I was totally thrilled when I saw koss phones in my local elctronics store today... And even more so when I saw they carried the PortaPro. However, the thrill went away shortly after when I discovered their price of about $100.

Well, at least we can get beyers and senns for cheap here in Europe.

Agreed. The Portapros are great phones but they're great inexpensive phones. I couldn't imagine paying that much for them.

Blame that ********* U.S.-to-Europe monetary exchange rate, and spectacular ********* tariffs that some European countries levy on imported products from companies based in the U.S.!!!

That's included.

I don't know how differing VAT rates are dealt with though. The only item I've ever bought in Europe via the net had VAT added at the suppliers country rate (20%

Oh, I almost forgot...

The portapros go for $25 plus shipping off of Koss' website here in the US. That's after a 50% discount, so they are regularly $50 plus shipping (but can probably be found at discount shops for maybe $30-40.
