Yep, I hope UPS doesn't ding me too much with their insane brokerage fees...
I'm probably one of the first 20, but not the first :p I had to order on an iPhone...

I hope you are right about this cause I ordered around an hour after you did and you are probably the first person to order in the second batch(one minute after they opened up pre-order lol).
Are you a fellow vancouverite? I live there lol

They landed in London this friday and will be leaving for the lab in China in the coming week. I'm looking at a 3-5 week total wait. Maybe more, maybe less. I've got the AKG K271 Mk II incoming (have had them before) and I just stumbled over some incredibly good cheap universals: The Sony MDR-EX310LPB. Even coming from the Merlins and Westone 3, these things are good. Not just "good for the price", but flat out good If they broke tomorrow I'd buy them again in a heartbeat, even if they cost twice as much. They come with a nice little semi-hard carrying case that has room for a Clip+ as well as the iems. Bass is deep as expected from the big dynamic driver, but also (at this price point) surprisingly tight. The rest of the spectrum is very nicely represented as well. Definitely keepers.They're not knocking my Merlins off their throne off course, but as a secondary set they're a no-brainer for sure. Heck, I might pick up a spare set just to keep as backup.



I have those, the Sony MDR-EX310. Yes very good and a nice all round, balanced performance with good bass just as you have described. Even though it lacks resolution and detail, overall it is an absolute bargain at the price point. My daughter uses them now for her school bus journey. You should also try the JVC HAFXC51, at the same price point, I liked them too but they were lost by my daughter along with her wallet after a week............

[size=medium]I pretty much fell for it myself, I was really pissed and tried to think of something to cheer myself up. So I wondered what pudu would do if he was in my place, share it so that everyone else would fall for it too. Puuuuuuurfectly evil and brilliant I know.  Oh and you don’t have to thank me.

[size=medium]I always knew you were the mom type. I had my doubts at first with you being a guy and all. But I knew it all along. Hope you had a wonderful and fantastic mother’s day pudu lol.

[size=medium]p.s. my fiancé could care less when his dx100 will ship. And I’m kind of frustrated with ibasso and their lack of communication regarding my device and my fiancé device. I decided to take it out here lol.[/size]

Drat and blast, I've been found out. :mad:

What gave it away? My inability to contemplate that I may be incorrect about anything, my excellent taste in shoes, or my general overriding yet strangely charismatic evilness?



edit:


LOL, I just saw this one. :D

Nice.

Incidentally there is a sale on some countries that no one seems to be putting to good use. I think I'm going to pick up Bhutan for a hiking trip this summer. Don't know how long these prices will last, so my advice is buy asap.
