Another, the PK1 is not a damn thing, rather a damn good thing. |

In other words, they feel ripped off because Bose's profit margin is very large. Another way put, Bose is a greedy person of a company with gimmicks of scamming you out of your money. |

Originally Posted by Evisu need to clarify something here. just wanted to provide alternative places for the YUINs as i see they are cheaper by a big margin. www.headphonehk.com. warranty issues, their website says "YUIN is a DIY homemade brand, thus warranties maybe at risk" their prices are PK1 (101.5us), PK2 (33.4us), and PK3 (20.6us). http://headphonehk.com/other.htm Warranty/Trustworthy? im not sure as a member here says they arent authorized YUIN dealer. i havent have any problem product with them yet(i bought hd595 with them). headphonehk.com is the sole distributor for Westone products in HongKong. i tried the yuin earbuds @ a shop called Mingo headphone club. their yuin do provide warranty as i have said it in my review thread. 6months 1 for 1 exchange/ 1year parts and labor for pk2/3, and 2 years parts and labor for pk1. List price for PK1 2 3 @ Mingo are PK1 (114.4us), PK2 (37.3us), PK3 (24.2us) http://www.mingo-hmw.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26886 i recommend PK3s. as it is the earbud performs best out of the 3 w/o an amp. better clarity vs pk2's bassy but a bit veiled. with an amp PK1 shines, it sound like headphone. with soundstage clarity strong mids and highs like e4c and pk2's bass. also recommend to pay the extra for warranty if the cord stiffening issue (not cord broken) is covered. As for "Made in Japan" "Japan Only" earbuds. 1 year ago "all" Audio Technica earbuds were still "Made in Japan". but this year the low and mid range earbuds are produced in China. Only the high-end ones (cm700ti) remains "Made in Japan". in my opinion, whether its made in china or not doesnt really matter. as long as the company has good Quality Control. |
