Hi,

Looking trough german shops i was fairly disappointed about the prices earphones cost here... so i went over to Jaben, but there are a lot of good sets in my opinion, i just don´t know which one to choose...

Quote:

Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & AT-CK1
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & Audio-Technica EQ66
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & AT-Onto



Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & BeyerDynamic DT231
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & CrossRoads Amp & IC
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & AT-CK1 & ATH-C100M
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & AT-Onto & ATH-C100M
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & Beyerdynamic SX10
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & M-Jays
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & AT-M20
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & Koss Sporta Pro
Mylarone X3i or XBi or LBi or SVi & Olympus VN-1100 Voice Recorder

The CrossRoads Amp is based on a CMoy, and comes with a very basic generic mini to mini interconnect. Jaben also sells an entry level line out dock.

You should go back there. Jaben has a policy of letting you try everything and anything: CrossRoads through Rudistor & Yamamoto, Mylarone through Edition 9 (may be cheaper than getting it in Germany in a Jaben package deal, no VAT).

The major difference b/w the model is the amount of bass produced, which in order is: XBi > LBi > X3i > SVi. If you don't know which one you will like, my recommendation is X3i.

Anything I would buy from outside is cheaper than here in germany. The more expensive earphones are realy rare here....

Just an example
Westone UM 2
269,90€ (419,32$)

With the strength of the €, you will love the price of the UM2 in Singapore. Don't remember the exact price, but it was pretty close to the US online price, so you'll save at least 25% compared to Germany. Westone is pretty popular there, and the UM1 with GoVibe USB DAC package is under 100€. Comply foam tips are available at a good price as well.

While you are there, try the demo universal fit UE-10 and UE-11.

Sorry I misunderstood you. The new online shop, Soundcat, has different pricing from the prices listed on the forum because the Jaben forum has package deals, and new packages seem to be added on a weekly basis.

Soundcat is an online store based in Korea if i'm not wrong.

They are using USPS as one of their primary shipping method so I think they are U.S. based.

It could also be DHL, which frequently hands off in-country delivery to USPS.
