Forget it , it's a kind of chinese copy and has nothing to deal with the original, I bought one and returned it 2 days after. This model PRO-4AA is out fabrication since a long time, try to buy a second hand one with ebay the sound of the original is wonderfull and it's my favourite headphone, it's not so comfortable for the ears but it's nothing regarding the quality of sound.

Yes I believe it is the old model, and no I dont think it matters, same sound colors may not be as bright.

I doubt it, they seem to be Chinese copies of a great American product. As for mine they've been great and have been for a long time and very inexpensive compared to American sold ones being still being made over seas and only being QAed by the American companies. At the price you are getting them for I'd by another pair and still be well under the costs of companies here. This being said I've gotten some that have sucked and these ones to my experience haven't.

I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation. Both opted for the < $20 retailers, and both ended up with fakes.Generally speaking, if you bought them off eBay you can bet that it's a counterfeit, which I've begun calling "Fakeheisers". These are good knockoffs; unless you had a pair of real Sennheisers to compare them with it'd be hard to tell the difference in appearance without disassembly. The sound though, is far, *far* inferior to the real thing. If you want Sennheiser quality, buy from a reputable dealer. If you try to get the lowball deal, you might as well go for any old generic Chinese phones instead. I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation.

FYI - I talked to Customer Service and found that Amazon received a shipment in mid-December. It's hard to say which type that would have been, as I haven't seen anything from Logitech that says exactly when they cut over to BCD 9 units. Amazon ships units from multiple locations, and each of them do not necessarily ship older units first (ie, they are not FIFO), so there's no way to predict which type of unit one would get if an order were placed today. Also, Amazon cannot open boxes to check the BCD for us, apparently due to agreements they have with their suppliers. So unfortunately it seems the only way to improve the probability of receiving a newer unit (from Amazon) is the passage of time - a month or two was suggested, but there are no guarantees. I assume (but have not confirmed) that Logitech's on-line store would be shipping BCD 9's now - if you don't mind paying list price, of course.

Ok, Japanese model comes with noise canceling feature and noise canceling headphones. The US model does not. It's actually a really nice feature to have. There us just a couple of icons that stay in Japanese but everything else goes to English. You will love it go with the Japanese model I was very happy with my purchase. You do need to do the update to the new Android. The stock player with the old android operating system ran very very slow and crashed all the time. But when I updated to the new operating system everything ran much much smoother does not crash anymore.

I do not have both models to compare so I don't the Non-Japan Model. In my case, last year when I bought the first one, there was only one model #DR-BTN200 (Japanese version) on the list. I am very happy with this headset. So, I have bought the second one for my wife recently. Here are features that I am very pleased:- Battery is last very long as spec (40 hours, really)- Sound is pretty good- Bluetooth antenna is strong, no interruption when listening music- Voice commands via Bluetooth work very well for both Samsung "S-Voice" and "Google Now" using Samsung Galaxy S5 I do not have both models to compare so I don't the Non-Japan Model.

It might be on Amazon but not sold by Amazon. Have to look and see if it is fulfilled by Amazon. The one I am currently looking at isn't and making me lrary I will get a Japan model so I might not get it

I don't see the store I bought it from anymore, but go with the Japanese vendors and maybe the American ones. Takara is a Japanese company so it would be more likely for the Japanese vendors to have the genuine ones.

I bought my set about a year ago. Amazon has my order data as they came from them. I did quite a bit of research before I settled on the MDR-V6. Every site that I looked at would in some form or another have the MDR-V6 in their list of recommendations. The price also was a factor as they were less expensive than most of the other headphones recommended. But I was really blown away when I received my Sony MDR-V6's. The operating instructions were dated 1985 and were printed in Thailand. The box they came in also indicates Thailand plus I found Thailand on the headphones themselves. But I'm wondering if they were ever made in Japan. Regardless of where they were made, I really have enjoyed my set. Anyway, this is the information that I can provide. Hope it helps. John Brooks

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

It looks like just different wording spec. for Japan, along with the model number change from LV61 to LV52

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

Hi, I have this model and I am absolutely happy with it. I canot tell the difference with other models, but if you have any specific questions, I would be happy to answer. PS. Made in JAPAN- this is the major difference)))

The pair I own was made in Japan. However, mine are rather old, later the production might have moved to China. You need to check that with the seller.For example, my Panasonic GF1 camera was made in Japan, but later production of Panasonic GF cameras was moved to China.Anyway, I recently got a Sennheiser PMX-200 for better isolation (which is lacking on ATH-EW9 - not the best for subway or plane), and once again ATH-EW9 wins on sound by a VERY large margin.
