Looks like the sale started Sept 26 and they ran out about Oct 3.

  Given the current $/

£​

 exchange rate, I just ordered a new Mojo directly from Chord on Amazon UK including delivery here to the US for $438:
 
 
Chord original price : 

£399​

 

less VAT               : ​

£332.50​

 ​

 

plus shipping        :  ​

£9.95​

 

--------------------​

 
Total                  :  

£342.45​

 
I charged it to my Capital One MC and paid in British pounds rather than dollars because Capital One charges the real exchange rate with no fees.
 
Total charged to my card $438  !!

  Sonic Electronix has the Beyer MMX 102ie for $20, crazy these thing were $120 two years ago
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_78062_Beyerdynamic-MMX-102-iE-White-Silver.html

how is the sound signature on these? For $20, I wouldnt mind giving them a try.
 
 

   
 
I have the X2's and have enjoyed them. They come with comply tips so no need to purchase them (BlueBuds didn't). That said, I would buy these instead: https://www.adv-sound.com/collections/all-collection/products/model-3
 
Back to back against my X2's I think the soundstage is a lot nicer. WAY more separation than the X2's, which is something I've been missing. Not too mention the can be used as wired IEM's as well. They're also $80.
 
Good initial review here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/advanced-sound/reviews/16962

Wow, they actually seem to be something I would definitely consider purchasing. Now I will be debating on these and the X2's.
 
Thannks for the info, both of you

One thing I forgot to mention that you might want to consider: if you're going for Jaybird, you might want to wait a little while as the X3's are on their way (Q3 or Q4 of this year). The advanced reviews are that they're better but naturally will also drive the price of the X2's down once they're released.

I disagree with some of the comments made here on the risks of buying from 3rd party vendors on Amazon.  As long as you purchase through the system (not fall for the ridiculous scams that try to get you to send them money directly) you could hardly find a safer place. I think you would have to be rather ignorant to fall for this stuff (no offense meant to the ignorant). 

I do avoid "just launched" vendors....unless their listing is very specific with photos.  In any case, is easy to get a refund.

I agree that third party purchases through the Amazon system are safe...I have made many.

It is the "Just Launched" vendors that ask you to circumvent amazon's payment system (e.g put in cart or one click orders), where they ask you to contact them on a separate web address and ask for an Amazon gift card as payment. Apparently Amazon scours its site for these, but cannot catch them instantly, so they are there for a time.

Can't believe these are only $25.  I prefer them over the V-Moda M80 (original retail ~$200) and every other on/over ear HP I've had to date.  Unbelievable value.

I received a white set of Onkyo ES-FC300 for $25. Remarkable sound quality. Bass is a bit over emphasized but tolerable. Bass lovers may like the bass. Very good mids. Decent treble. Not very comfortable due to small size. Definitely worth up to $50.

Yesterday, Amazon had some violet ones for $40 plus $5 shipping. No longer available.
