These look similar to the Radius DDM2 and Brookstone dual drive:

They've dipped to about $35 before.... Having owned them I personally don't think they are worth $45, especially if one has the financial wiggle room of saving up for/buying something $100-ish. And if not, I think the Brainwavz Beta for $12 trumps A151.

So use coupon code BALANCED_ARMATURE for the IEM discount, and SHIPPING_COUPON for the shipping discount

Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3 on sale at Amazon.com for $104.99
 
This is a relatively new model that came out the end of 2011. Price has been $150. Reviews have been few and there hasn't been a general awareness/consensus on these IEMs and how they perform/compare. 
 
Link.

Thanks for the heads-up! I ordered a pair and to compare them to the Brookstone Clear Dual Drive I already have. Also - can't beat Costco's return policy :)

Really? I personally wasn't a fan of the Beta's and I hated their very bright sound signature but I really like my A151. I believe I paid around $13 for my Beta's and that was $12.99 too much IMO..
