Soo wait, the LE case is actually made of brown tolex leather, not genuine leather?

Affirmative.  IMO it looks much classier in photos that it appears in real life.

^^^ The Edition 8LE box is one of the very finest I've seen/owned...my 2 cents anyway.

It had better be for three hundred smackers lol.

Ok guys, the case and bag can only be ordered by contacting Ultrasone customer service. Apparently they want you to pay by PayPal. I wish they'd make a link on the website though.

turns out my set was defective, ultrasone actually told ME that they feel my set needs to be replaced.  I am very sad right now, please someone hug me as i look just like spongebob in my avatar here

What was defective about it exactly?
 
*hugs*

I am having vibration issues, I explained it in my review.   It is forcing too much air up and out directly into my ear and causing that inner   material in the center of the earpads to flutter up and down.

Sorry I haven't been following this for a while, but I noticed many have been trying to find a good deal on ED8
 
RMC audio Direct still gives 25% off on Ultrasone ( They just don't advertise it). Just call them and ask for Eric. When you talk to him, mention that you would like to get the 25% off on ED8 or ED10. Apprently it has something to do with the selling rules. Ultrasone Cali still have several ED8 LE and you can still get one delivered to you within a week.
 
hope that helps...

Hey, thanks for the heads up-- so one could call Eric @ RMC and order a pair of LE for 25% off? And even though RMC's website says it's out of LEs, they can still get one? Thanks.

Gosh I don't know what I have to say to Eric to get him to sell a LE for $1500. ^^

25% off of $1999 would be $1500.  No, you cannot get the Edition 8 LE's for $1500 at RMC audio.  You can however get them for $1299. (35% off.)

I guess part of my disappointment stems from really liking the ruthie bag and thinking the case would be covered in the same.  It's a nice case otherwise, stitching nice and clean.  Don't think it's worth anywhere near $300 though.

They show out of invertory on their website, because the inventory is held at Ultrasone California. When you place an order with RMC, they will place an order with Ultrasone, and once RMC receives the pair they will ship it to you for free. So yes,  you pay $1124.25 for Ruthenium, $1274.25 for Palladium, and 1499.25 for LE. Thats what I paid for all three pairs.  I have bought over 4 pairs within last 10 months from them. Last one I got was in April (ED8LE), and deal is still good but they don't advertise it for some odd reason.  Also want to point out that they are Authorized dealer, because I had an issue with my Palladium and I had to get it replaced (Ultrasone replaced it).
 
I just want to point out that I am in no way affiliated with RMC. If you want a proof then you can look through this thread (earlier pages) and other ED8 threads where I have commented about my experience with ED8, but I never commented OR mentioned RMC. I am only mentioning it right now because I noticed many have been looking to get a good deal. But I have had not issues with acquiring ED8 from them

Boss, how did you do that? You clearly found 1 hell of a deal.

That was the "sale" price in the system they quoted me.  Didn't deal with Eric, I dealt with Bo.  It's weird, because when I told Sound Earphones (who guaranteed a price match,) they said that that was their cost.  RMC must order in some serious bulk to be able to sell at that kind of price.
