Looks like its just a few people who have this prob. I ordered mine yesterday and they weren't even supposed to be in stock until the 30th but they are being delivered tomorrow. If I do get HD25SP, Ill just try them out to see if i even like them (since I have never really liked on-ears) then ask for amazon to send me a HD25-1ii or refund or if I go hulk on them to let me have the HD25SP for a discount or something.

Yes.  I am one of those people.  Amazon immediately offered to refund me, which is cute, but not what I want...I want HD25-1 II's!

Good news people I just got my HD25-1ii from amazon definitely not HD25SP, so I'm pretty sure most people will get the correct order. First impressions are good, sound is pretty good and these things are hilariously small. I think the whole box (which came in great condition too) is still lighter than my M50s and they seriously feel like a toy. I don't know who said these are good at isolation thou cause I think my DT880 are better (and they are not good).

Yeah the build quality leaves a lot to be desired but I guess for the price I can't complain too much. =p The all-plastic build makes me hesitant to be too rough with it, but at the same time not care so much about throwing it in and out of my bag daily.

I found them to have excellent isolation. I was able to block out pretty much all the noise in a cafe that was blasting music and was filled with people talking.

Same, I use these at school in the student lounge and the hd-25's block all noise. The only time I don't get the amount of isolation I want is when walking near a busy street, but there are very few types of headphones or IEMS that can block out that amount of noise completely

Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

What is this? Is this from everyone getting HD25-SPs instead of HD25-IIs? Does this mean no more $130 HD25-IIs?

I believe I ordered mine a day or so before you and it arrived today too. HD25-1 II, not the HD25SP.

If anybody is feeling lucky, there is a new seller who offers the W4 (new) for 300 $ on Amazon:

I agree.  I think the isolation claims on them is quite overrated.
