Damn ....those "anythingbutipod guys" really hate hifiman products ....i mean 0%positive comments ....0
 
another thing ...i ordered through the head-direct site on 28th .....how do i know if my HM-602 is the so called upgraded one and not the one in the 60 shipped ones (the customs normally hold the packages for around 15 days before releasing them here ....so i cant judge by the time of arival)
it is said there is no message from head-direct when its been shipped ( read it on last page of this thread)...thats why i asked

it seems they have shipped 60 units of HM-602 and then they decided to do the upgrade (the first 60 could send it back for a free upgrade) ..(if google translate is right) .... that alone means a lot to me (depending on the point of view), they are constantly seeking better audio HQ...

So If I get it in the next couple of days I should immediately send it back for the upgrade?

maybe you will like the way it sounds, maybe you are not one of the 60.. or maybe you could like it better with the upgrade?.. ..who knows, look at it this way the first 60 have an option to upgrade or not

heh nice way to look at it but I'm just worried because of the expensive shipment costs and tax duties that usually tear my wallet apart

be positive, I am sure that shipping and taxes cost much more in my country than in yours...

 

[singh]

and yeah tax, shipping cost, delay, problems with postal services is the most in my country.....damn my sflo that i ordered late july is still not here!!

How much are the re--262 alone. xD
I'm thinking on getting the player just because 80% of the money would go towards a pair of re-262 alone anyways...

If you preorder HM-602 before Sept 1st, 2010, you will be able to get a new RE262 (top of the line) In-ear earphones for free.

Geez, half this thread is about the 262.  Really sad that it's not enough for the manufacturer to post it on the first page in clear red bold type.

 

[singh]

^^ also thanks to that ....the initial sales will be enormous.
 
More initial sales  = more impressions and reviews and if HM-262 is good ( ....it will be ...HifiMAN delivers ) ....there will be even more sales
an in all this there will be happy few...(including myself) ....who get it at a bargain price

You have a point. I just sent the HM801 board in for a "free" upgrade and that was $30.00 plus shipping. Can't really admit to understanding the money aspect of it but did it anyway.

Ugh...I really wish I had the extra funds to buy this. Good news is that the car repairs were 300 less than I expected. Missed the preorder deal, but I'll have this soon. All in good time.
