Well...they sound pretty effin great. And line up with how I've seen them described, such as in this review:
http://www.radicalbeam.com/euphonica/audio-technica-ath-ckr9ltd/



There's even a numbered sticker thing on the box(the 1526) and the barcode is functional. These may in fact be factory rejects like ds said, but the only issue I can see is some gold paint where it shouldn't be by the strain relief of the left 'phone.


Here's a pic of the tips if someone wouldn't mind comparing them to their CKR9/10 tips.


The case. It uses a magnetic clasp.



The plug.



They certainly sound legit.


Comparisons to come...

Everything looks as it should.

Nice find!

Was there also a yellowish paper inside the box? Oh please share your impressions on them asap. 

No there wasn't. They weren't fully sealed; I suspect they had been opened up and inspected.

 

[Dsnuts]

So it seems these were rejected due to sloppy paint. But at $200 or so less? Great find..

Congrats, Selenium, on the safe arrival of your apparently slightly blemished CKR9LTD!

Now I may buy it as well.
 
Though I want to back up trinity audio first.

do they have the writing on the inner facing side that looks legit also? ( and yellowish paper inside box LOL)
 
thanks for taking the plunge saw them a bit ago and not sure

Nice, so far so good

 
good for you man! looks sick!

 

[RedJohn456]

Great find! How do they compare to the R2A? Do you still have a link where you bought it from if you don't mind me asking? I might get one too

I want to wait until I get some overnight(and also while I'm at work) burn-in on them before doing any comparisons. One thing I can say for sure is they have excellent PRaT. Can't stop head bobbin and toe tappin. I would recommend anyone who's thinking of getting a set remain cautious as perhaps I just got lucky. But here is the link:

Something else I've noticed that's barely, well, noticeable, is that the strain relief of the left earphone has an ever-so-slightly bigger gap between it and the housing than the right phone.

Slight paint blotch and bigger gap... you won't be able to go out in public with them lol!
 
Kidding of course. If they are the real things but with a few cosmetic blips, it's an awesome deal. Looking forward to your continued impressions!

 

[PeterDLai]

Yup. I can never get a good deal with the stock JVC tips. The Honor tips work pretty well, even with the wide bore.

As much as I love me some KZ, these are clearly a step above. They make the ED10 sound rough, which shocked the crap out of me. The ED10 is pretty boss.

Over-ear wear is fine. The little fins don't seem to get in the way, at least not for me.

 
How flush do they sit in your ears? One of the pictures make it look like the entire body fits underneath the tragus of the wearer's ear. Is this accurate?

Hey, page 2000!!!!!!

Not bad

They sit very flush, but not under the tragus for me. Heck, even the Fidue a31s stick out of my ears a bit and they are miniscule. I can definitely see the FXH30 fitting under the tragus for some people though.

Seems like a slow day so here

A few things I have gathered from my reading. A bit V-shaped and big time treble with regards detail, extension. Seems a tweak with some changes(cable length, better iso) is coming in the HS1002. Plans for a higher HS1021 as well. Worth keeping an eye on for the improved and higher end versions for sure it seems.
