I ordered a new ATH-MSR7 (sold & fulfilled by Amazon) and that's what I received - something that has been definitely used before. Grease, fingerprints and dandruff everywhere (my smartphone cam did not cover it well - in reality, it looked worse and was pretty disgusting). Yikes!
It was sold with a "recyclable packaging" which is nothing but a "frustration-free packaging", which actually means that there is no classical neutral cardboard packaging but the product is shipped with the shipping label stuck directly to the product package (not a clever thing imho, especially as Audio Technica does not seal their product packages).
Was it already a used product in their warehouse? Did someone in the transport chain take my headphones for a test-drive? Is the story of the mail man who takes the recipient's headphones out to audition actually true? All of these situations could be the case.
 
Good thing though, the MSR7 was exchanged and the replacement I received today (with express courier service) was fortunately new and was packed in a neutral cardboard box.
So in the end, it turned out well.

Absolutely love MSR7, still use it daily with my laptop
 
I think the previous owner of your original pair exchanged it for a supply of dandruff shampoo

Rose Technologies thread

They've got a Taobao shop (LINK to their shop - use Google translate for some fun, lol). Pudding is available on Easy Earphones, while HCK has several Rose Technologies IEM.

I was introduced to Rose Margaret by Paulpark222 and would love to hear more someday.
