  Why does the amazon and ebay etymotic mc2 look different? The amazon one looks metalic and glossy, while the ebay one looks cheap and plastic. I'd like to buy it from amazon, but I have a doubt that the cheap looking one plastic one's going to get shipped

 
The MC2 is plastic. The image shown on the eBay is the older version. The image shown on Amazon is the newer version. Here's the link to the newer version on Amazon. The older version is the one available for $20.
 
This search shows both side by side. It shows the original image on the search page but the new image when you open the listing.

  Thanks for the input! So if its the old version thats on sale, its not a super good deal is it. 

 
I had the HF3 which was the upgraded version of the MC3. The MC3 didn't sound bad but the HF3 was an overall upgrade in every area. Faster, more accurate, more air. I'm guessing the differences are the same between the MC2 and HF2. Still a good deal for $20.

  Yep, doesn't look legit at all. Stay away.
 
You can get them for $550 brand new with the full warranty from an authorized dealer by purchasing them from RazorDogAudio.com with coupon code RAZORDOG100. However, they are currently showing as out of stock. Get in touch with Brian I'm sure he's got some more on the way.

I just took advantage of this offer and got my 700's in the mail today. So pumped to break them in!

Has some Sennheiser deals again. Here are three of the five. Not shown are the MX680 and PMX680. 
 
HD428 - $29.99 - Code: CQF538XC
 
HD439 - $39.99 - Code: HCFM4C
 
HD518 - $74.99 - Code: HCHD5C  - Amazon is currently offering at $77.73.
 
They had these up not too long ago, but saw them again today and thought if someone missed them here is another chance to pick up a pair.

I had bought the mc2 last week from secondipity for $29 and the one I got was the new version. It does not sound great but it is good for the price I paid. It is the same seller so I would guess it may be the new one.

Where do you put in the code? I have the item in my cart, but I'm not seeing a place to put in the promo code at checkout...
Never mind, found it.

When you add them to cart it'll take you do your cart. From there there is a little check box under the "Update Cart" button that says "Use a Promo Code". 
When you check the box a new box will appear for you to put in the coupon. 
 

 
Glad you found it. For those that have the same problem, here is a picture.

The HF earphones are not upgraded versions of the MC earphones. HF's are balanced armiture and MC's are dynamic.
