These are actually sold by Beachcamera, not Newegg, and Beach is one of the worst retailers I've ever dealt with. They really suck. 

 
I believe you have had an awful experience, my experience with them is different. I have purchased a lot from Beach (and Buydig.com which is the same). and have had very good experiences. Buydig has a 98.9 positive rating on eBay which is not perfect but far from "really suck".
 
No doubt, they have done much worse by you.  
 
If you purchase through BeachCamera/ NewEgg  you do get an additional layer of support (which is probably also stressed this time of year.)   I had problems with Coolio (the Grado/New Egg vendor) and New Egg contacted them to get things moving on my behalf.

I'm glad you like them, I'm just saying that I'll never do business with them again and recommend others steer clear and go with more reliable sellers: https://www.yelp.com/biz/beach-camera-green-brook

It makes sense that they're also Buydig, I've had horrible service from them as well.

These are actually sold by Beachcamera, not Newegg, and Beach is one of the worst retailers I've ever dealt with. They really suck. How so? Well, I ordered a set of T90s from them on Black Friday and:

1. They took a week to ship my order (they weren't in stock, even though at the time they claimed they were), so I cancelled it, but then 3 days after cancelling they shipped it anyway (and double charged me).
2. At the time I originally ordered I upgraded my shipping from UPS Ground to FedEx 2-day (paid them an extra $10)... and they sent it out FedEx Smartpost (the slowest shipping on Earth, because it's actually FedEx handing off packages to the USPS). When I called them to find out what happened, after explaining what was going on they placed me on hold, and then promptly hung-up on me. I called again, and they hung-up again. Now they don't answer at all, they just leave me on hold indefinitely. I can only imagine how awful they are to deal with if you have to return something.

Avoid them at all costs... unless you like waiting >2 weeks to get your order, enjoy being ignored when there's a problem, and want to be double-charged (requiring intervention from your CC company).

I'm sorry to hear that, I never had a problem with them or Beach Camera or Buydig company that I got the T90 also a couple months ago by ebay and I returned (really nice headphones but not for my taste) with out any problems, I live in New York so my shipping is fast considering that they are located in New Jersey take like 2-3 days. This is my first time buying something directly thought they website and not on ebay, lets see how it goes, but I don't think Im going to return the DT 770

And I just get home and I found a big box with the Audeze logo in the front of my building, the LCD 2 that I got on Black Friday for $499, I was expecting the bamboo and I got the Rosewood!!

Next time, please post the actual deal
 
AUDEZE LCD-2 Planar Magnetic Headphones Aluminum Lambskin W/iFi micro iDSD Black
$995
 
Also, please remove the affiliate part of you link (actually, please edit and do it to your original post). For Adorama, it should look like this:
 
www.adorama.com/aulcd2latce.html?sdtid=9495519&emailprice=t
 
Note, the iFi micro iDSD Black Label Edition is an updated iDSD (I think), not just a black version.
 
I wonder what the breakdown of the items is. People have had some luck buying the bundle, then returning one of the items, which makes the other item a really good value.

A question:  did we not receive a post from one of our moderators that the affiliate part of the link is no longer an issue (Currawong I believe)?  Perhaps I'm confusing what he posted, but I thought the issue related to folks trying to get credit for sales and that was no longer a risk.

  Affiliate links are still not permitted. Currawong came in and spoke on the differences between an affiliate tag and a search tracking tag that was added by Amazon. Whenever possible please use the shortest and most direct url, like Allanmarcus did in his post.

 
Thanks for the clarification.  I believe the thread does a good job of self monitoring.  I wasn't clear on the difference between the two.

The description on the website seems to agree with you're saying about being something new and not just a color change.

If the breakdown is anything like prior bundles I would expect them to be priced at $662.67 and $332.33 for the headphone and amp respectively.
