So, the express mail is worthless? Kinda need to know if they get to EU fast or not, and if they are using dhl... Already mailed penon but no response so far

I also live in Europe, in Spain. I have ordered an EST50 iem and it comes via HK post. It is very very slow. It has not reached me yet and the tracking number is not updated.
DHL is faster; But it has the problem that Customs always stops it and they make you pay taxes, since they are themselves, DHL, who controls customs.

Nah... all others tribrid EST are similiar price range

Oh, I see. Hows your first impressions? Do you have any other tribids to compare?

This is not always the case, at least in Spain. Before, customs practically did not review shipments that arrived with slow shipping; but now yes. Now they pretty much check everything and stop everything, and make you pay for almost everything. Lately I have received little things from aliexpress, such as cables and others, and if the value is higher than € 22, in half the cases they have made me pay customs fees.
In addition, with the new law that has come into force since July 1, when buying on websites outside of Europe, you already have to pay VAT when making the purchase.

No siempre es así, al menos en España. Antes, aduanas practicamente no revisaba los envíos que llegaban con envío lento; pero ahora sí. Ahora practicamente lo revisan todo y lo paran todo, y te hacen pagar por casi todo. Ultimamente me han llegado pequeñas cosas de aliexpress, como cables y demás, y si el valor es superior a 22€, en la mitad de casos me han hecho pagar las tasas de aduanas.
Además, con la nueva ley que ha entrado en vigor desde el día 1 de julio, al comprar en webs de fuera de Europa, ya tienes que pagar el iva al realizar la compra. (para el Español)

Yeah, that's why I'm gonna start using DHL. I'll be paying taxes anyway so...

I'd love a tribrid $500-$700 comparison. Maybe a shootout between the EST50, the EJ07m, and the Mangird Xenns up.

Guess now it's just a matter of time until EST50

I have an EST50 that has cleared US Customs (on the 10th ... what gives?). I go on record now that I'll be very surprised (pleasantly) if I enjoy them nearly as much as my H40. I've got IEMs that cost more than 10x the H40 that I don't enjoy as much.

That's a fine selection of inventory you have there, sir.

(Also eagerly awaiting impressions.)

The graph that was posted here for EST50 doesn't look like most other graphs here or on other forums. Does anyone have a different graph for it? It would be good to be able to compare it to the graphs at squig.link.
It hasn't been reviewed widely yet, but I'd like to know if the graph resembles the H40 in most ways or if there are significant differences. To me, the treble looks to be quite rolled off and not extended. People claimed that the IKKO OH1 had extended treble with great resolution but instead I feel it's their biggest weakness. The LZ A6 is too bright for me, but I wouldn't want to buy something this expensive if it doesn't have clear and present treble all the way.

Holy Crap, my EST50 finally passed customs clearance 11 days after leaving Hong Kong. Let's see how much longer it takes for delivery.
