Look at the HIFIMAN 601 Slim for 1099 Yuan = $176.84USD? How can that be?

1099 yuan is the official price in China

So if you have friends there, they can buy it at that price and ship it here to the US?

 

[pekingduck]

Yeah but shipping is probably around USD 15-20...

But isnt' that still cheaper than getting it over here?

Tip: Use tenso.

 

[pekingduck]

Yeah but likely just a few dollars cheaper, not worth saving IMO 

 
4G is 1099 yuan = USD $176 (price in the U.S. = $199) 
8G is 1599 yuan = USD $257 (price in the U.S. = $249)

And shipping takes a while.

Oh, I can't wait for the X3, already designed a bedside rig for it! xD

 

[pekingduck]

I thought Tenso only shipped from Japan?
 
Edit: Better not hijack the thread

Didn't realize it was from China... :rolleyes:

Tip: Get X3 instead.

Seem like it's a legit reseller. I have paid RMB 200 deposit to another reseller (they have free gifts for pre-order 

) to reserve a unit. We'll see...

So how is it available for sale when FiiO said it's not available yet? This most likely is a counterfeit then,..

Guys, are we going to keep two concurrent threads? I already had the main one here that was opened as soon as the original thread got closed. We need to consolidate the nformation into one thread.

Hi guys I am new here. I am not sure if there is already a date posted here for the Fiio x3 release but they luckily replied to my inquiry.
 
This is my inquiry: When will the x3 be released? Will be also good for sensitive IEMs? Thanks
 
FIIO's reply: June or July outside China and you can set the gain to low to pair with sensitive IEMs
 
Hope this one helps especially for those who are waiting for this!
