makes an ass out of u and me.

Sorry, double post.

Cheers, found them on qables about 2 minutes after that post. Would like to see a few reviews before thinking about ordering.

What about EU?

no chance of these anywhere else then?

This is a very tough decision. To risk ordering from outside the EU for massive savings, but be left open to Duty/VAT, or to pay much more from a UK retailer.

Its illegal to under state the value or falsely mark it as a gift anyway, although several retailers do. Thanks for the EU suggestions, although Meier Audio have stopped selling headphones now.

After a little research it seems import duty could be around 3-9% depending on the type of goods, and we then get 17.5% VAT slapped on top as normal. This could pretty much kill any money saved from buying abroad.

Indeed they do, but as I mentioned, I would prefer to order from the UK to avoid Import Duty and VAT

All the head-fi sponsors are abroad, leaving us potentially open to some hefty import duty. If there were any good sites that were in the UK this would be preferred. However if any of you in the UK have indeed ordered from any of the overseas sites, I would be interested in your experiences...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but has anyone got any other suggestions for websites to order from that post to the uk?

Not had a lot to compare them to, but I have been nothing but ecstatic with my UM1's.

How do the AKG hold up in a studio/non-DJ environment?

I Still cant find the V6 for a price close to £50. Anyone have any views on the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro for this kind of application?
