49 direct from Amazon. Arrrgghhh!

 

[Surfaced]

$213 NIB shipped from PACE1025, an authorized retailer on Amazon who ships from NY. Even a frugal one like myself would consider this a good price. When it gets to this point you're really rolling the dice. Within the next 7 days, will it dip just slightly further or shoot back up? If you're on the fence maybe its time to make a move.

As for the fake thing, I've never heard of fake D2000s and I don't think they're quite so popular yet (MDR-V700DJ was in production for years and at market dominance before it started getting Chinese imitations). Refurbs are indeed what you got.

buying from an authorized amazon reseller will still give you the manufacturers warranty as well, but personally I would've felt more safe buying from Amazon directly.

 

[daigo]

I saw sold by amazon had the D2000's at $219 today.

 

[mritt400]

Down to $ 214.10 shipped! I am interested to see where this will bottom out...Of course I am sure I will wait too long and miss the absolute best pricing...

 

[Detroit]

That's 5 bucks less than I payed. I think you should strike now. Get them sooner and don't worry so much about scraping a few dollars.

 

[Feather225]

prices for denon headphones are so volatile.. thats why I always hesitates to purchase them..Grado, AKG, Senn are much more stable.. (but I did buy d7k though lol)
