It would be great if they begin with an early bird discount, kickstarter campaign or any kind of bargain for the people in head-fi that has been waiting one year for the release (supporting long before the hype of the ear protectors)

I've ordered them too. Great price and hopefully even greater product.

So only the Pro's as an option currently. Was hoping there would be options without the wireless module.

Yes I've been looking at the new Etymotics (good reviews), but buying British - does look a really well thought out introduction. If they're better than the R2Pro's I'll be delighted!
Was kind of hoping for a non-pro version...but dang these look tempting. Now I really have to start budgeting for this pro package!

400€!!!
I never expected to buy a pro version, it's not in my budget. I like my r2a and wanted their evolution, specially because of durability (they were unacceptably weak and Flare has stopped providing new cables, letting die the product) that's why i waited (not buying another models to save money) since they were expected to launch in september 2016. I also expected some discount for early birds, nothing created by my imagination, that's what they transmitted informally and Jobbing told us in his generous first post. I quote:
"The indicated regular Kickstarter pledge level will be discounted off the expected MRSP. In addition, a limited number of FLARES® pairs (of all three versions) - commonly known as “Early Bird” rewards - will be made available at a special discount to those backing the project first, as a gesture of appreciation of the involvement of the Kickstarter and Head-Fi community."
So i'll wait to see if there are more news, but for the moment i feel tricked. There are worse things in life, however...
