Important: Batch 1st preorder shipping time:  We will start to ship 1st batch HM602 as soon as we have RE262 ready. Hopefully, Sept 20th. We will try to finish 1st batch HM602 shipping before Oct. All HM-602 are final version with improved op-amps and other components.
 
Please understand that the RE262 IEM use single crystal copper wire, which we are still waiting our cable vendor to finish. Because international shipping is very exprensive, we will have to wait.
 
All RE262 earphones have all accessories, but no packing box.

Yay thanks for the post Fang!

So I wonder if mine would be sent with the first batch or with the second because I placed my order on the 18th?

Hello, I have news for you all. I couldn't bear the silence of the thread when I was eagerly waiting for it, and I decided to do some research based on my beyond-repair Chinese and the help of my friend who is fluent. So, I went into erji.net, and this is what I found.
 
Maybe this should be posted by Nankai himself, but as I can imagine others waiting for some info, I just decided to post what was posted there. Please note that this post is from the Chinese forums, this may not apply to those who live outside of China.

[size=9pt] Key point: those who ordered before August 18 will have theirs sent by September 8th, and those who ordered after August 18 will have theirs sent by the end of September.[/size]
[size=9pt] The RE262's cable material(单晶铜线材) is planned to arrive at their factory by September 10th, and it will be sent to customers at about September 20-25.[/size]

Thanks for the update, Fang! 
 
I feel a bit bummed out about shipping starting on (hopefully) the 20th.  I was crossing my fingers for the 8th!

This means any new orders will be for the second batch and the price is now $440 USD but this includes a free pair of RE262 and free international express shipping.
So for those feeling bummed about missing the free RE262s... feel bummed no longer!

What?  Free shipping?  It was $30 for me

My midterm starts at October 1st and if they ship it like 25th than I'll have it by the start of my midterm test. How awful.
 
I'll have my fingers crossed for the 20th.

Yeah same here, at least we got the pre-order price! More info can be found on the Head-Direct website.  http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=90

So we get one for 399 and the 2nd batch gets one for 439.
 
Well, at least we get it faster than the 2nd batch.

I've worked it out and we actually aren't benefiting significantly from preordering.
 
We paid $369 + $30 for shipping.  That's $400.  Everyone else is now going to pay $440 but shipping is free AND they get the RE262s.  $40 for 40 day wait... I don't know, it will be worth more to some people than others.
 
I'm not trying to complain but I don't see why we couldn't have been offered the free shipping as well.

Same thoughts here. My wait is longer since I sold all of my cans and my player(currently using a half-broken 2nd nano) to order. I was initially hoping that this will be shipped today(until yesterday) but I have to wait at least another 12 days and that just coincides with my midterm.
 
Urgh.

I had a 50.00 paypal credit from points I had accumulated. So I got mine for 319.00 -200 for the free 262's =119.00+ 30.00 shipping. Wow 150.00 for the player. Kool!!

Umm the second batch is pre-order as well... so yeah.
 
I suspect the deal in the future for the HM-602 will be different again to the current (and past) pre-order deal.
