I'm going to be leaving for Japan in a week (8 month teaching contract) and am wondering what other Head-fi members experienced with Japanese gear. Stereotypically, Japan is always associated with the latest gadgets packed full of features and advancements not yet available in North America...

Wondering if I could get some help on this. I've seen the ER6i's advertised as "Apple Only" for cheaper than other ER6i's. As far as I can tell, they're the exact same product. Is it only packaging that's different between the two models or somthing else? They'd be the same 3.5mm jack, no...
