Hey |joker|!   Thanks for putting this thread together :D   I recently lost my Audio Technica CKS-1000's in a snowstorm and wanted a <$100 option to replace them and went with the Sony XBA-C10's and XBA-1's to try.   I was wondering if you could recommend me something like the XBA-C10's. I...

Quote:   Oh man. Have to apologize for the extremely late reply since I haven't logged in in a while.   I've definitely been enjoying them. A few thoughts from a non-audiophile:   The build quality on these are impressive. The machined edges are a nice touch. The cable is nice and...

Thanks jr. Going to pick up a pair if the stocks don't work out.

Shipped from Tenso yesterday, so I should have these in my hands by early next week.   For those that own them already, would you have any recommendations for which tips to go with? I'm looking for great isolation while commuting via public transportation, and have been reading reviews of...

Exci, the cheapest price I found ended up being Amazon JP. The others didn't allow for foreign CC's.   Prices seem to be dropping everyday on them though.   For some reason, the browser makes a difference on the price that shows up. 13913yen on Safari, and 12771yen on chrome. 

Amazon Jp keeps sending me emails about my cc not going through. It must be because I've never made direct purchases in Japan and the security is kicking in. Hope to get it cleared up first thing tomorrow morning. Can't wait to receive them!

Thanks Ds!    Just bought a pair from amazon jp. Praise Tenso 

Hoping to get some recommendations.   The housing of my FXT90's popped off in a snowstorm and disappeared.    I've been reading these forums for the past few days looking for a new pair.   ======   Preferences:    no over-ear cables as I wear glasses and find them quite...

Thanks for the detailed reviews! Thinking about pulling the trigger on these.   The housing of my FXT90's popped off in a snowstorm and disappeared.    I've been reading these forums for the past few days looking for a new pair.   ======   Preferences:    no over-ear cables...

It depends. So far I haven't received any duties or additional charges on any shipping services from Japan, be it Airmail or EMS. I'm in Canada though, so the US might be different.

I just purchased a pair for 117. It came with free shipping as well (option to add EMS) Here

Thanks! Just read 20 pages of the FXT90 thread and they seem to be the right ones for me.   Just two more quick questions:   - How would you compare the soundstage of the FXT90 to my previous TS02   - How does the bass compare as well? I found that I actually preferred to EQ down the...

First off, just want to thank Joker for keeping such an up to date, and thorough guide for all of us.   I've been lurking around for a long time, and settled on the TS02's for my first "serious" pair of earbuds. They've broken, and I'm looking to replace them so I don't have to use the stock...

Deleted. Found proper thread to post in.
