Hello, guys how much cost HE-500 + Shipping + Customs paying to Ship to Europe to Lithuania ? I want to buy from this website. http://head-direct.com/

Customs depend on the country you live in, for me in norway it is 25% extra the product in tax and an extra handling fee on 50$. The price on the delivery is usually said on the site once you have registered and try to buy it and choose what delivery method before you accept the purchase.

Headphones 699$ + Shipping 25$ = 724$ and Custom pay? what buy this headphones from http://head-direct.com/ to europe, tell me full price with all taxes.

 

[boushh]

for germany +19% VAT and + 2% foreign custom (custom depends on the type of product, imho it is 2% for head phones), so would be nearly 880 $  (673€)
 
for 700€, you could get them from amazon (first find in google
 
 
Correction: custom would only be 2% not 4%, (TARIC 8518 30 95 90) ...  but even with this, not a good deal

OMG, my max budget for Headphones+amp+ dac 1000$ HE-500 O2+Odac ... So sad

Get the headphones you really want first and then go on the journey for the perfect amp for it. Aslong you have something that can drive them well enough from before.

Hm, there's a chance Head-Direct will mark down the cost of the package so that you won't have to pay for as much tax. Try contacting their customer service and ask about this before/right after you order. Also, HE500s will likely be shipped to you from directly from their Hong Kong factory, not from USA.

Have a look at this: http://www.audiophonics.fr/hifiman-he500-casque-audiophile-orthodynamique-89db-p-6542.html

Delivery time seems a bit long though.
