I bought my VBs from UncleWilson, although I've had some issues with the buds themselves

Jaben is great.  Perfectly fine.  If you ave issues w/ paypal its probably your CC fraud alert protecting you.

Never bought online but the service from the storefront itself is top notch.

Nope, horrible service....
 
I brought a pair of Hippo VB's about a month ago, they shipped to me in about a week which was good.
 
The headphones lasted about 1 week until the right earphone blew....
 
Tried to contact jaben numerous times about a refund  and never heard from them at all.
 
So all in all a waste of $89 What a waste......

Jaben is a good small online store. I personally could not find any such product of my choice there but my father ordered a music player few weeks earlier and all went great

well.. since jaben here allow me to spend half day testing between ck10, ortofon eq7, um3x, w3, se535, loads of other amps.. etc..
i also have no problem getting replacement for my woody2 (broke twice) and hippo vb (faulty bass port screw). immediate exchange.
so i support them.

I received excellent service from Jaben/Uncle Wilson's. Hippo VB's arrived from Korea in about one week to Seattle. I decided after a week of listening (and plenty of burn-in time) that the SQ wasn't right for me, and they were quite willing to accept them as return, which went to Uncle Wilson's in US, so no shipping hassle at all.
 
I  would highly recommend them as a reputable IEM source, and would happily order from them again with no worries.

the ath w1000 bundle (amp, cable, case, stand etc) for $529 is tempting

its ok and trustworthy, because they are very famous in singapore, and already have branches in a few countries including (surabaya)Indonesia, China, and other.
 
CMIIW, the owner love to collect rare headphones such as Sony R10, Sony Qualia 10, stax Omega, Senn Orpheus, Baby Orpheus HE60, L3000, K1000, etc
 
from what i know, Jaben is the only distributor of Hippo Brand
