I wish mine were on that same pallet triportsad.gif

 

I guess I have to order them first though, huh?

Mine just jumped up to about $75 or so. Mailing charges were a lot higher than the original quote. Have to pay the extra before they ship, obviously.

I'd actually like to bump the post to make others aware of these open designed headphones being made by Somic.

After it all.. it is Christmas ;)

Looking forward to all your impressions.

Hopefully none of them are due to new toy syndrome.

Has anyone gotten other hands on the Sonic Efi82MT? The 50mm drivers, 64 Ohm impedance, and three meter extra cable indicate that this is NOT designed for portable use, despite looking "hip". I'm thinking of ordering some out of curiosity, but if anyone has had the opportunity to demo them, their feedback would be appreciated.

$37 shipped to the US is tempting, but I promised myself the Somics I have on order will be the last inexpensive headphones I buy until I've got the HD600 and HE-400 and get a decent desktop DAC/amp. Near as I can tell the EFi82MT is a noise canceling model, so it's closed. I'm interested and really want to compare it to the Uptowns that I have (also closed), but I want the Senny and Hifiman more.

I'll be watching for your impressions. I have the jvc S500's and love them, and just got the Uptowns on a whim try out (found them for $50). I actually expected to think that I would quickly return them, but I have been enjoying their different sound signature. Anyway, what I am really  interested in is an open 50mm can like the Somics. So, I can't wait until you get yours and you post your impressions!

Got my MH463 in today, surprisingly fast considering they were shipped a week after something I bought from Singapore. They're actually built better than HPT990 imo; the silver lining the outside of the cups feels like aluminum, pads are very similar to SRH840 pads, very soft and comfy. Gonna hold off on commenting on the sound too much until I have some time with them but they're pretty enjoyable so far happy_face1.gif

Ooh finally someone gets them.  Looking forward to your impressions with trepidition, like a student waiting to receive his grades, coz these are the most expensive "budget" phones I've ever stuck out my neck recommending and I can understand if people would be more picky about them! blink.gif
