Somebody linked me to the D7000 page of their website, where it's being sold for $580. I am almost positive they aren't authorized resellers, but does anybody know if they're legit, as in are these headphones real or are they fakes?

That's the page, I'm just not sure what to do at this point. I don't really want to take the risk unless I'm sure it's legit.

I would stay away and wait until J&R gets then back in. You should be able to get them for around $600 and they will have a warranty. Here is a link I found on Karaoke........

BBB does not have information, why did you link it?

And you don't even explain why you would wait to buy it for $50 more. (You do mention the warranty but it's not clear that this is true.)

They are not an authorized dealer as far as I know. You can go to Denon and check.

Good Lord, it's my opinion. If you want to take a risk with an unaccredited vendor to save $50 be my guest.

Don't throw around "accreditation" like it means anything in this context. It's a registered business but they didn't pay the BBB fee and I don't blame them.

There was a discussion about them a few weeks back. Between the fibbing about BBB accreditation, low numbers of reviews on google checkout (that until recently never showed up on ResellerRatings.com if you clicked on them) and an apparent clone site, they seem a bit fishy.

p.s. the BBB explicitly mentioned that they had contacted them about their false claim, that had not been taken down from their site. BBB registration requires a few things to prove that they are legitimate and customers don't file complaints about bad/dishonest business practices so it can mean the difference between a scam and real site at least in this case.

It at least proves that they don't mind lying about things that are intended to build your trust enough to send them nearly a thousand dollars for a pair of headphones.

jp_zer0 sounds like your mind is made up and you're looking for affirmation, so just do it and let us know how it works out.

I take it you've spoken to J&R and they quoted you the price of around $600? Amazon, with whom they seem to partner on many of their products, is listing it at $899. That's a rather dramatic difference.

Good luck with that one, sir.

Hope it proves to be legit.

There have been many folks on here who have gone the J&R sales rep method and come out with these babies for under $600. There was either a separate thread for it or possibly buried in the fan thread somewhere.
