New to the forum here but following some threads for a while now, this thread has my special attention because I've been using a Sony MDR e741 for a while now and more and more, after trying several cheaper in ear models, I love the sound these buds are producing! Very airy, open and...

Ok, thanks.

@Negakinu   Can you tell me what the extra costs are for shipping and taxes (douane) to Holland?   Cheers
