I ordered mine from frontendaudio and they still say shipment is arriving on 9/9. I hope that's the case.
Ha! I hope that's the case.. Call and have them check - (With their vendor and get the word from
FOSTEX's mouth.)
That info is old and is what their website
defaults saying when they're out of something... at least that's what they told me when I called... (the front end audio techie.) Not to burst your bubble, but you better check around and be 105% sure, or you're not getting a headphone. (I've been where you're already...)
The ONLY vendor I know of for sure that's getting some any time soon is
Full compass. And when I called two days ago 11 out of 20 were already 'reserved/spoken for.'
I think they're not getting some until early October
earliest. Better call Front end and check. If you can't get any from Full compass, (call them first as their shipment
IS coming in on Sept -
13th) then B&H is your best bet that I know of...
They are next in line, (and ordered 70% of the total order from Fostex
to the US... Like 200 headphones or something). The Fostex distributor gets these about Sept 15, but B&H doesn't get them from the distributor until early October.... And THEN you have to wait for them to get to your door. Realistically, you're not looking at a T 50RP on your doorstep until mid October with B&H shipping... Oh, and what if you miss FOSTEX next USA order which is usually MONTHS apart.. Then you're 100% screwed. I say buy from Full compass, pay the **** $8.00 priority shipping, have a wonderful pair of Fostex at your door by Sept 18-19, and be done with it, but that's just me. If you see differently, then trust me,
goodluck.
Lately these headphones have been very frustrating for people at Head-fi. (ASK "Zammykoo", he's been
searching. for. weeks.) I decided to sit down on a stick, and
go get my headphones.
and THEIR (B&H's) shipment comes in
Sept 30th, or Oct 2nd. which is a long way off all by itself. Better set your pre-order / reserve now or I doubt you'll get one.. This is coming from someone who spent half a day (and I got some great leads/insight too
) looking.
