I want to get some led headlight bulbs for my moto from this company as well, everything is ridiculously cheap and comes with free shipping to the USA? Which is why I'm hesitant.

I debated whether to IM this but probably others have had same thought.
 
I have ordered a LOT of low value electronic components off Ebay (LED's, laser diodes, laser engraver, voltage regulators, tone controls - you name it) from Chinese manufacturers and it's a bit like playing lottery.  Overall I've come out ahead.  Sometimes the components are higher quality than I expected and others I wouldn't use without a fire extinguisher handy. In that regard Ebay is perhaps a better bet as you can clearly see their scores.  [Although Everbuying gave me no hassle and complete refund on a programmable LED unit which used funky serial chip with Windows compatibility issues).
 
Pro's
  1. There are plenty of legitimate sellers and yes it really is that cheap (They all use "E-Packet" which I suspect is an optimized bulk system where everything is aggregated and placed in containers for shipment).
  2. I have received some excellent pieces from the more focused vendors i.e. Only sell audio not audio, iphone cases and women's fashion
  3. Have never had something go missing BUT your shipment is literally "On a slow boat from China" - plan ahead, it aint Amazon Prime.
 
Cons
  1. Frequently don't get any spec sheet > Refer back to listing
  2. Quality can be all over the map
  3. Specifications change and not reflected (Great control board but now the panel is green not black which doesn't match my project). Or you re-order same part, same vendor and internals are wildly different (probably redesign on the fly based on what components are cheapest at the time)
  4. Even if vendor is highly responsive shipping back defective piece is not really realistic - that's why I look at it as "lottery" and coming out ahead over many purchases

Rockets and 2.5 are quite good depending on preferences... pretty big cut on the new Bravo series too.

Audio-Technica MSR7 in black for $186 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-MSR7BK-SonicPro-High-Resolution-Headphones/dp/B00PEU9CFA/
 
The headphones are practically a steal already at their MSRP, this just makes it even better!
 
(Thanks to the MSR7 thread, btw: http://www.head-fi.org/t/738758/audio-technica-ath-msr7-discussion-thread)

Bit on the NVX-100's...basically $48.00 if consider the extra pads

Per the site...

"Included is a set of straight earpads which are ideal for anyone who wants a more traditional fit, and a set of angled earpads which give you a fit more contoured to the shape of the head; many listeners have found the angled design to be even more comfortable than the flat."
