I've decided to buy the Audio Technica ATH-ES7 to use with my iPod unamped for portable listening. Does anyone knows when are they coming out on the U.S.? Is it before December 10? If not, where can I buy them that offers better shipping options than Bluetin and Audiocubes? (At least with tracking).
What's wrong with Audio Cubes? My previous experience with them is that they are fast and efficient. I ordered my new ATH-ES7 a couple of days ago and am certain they will arrive at my door by late next week. What's not to like about that?
They're very expensive. IMO, the prices are marked up like crazy. Take for the AD2000 headphones that's selling for $749 in Audio Cubes. I got mine locally for only $470. Also, other online websites are selling cheaper as well.
bahamaman, let me know when your package arrives, please. Did you choose UPS or EMS for shipping? About when are they coming out on the U.S or what other stores sell them at good prices and offer good shipping options, does someone has any information?

It's been perfectly fine multiple times for me. They even marked the items as gifts the times I ordered to avoid custom charges when we receive the package. Good and smart service from Audiocubes. They ship around the world, and you usually hear very positive comments about them.
-Inaccurate tracking is the fault of the parcel service, not Acubes.

i did i got this response
"Sometimes it takes about 2-4 days for our operation manager to get your
item. Your item will be shipped out soon, and it takes about a week for your
item to arrive. Would you please check back later and the information should
show then.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or comments please let us know. "
i guess thier busy cuz christmas is coming? my pervious experience was very good though, this one is something else..
Maybe AudioCubes would deliver the product correctly. But i'll wait until they come out on the states. Actually is better waiting, cause $160 is too much. And i'll get a completely secure shipping and accurate tracking.

AT doesn't ever have any headphones "come out in the states" all headphones (if any) you find here are going to be imported through an independant company rather then AT....
Actually, Audio Technica is offering an Import Series: They are offering a selection of audiophile, DJ and portable headphones previously available only in Japan, for sale on the U.S. So actually there is a series of headphones that ''come out on the states''. I just wanted to know if the ATH-ES7 are going to form part of that import series and when is that going to happen.
They have always brought products over. Usually only some of their lower end stuff. Someone like J&R may bring them over here but they still recoupe the import costs. I only remember one place in CA that would have a few of the AT's for their "true" prices($40-$50) less than Audiocubes. I'll search around and see if I come across the site.
Since they are quite new you will still be in for a wait for them to show up here if they do at all. The "import series" only talks about the ES5 and with an MSRP of $169.99 so figure $119-129 for the ES5's here. The ES5 are $105 at Audiocubes. I guess you will have to shell out the cash either way if you really want them. Unless you get them used form another head-fier.
Update - I ordered my ES7's on November 30. Since then, the order seems to have been stuck in the "processing" stage. And here I was thinking they'd already be winging their way to the U.S. by now
Oh well, so long as I have them in time for my next trip on the 19th it'll still be ok.
