Cool. Just read something about the kuro paint chipping

 

[daniel_hokkaido]

Can anyone tell from this vid what the engineer is saying is the difference between the SUI and KURO models?

Anyone have impressions on these? Also were can an American get these? What company makes these? Olasonic? What is the American price point?

Sorry for all the questions

Thanks

You can wait until they go up on PriceJapan, that will be the cheapest, outside of using a forwarding service like Tenso, and ordering directly from a Japanese retailer.
Otherwise, MusicaAcoustics is very reliable if somewhat expensive. They have them in stock.
 
I've ordered from Japan, including other earphones/headphones, using all three methods, the Tenso service is very fast but I've only used it with Amazon Japan, and they don't carry the Ocharaku earphones. (Edit, they do carry them, and at a good price as well, but not the Nami)
Got both my Kuro and my Kaede from MusicaAcoustics and was satisfied with both transactions, they had the Kuro on sale when I ordered it, and they had the last Kaedes for sale.

What is ocharaku nami and Kaede and Kuro? I just thought this was a headphone model from olasonics. Any way thanks

Only Nami is made by Olasonic and Ocharaku. The others are Ocharaku's work. Anyway, the first impression of the Nami is so cool! It sounds very clear and light like k3003, but sound stage is little small than k3003. You know the k3003 has very large sound stage, sometimes it's too large.

Bright? Dark? Warm?

How would you describe these?

 

[youkeum]

IMO, It's definitely not dark, It's a little bit bright side. 

 

[daniel_hokkaido]

Etymotic bright?

Give them 100 hours

Give them 100 hours

Ok- 70 hours is left

 

[daniel_hokkaido]

I hear these are OEM for Olosonic .. so the sound tuning isn't determined by ocharaku preferences but by olosonic. Any NAMI vs KURO impressions? 

 

[youkeum]

I played almost 70hours. The bass is growing up. 

 

[PCWar]

Strange! Maybe it differs from the Kaedes. Need to point out that I'm using them with Sony  large foam hybrid tips.

I use comply t200. It's better bass now than before but not change base tendency. very clear and strong high, like k3003 or th600.
