Don't get that option up here unfortunately.

Mine will be here tomorrow.

That price is most definitely a mistake!!!

Oh I did not realize that the same day delivery thing was regional. My MP80 shipped around 2.30 PM and reached the delivery station in Maidstone around 4:30 PM. I expect an out for delivery notice soon.

Looking forward to your early impressions

..well ... you know my impressions are usually positive... once I have the right tips (which are often the stock ones). Although I never did get on with that HIFi Walker A7...sent it back. I think I am the only one who did not like it.

+1. I'm now torn between the **** going for around $29 CAD on AliExpress, vs the Monoprice MP80, which, from Amazon UK, goes for $52 CAD. It'd be cool if the filters really do alter the sound sig at least somewhat noticeably in ways that widen the MP80's genre compatibility.

Filters that I have had with others do make a difference...sometimes a huge difference. So, Amazon UK will send the MP80 to you... I did not know that. Seems like they are adding a bit to the cost. £20 should be $35 Canadian.

Woah... just looked at amazon canada... they want $136 canadian... eek.

I liked the A7 so much I bought 2. Couldn't resist when they dropped to £9.

Yeah, that is when my husband bought one. I think it was shortly after I had sent mine back.. but I had paid £29!

Yep... shipping rates and all that, and I heard Canada Post charges duties when picking up from the post office for orders over $25. Still, ordering from a non-Canadian website is a far cry from the horrendous price they want from Amazon.ca... which is how it usually goes when it comes to Chi-Fi that can be found there :frowning2:

This is probably the best deal you will see then.

I have ordered a week ago and it is still not shipped. Contacted the seller (NiceHCK) and it won't be in stock for another 8-10 days.

Thinking of cancelling because i don't really need it but i've ordered for a nice price because of a general Aliexpress coupon and i am kind of curious about the piezoelectric sound.
I think you'll like the piezoelectric sound. I have the Artiste DC1, Elecom CB1000 and ****. Piezo treble is airy, clean and crystalline with no harshness or peaks. Soundstage is three-dimensional and holographic. Incisive transient response with excellent detail. **** is the best of the three.

N3 and **** arrived today - two very different signatures both with a dynamic and a piezo

Not to mention the mmcx cable too.

I've just got them out for the first time in a while and had forgotten how fab they sound!

Especially with foams.

I can't use foams so maybe that was the problem for me.

I borrowed my husbands N3 for a couple of days... loved it.
