It sucks to be European..

I just registered to tell you that I live in France and I bought it yesterday.
I paid 

364,63 USD including the delivery with UPS.​

To Sweden, that would add 25% VAT

I've contacted support enquiring into whether or not the new batch have issues rectified or not.

Hopefully hear positive news soon.

I called and spoke with a support rep.  He stated he "thought" that this latest batch had 3 changes: 1) a different finish on the cups (unclear how that would help anything) 2) a different cable and 3) some kind of improvement to the headband.  Take all of this with a grain of salt because he was not 100% sure.  Time will tell when folks start getting them in.

A different finish can mean better wood, that doest dry out in climates other than its origin, or could mean the grills are not surgical grade razor blades anymore. Maybe both, either would improve the quality of the product, so it helps

At what time did they get in stock in France?

For France too, it's 19,6% + the customs duty.
This will probably add an extra 100€ to the price.
I will try to contact Monoprice to know if they can help me with that....
I will let you know how it goes.

  Out of stock now...

 
Damn, that was fast ! they should have limited the orders to one only to stop people from mass buying them for profit.

Oh this is wonderful news, at-least we can be somewhat hopeful we're getting a better product.
Indeed we will see if it holds any fruit when they arrive and start being used.
 
Still keen to see what I get back from my contact.
 
Thanks for the input, appreciated heaps.

I don't pay for my medicine and health care my insurance company does which if not paid for by my employer is cheaper than the vat taxes and other taxes in the EU. Nothing is free you pay one way or another. It's just a matter of who chooses how your money is spent.

I have a replacement pair coming says will ship Monday. Hopefully this pair has the QC issues addressed.

With the ETA time set to 4/24 after the 4/21 batch sold out, there should be more available Monday it seems - so only a few days wait for the next batch available.

I would have potentially jumped on these again but decided to hold off to see if any of the issues actually got resolved.
