What makes it B stock? Are these new or have they already been opened?
They're used. I've bought several bstock. Two from adorama. They all presented as new and do include the manufacturer's warrantee because Adorama is an authorized dealer

Thanks. These are going to be my first IEMs. How come I can't search this from Adorama's site?
It only seems accessible from the provided slickdeals link. How are these for gaming? I'm coming from a penrose via 3.5mm.
These are good for rpg games but not team games. I hear too much game sounds (even when I changed settings to prioritize voice chat). When I play solo games I heard every rustling leaves and cat fart it's amazing (recommend at least a dac with a balanced output though) they sound meh with the 3.5mm cable
How are Audeze compared to the AKG N5005 on sale for $200 right now. I have the AKG and just curious, but highly doubt Audeze is better. One planar driver vs one dynamic and four BA? The AKG comes with balanced and Bluetooth cable also. Anyone heard both?
It was a pretty good deal for $400 because it came with Bluetooth and balanced cables, on top of the regular 3.5mm cables.
I wasn't very impressed with the sound quality though. Very good but not $1,300+ retail price good.
these take a little experimenting with different tips to get the perfect fit to really get the most out of these. they're also not very forgiving of poor or even adequate source material.

I used the included Spinfits, Spiral Dots, Moondrop tips, and multiple sized Azla tips that I have known the fit for awhile.
I also used an ES9038Pro DAC, Monoprice 887, Apple Music Lossless, Tidal MQA, and my own curated Hi Res FLAC files I use to test with.
The tuning, midbass, and subbass is lacking in stock form. It's my preference, but also don't tell me my tips are wrong or my source is off. I know what I'm doing.

obviously - people who truly know what they're doing always get touchy and defensive when faced with suggestions they take as accusations. you sure showed me.

First of all we all trying to help you.
Secondly I am really surprise about your response regarding SQ. Maybe you got a lemon?
I had two pairs of Euclids, one from $600 deal and second from $399 deal.
Both sounds great even in my basic office setup kind of similar to yours minus Apple Music Lossless and Tidal MQA as a source.
They do benefit from burning-in and factory tuning is odd.
But with proper EQ and tips they are on a part with Shure 846 in base region, less bright in mids and highs.
Still comparing Euclids to my Dorado, but it's single planar vs. single dynamic.

The sound quality was not worth the $400, let alone $1,299 even with EQ applied.
The Pentacon cable was very thin. You could buy a better one from AliExpress for $20.
The lack of bass even after EQ on a closed back Planar killed it for me.
My return was practically in new condition though, so technically not a bad deal.
