They have a prepaid fedex shipping label!Do you have to ship it back to Hong Kong? If so what did it cost?
yeah it has to go back to hong kong. When I do ship it, I won't see it for at least 1.5 - 2 weeks at best.

Here's a comparison with the UE900(S): http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/10/brainwavz-b400-review-english.html#more
could you tell me where the UE900s are on sale? i’ve seen the sale referenced a couple places but none of the usual online vendors i’ve checked display that price.Thank you for the link - seems like I may get the UE900s which are on sale for 160 - the Primo8s are also on sale for 150... tough decision but the UEs will compliment my b400s and q-jays well I think.
I ordered the stay frosty version of the b400 today. Is there a rough time frame as to when they begin to ship out? I wish I would've noticed that there was stock before I preordered, ugh. I would've gladly paid 30 more dollars to get them sent immediately.
I recommend this too. I have to send mine back for fixing. I wont get it back 2 weeks due to shipping and them taking 1 week to fix it up.I've actually changed my mind on canceling the preorder and then ordering the in stock 2nd batch. I've been reading of to many people having shell issues etc, so I'm hoping that waiting for my ordered 3rd batch will yield better results. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Mine was from batch 2.
Thank you for your response razzer001. I'm not so much worried about a gap that doesn't affect the sound quality, but rather the user or 2 that mentioned a bump that caused them ear soreness. I very much believe this is a rare issue and not the norm for the B400's. I am VERY, VERY excited to receive them and give them a listen. I hope the 2nd batch will sell quickly for you all and mine from the 3rd batch reaches my mailbox soon! Thank you for releasing such good sounding and durable products. Best wishes!Fristly we are sorry for themicro gaps, but saying that the back gap is not really a qc issue, this is due to the 3d printing and it is something noted early on and also reviewers pointed this out in nearly every review of the frosty. It is a cosmetic blemish due to how the unit but does not affect the quality as the actual internal unit is sealed and the gaps are superficial.
We always were looking for a way to reduce these micro gaps and even with batch 2 we were able to reduce this on later produced ones, so I suspect even many of batch 2 won't see these gaps anylonger. With batch 3 this won't be a issue.
I certainly don't want people who purchased the B400 early on to feel like they were guinea pigs, so we will offer in mid Jan for any of those from batch 1 and 2 to send back their units to be rehoused. I do stress again this would only be to improve the cosmetic appearance, the performance and durability would be the same.
Our customer service team will be in touch with batch 1 and 2 bbuyers in Jan about this issue. This can't e done any sooner due to the busy Xmas season.
Apart from these noted superficial micro gaps, I am quite happy to say any other actual qc issues have been far and few.
I do expect our change in how we finish these products will stop the extraction from the overall true value of our B400.
I definitely will wait for janurary to have them fixed.

Anyone else had an issue with the lacquer rubbing off on the colored versions?
I've had my green rage version for a little over a month and it has received little to no use (been using it mostly for comparison purposes and use my other IEMs for my daily drivers). The other day, I used it for the very first time as my daily and half way through the day I noticed it was really sticky. Upon inspection, I noticed the discoloration right on the shell crease. Even with gentle handling with my fingernail or finger, I'm able to remove more and more of it. I could imagine with multiple days or weeks of use, a good portion of it would wear off the shell and could be quite messy to deal with.
The b200 earphones took me by surprise. I got a good deal on them and thought, what the heck, why not try them. I barely can tell they are a dual balance armature design because the sound is so smooth and warm. Most b.a based earphones I've heard have a somewhat cold, and analytical sound, but not the b200's. They have good details all throughout the frequency ranges, but are extremely smooth and non fatiguing. Well done brainwavz. I also ordered the b400 quad driver earphones and am extremely excited to hear how the b200 could possibly be topped. Do your ears a favor and put some b200's in them.
