I can say without a doubt in my mind you guys will dig these earphones. Lol. It seems to just have all the nice parts of a good sound and none of the bad included with their sound tuning.. Very impressive earphones.. I will let them burn in overnight but at this point they sound so good I don't know if burn in is needed at all.

Audio Zero DX210 here I think should be able to compete very well with the CKS99. Imo they have out classed the CKS77, X3X, XB90 even. Now they aren't the bassiest but not lacking. It is very tastefully done. They don't quite best the CKS1000 but man they seem to get really close to why I like those so much. The sound is absolutely enjoyable. No harshness anywhere I can detect and they sound like this out of the box. These have a very full and engaging sound similar to the CKS series of phones by AT but has a sound to their own.. I like that it is similar yet unique.
 
I think we have a winner.!

kinda interested in the CT (the 200 model, Tenore). it´s a micro 5.8 driver, instead of the 210´s 8 driver

I'm just waiting for you to say that they got even better with burn in :p What type of sound signature do they have?

At this point I am taking all of Audio Zero's stuff seriously. The Tenore should be a good one as well and they also have a higher end single armature one.. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the other earphones they make are all excellent.

Very Musical!!!!! But with solid detail and imagery. I think the aluminum and carbon housing/ cable here is paying off. It has a vent out back so it is vented..Has great immersion factor.. Gonna let it burn and see if there are any changes. I would be completely happy with them if they didn't change at all to be honest.

 I wouldn't mind going in on a group buy. Organizer gets 7% of  total for hassle of organizing. If ten people do this, this shipping should be still dirt cheap, organizer gets some cash, and we get earphones for less than the $65 or more we would be spending for $45 earphones with Tenso.
 
Pay half to reserve spot, difference after cost of order and Tenso service/fees are factored in. Plus US priority mail once they arrive at US destination.
 
Any takers?

You seems like you've got the math figured out. What do you think total cost for each person would be approximately?

Actually not sure of the Tenso service fees, maybe somebody else can figure that out?
I assume, and maybe I'm wrong, that ten earphones should be able to ship for $50 or less.
 
One would be about $40, right? But the weight doesn't change that much from one to 10, as each earphone package should be light.  If I get a chance tomorrow I'll see if I can figure it out using the shipping wight that Amazon Japan gives, unless someone else wants to give it a go.

^ go try it out and tell us how much it's gonna be so we will have a rough idea of the total cost. I think we can get 10 buyers, i hope. Thanks in advance meng!!!

My calculations are probably off, I did buy two earphones and one headphone some time ago and it cost me $50 to ship with tenso fees and EMS mailing costs.

I am gonna guess around $55 per person.. It comes out to $45 bought on Amazon Japan and $20 for single shipping.. For 10 it wont be more than $40. The rest can be spent on shipping to the buyers. Shaves off around $10 bucks for everyone.. Not bad.

But for one guy to ship 10 phones to others is kinda not too much fun so it might not be a good idea. But even if 2 or 3 of you guys got together one shipping it might be worth it. So maybe smaller group buys.
