I just saw that Audio Cubes has the new Audio Technica 3000 headphone (Leatherhead) on pre-order status. The price? $2,499! Wow!!

So. Who is gonna take one for the team, and compare it to the R-10, to see if we have a new King?

Limited to 500 worldwide. Yikes.

US$2499, you must be jerking me off. If I can get them for about US$2000 excluding shipping will anyone be interested?

I generally find audiocubes to be pretty expensive relative to other sites.

GAR!!, I was going to make a thread about this, I just saw it on Audiocubes...haha, I was like WOW!!, anyway, that's rediculously expensive.

At this price, I think there are only few ppl review it......

 

[jpelg]

At that price, who in their right mind would take the chance, rather than spending a bit more and get a pair of R10's?

Really? I find them pretty expensive compared to having a friend over there who will do it for you, but other than that...do they really have any competition?

No.

It is limited edition and there only 500 in the world!

If you think it's too expensive than you probably cant afford it.

EIFL is the only competition to Audiocubes of which I know. However, they don't offer the depth of stuff that Audiocubes does.

I had originally thought these were going to go for $1,700 - $1,800. If I hadn't committed to about $6,000 in other audio related purchases recently, I'd have made the sacrifice. But not at $2,499. Maybe I'll live to regret it, but I guess unless you're the founder of Microsquish, or CEO of a company rebuilding Iraq, you can't afford everything.

At this point I'm hoping Nik or someone equally committed (insane?) pulls the trigger and tells us about them.

never heard of that site, what's the address?

Anyways, I bought my Sharp SD-NX10 for $200 from Sharp's outlet, when they sell it for something like $1,400 on audio cubes. I've seen other stuff cheaper in other places, too, but I still check audiocubes because they do get a lot of stuff other places don't.

As you can see they don't have a huge listed selection. But the guy that runs the site is really good about e-mailing responses, and will try to get what you need, even if it isn't listed. Don't know if he has an in with Audio Technica on the Leatherhead though.
