That some are shipping from Malaysia has not to do with the country of origin but the fact that we need to use a shipping proxy going out of China...

Nice, hope all those who got the shipping numbers get their units soon.

Been using mine at work for the last couple of day's. Nice unit, feels solid. Only problem for me is the fact that the power button and volume buttons are the exact opposite of where they were on the sony I've been using for the last few months whilst waiting for the hiby. So I go to turn the power of and the volume turns up instead!

Quite like the hiby app except that it doesn't display the track length, or album length.

One quick question whilst I'm here. Is there an app that looks and behaves pretty much like the apple music one? I'm aware of the apple app, but that's just for streaming and doesn't actually let you play music from onboard storage.

Have you tried tapping on the preview of the playing track at the bottom? That takes you to the now playing screen proper with a large album art display, transport buttons / circular slider and track progress / length time displays inside the circular slider.

I tried it didn't work - "order not found".
My tracking number starts with 510900

Please pm me the shipping message you received for me to help you sort out the tracking issue.

In other news: I've been informed that all Indiegogo R6 orders have been shipped out as of last night. Tracking numbers are delayed because of us having to use a shipping proxy going out of China so Check expect your mailboxes to fill up with the tracking info sometime next week :L3000:

Don't thank me, I just happened to come back from Japan yesterday and come across this piece of great news coming from our factory / office today!

.

Oh I can get that, I'm just used to seeing a track length next to the song title (on the sony player I was using I hasten to add). I tend to listen to music at work, and have set periods. So I like to try to fit albums to how long I have between breaks.

Speaking of which I've been using my R6 at work with my Empire Ears Cerberus Ciems, which is a nice combo, if a little dark.

I think it’s made in Malaysia and ships from there, too. Since you’re not buying a product, but are supporting a campaign, you have earned a free reward of a Hiby R6. I believe it is this function that is utilized for customs declarations, if I am not mistaken.

Edit: My take is that what Hiby is doing is deliberately avoiding any possible claim of fraud by ensuring it is labelled accurately for the situation.
I'm sure you're right about this. I had heard that some Chinese companies were using agencies to help avoid the tariff problem.

Good news, my R6 was delivered to my office today! And on my birthday!

Bad news, I'm out of the office because it's my birthday and won't see it until Monday

I never realized I was ordering my birthday present in the beginning of February, but who cares, it's finally here!

I do the same by rearranging the tracks in my Playlists (tap/hold/drag up or down) by their time/length using UAPP.

Have you tried the HiBy player's Mage Sound 8-Ball to tweak the sound more to your liking?

Oh, Crikey, the irony. Happy Birthday! At least you'll have something to look forward to when you have to go back to work on Monday. :wink: ...extended Birthday! :)

I do about 95% of my listening in at work or during my commute, with 2 very small children, I don't get much time at home for it. Can't wait for Monday.... That's a weird thing to say.

I am the same way. I got 4 here that keep me busy when I am home. I enjoy my listening sessions at work or weekends when I "clean the garage". Lol.
