Is that for the DX200s? I'd like the DX210s 

Yeah it's for the Carbo Tenore, not the Basso.

I guess I could ask him about the DX210 as well.

Reason I'm more interested in the microdriver DX200 though as it will be much more lively and thus more suited for listening my Trance mixes.

I will be astonished if it turns out to be an upgrade to my Yamaha EPH100.

Seems like a good price, although I wonder about the Customs tax. Maybe its possible for them to mark the item down as gift.

My CKN70's do not have the holes either but the pair of CKN50's have two small holes.  

Thanks Danny for the feedback. Appreciate it.

Hi geko95gek, I'm also looking out for the Carbo Basso. Will be looking out for your update and thanks for taking the time and initiative for the benefit of the community.

I should've worded that differently; I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be with stock pads or WS55 pads with my ears being too big

 
They were mostly decent for me once I switched to the Sennheiser pleathers. I could wear them without any discomfort for 2-3 hours.

Remember though, I was stung using Tenso. Ended up paying £24 worth of custom fees.

There is a little "edit" button above the item price when you pay for your shipping.

Good find! They are on ebay.ca as well (about $73 CDN shipped):

The only problem is that the shipment could take a painfully long time (ie 3 weeks).
 
They are on amazon.jp for approx $45. It would probably be about $20 to ship them via tenso, for a total of $65. The big difference is that they would get here withing 8 days for sure.

 

[Mackem]

Yeah the eBay prices put me off since they're quite high, but I then run the risk of customs fees from Tenso and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Right - you guys get nailed in the UK don't you. I've ordered two items from amazon.jp/tenso which were both in the $160-$180 CDN range, and never got nailed with customs fees to Canada. I think that going over $200 in though might result in extra fees.

Thanks for the kind words mate, I'm just trying to do my best for my audiophile friends here. 

 
If any of you guys like TRANCE music, you can check out my mixes as a thank you.

Bit more expensive than what my Japanese eBay seller friend said though.
 
I might end up going for it at this rate, at least there wont be any trouble with customs lol
 
Also, Carbo Tenore seem to be slightly more expensive from buyfromjapan seller than Carbo Basso... I wonder why?

 

[ericp10]

I don't know if anyone posted this yet, but I read on some post that the Carbo Tenore has more of a treble boost and the Carbo Basso has more of a bass boost, which are the main differences between the 200 and 210. FYI

that's a great seller. not cheapest prices, but offers full warranty

 

[waynes world]

So dsnuts and danny, I'm looking forward to your impressions of the Basso's now that more burn in has been achieved!
 
Who else has ordered these puppies? My ears get quite hot in the summer, so I'm liking the idea of using my CKS1000 and these Carbo Basso iems more than my headphones during the summer. As far as headphones go, my ksc75's (on headband) are quite light on the ears, and I don't care if I get sweat on them, and they sound great, so they do a good job. But, I think that I'll also get the Koss Sportapro's (same driver as portapro's) for $30 and do these mods on them which I found in this headfi post - will sound awesome I am sure! And again, I won't care about abusing them in the heat.
