Yeah, I've dealt with JR before and they are great, but I can't believe they are not recognizing the price mistake. Maybe when they actually create another order from HiFiman, they'll see what's going on.

 
Maybe its not a mistake

.  Wishful thinking though.

I just got a backorder e-mail from JR......I may just get them after all......they said they were going to fulfill as soon as possible and no cancellation.......maybe......just maybe.....

Thats awesome to hear... It looks like JR is gonna come through on this one.  Also, I just noticed that JR has just listed the Hifiman 601 for 50 bucks, but also temporarily out of stock... I'm starting to think its not a mistake and they're trying to clear stock of these for some reason.  Perhaps they're about to be discontinued real soon?

The mini coaxial connectors stick out so far that they push against the top of my desk when I hang these from my nice headphone stand.  What do you guys use to hang these from?  Or is there some kind of case I could lay them down in?  I wouldn't mind a diy headphone "bed" of some kind if anyone knows a box that woudl work perfectly

J&R is a fine retailer but they are not an authorized HiFiMAN dealer. We have no idea where they are getting this product or if it is even genuine.

So they haven't placed any orders with you? This is weird.

Yeah it's a weird occurrence for sure. I went ahead and bought one of the HM-601 anyway. We'll see what happens. I've already been charged.

JR has been a reputable dealer of audio equipment for quite a long time. This is surprising information for sure. The price was so good that warranty or other didn't even enter into my decision making.

+1, they've already taken my money for both so I'm in the same boat.  Waiting patiently for an update from J&R.

if they are serial numbered, it should be easy to figure out

I got mine from jr.com  The card that came with mine had two numbers on it.. are they for the individual drivers?   these are the numbers, I'd appreciate if hifiman could give me any info I need to know about it

J&R has not placed any orders with HiFiMAN. We know them and have great respect for their business. However they have not signed on as a HiFiMAN dealer so we have no idea what they are offering.
 
I asked Fang and he has no knowledge of it either. I am contacting J&R to ask them about it.
 
I did notice J&R was also showing a HiFiMAN car audio amp. It is actually a HiFonics and it was simply mislabeled.

Well, considering people have already received HE-300s for the $100, I'm not too worried about the order I placed. Seems like way too much work to fake a HiFiMan-style headphone/DAP, for one. I guess the other alternative would be ill-gotten items? Wouldn't really make sense from them.
 
I will probably not do business with them again though, if they charge me and do not ship the product, given that most places would wait to actually charge my card until shipping.

Depending on how you paid, it could be against policy and/or the law...
 
I know it's against Visa/Mastercard policy to charge a customer card prior to shipment...

So the plot thickens...  It looks like JR removed the listings for both items, but I was still sent a backorder notice for the he-300s.  Maybe they'll come through... maybe they won't... but I find it strange they didn't outright cancel the order.
