There are plenty of places that can make and ship customs for less than 1k euro. A lot of them have threads dedicated to them in this forum. I've recently taken the plunge and ordered an entry-level pair for less than $300 US, and only spent about $50 US total to get my impressions made and...

  Looks like about $50 for me.

  I was given an address in Thailand to ship back to, but I don't think I'll be doing that as shipping in and out of Canada is ridiculously expensive.   BTW, has anyone had the chance to compare the be3s to the Sony E818s?

Got my BE3s a few days ago. One troubling thing I noticed: bass on the right earpiece is stronger than on the left. It's the same when I swap sides. Is this a defect, or are the earpieces really sensitive to the left and right channels?

Just fyi Woo says the BE7 will be back in stock in a few days, while there is no eta for the BE5.

If the item is popular in the Western world, and it's available on aliexpress, then it's most likely fake.   Aliexpress specifically caters to foreigners, and their sellers appeal to people's greed and gullibility by posting lower prices than of that in legitimate retailers, then sending them...

Well it's been almost a year and the left earpiece has completely cut out.   I'm thinking of getting these reshelled, but I'm not sure which one to go for. I live near Toronto, Canada, if that's any help.

There probably isn't any one here who actually has your earphones as reference, so they won't know how it actually compares to whatever's popular around these parts. If you're willing to sift through a large list of earphones and read through a ton of reviews, start from ljokerl's portable IEM...

  I'm not even sure anymore... but PM me when you've gotten them reshelled and tell me what they're like. I'll have to put this on hold for a while.   Update: So apparently my left earpiece has another issue. Music only starts coming out when I turn the volume up to almost max, and sometimes...

Well I've received a reply from hifiman, and the prospects aren't encouraging.     So I guess that's the end of it? Anyone got more ideas?

Hi Hifiman,   I have a problem which I've posted in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/686461/broken-re252s   Can you help? Thanks!

      I went on BTG Audio's site, but found this:   Headphones Not serviable: ALL Etymotic, ALL Klipsch (save S4 and Custom 3), ALL Jays, ALL Ortophone, ALL Hifiman In ear headphones (not to be confused with their Planar magnetics., UE TF10, HD380. Bose, Beats' Note: I can perform a...

I bought these off a friend for a good price and paid him in cash. He's already had these reshelled once by sending them back to hifiman, as the earpieces are not the typical hard black ones, but rather soft gray translucent silicone with the hifiman logo. Does anyone know how much it would cost...

So I bought a pair of RE252s off someone a few weeks ago, and everything up until now was fine.   The problem started when my left earpiece started to drop in volume. When I took it out, the music disappeared altogether. Within a few minutes, the music also disappeared from the right earpiece...
