Americans are so spoiled . In Europe we usually pay the same or even a higher numerical value in euros or pounds. And if we try to be smart and import, we always risk getting shredded by import taxes. Thus, 150 pounds or 180 euros don't sound so bad when the MSRP of the fxz100 is 180$ if i am not mistaken. Maybe the price will drop significantly in 2-3 months, but i seriously doubt i can show that much continuous self-restraint 

. If the first reviews from people i trust describe a sound signature to my liking, i will get it asap. Triple dynamic with microdrivers and the soundstage of a headphone? I think i got a nosebleed when i learned about it 

.

 Tell me about it... I have to order everything form us to get reasonable prices on them

Hey jants do they ship straight to the US without have to go through a middle man to re-send the package???  It is not too bad for that price if shipping is reasonable............

They do not, a middle man must be used for this store at least.

 Yep, nobody on Global yet that does international for the FXZ'. So, the one has to factor in the forwarding cost for their location. It says free shipping domestic so the shipping is free to the forwarding address though. A bit too early for the lower prices but under $200 forwarded isn't bad for those who want to be early adopters.

I tried but failed miserably. That raukuten japan wants some type of bank transfer.. So I tried Amazon Japan. And Amazon Japan will not except my Tenso address at all..Fail and more fail! I give up!

LOL! You seem pretty frustrated. I was thinking of getting the fxz100 but with the lack of reviews and the upcoming gr08 and Xmas gifts I'm not that sure. The funny thing is that even though I'm in Europe a friend of mine is coming back from Japan in 18 days, so I still have some time to think about it and hope for at least one extensive review soon.

You are killing me mate... I clearly chose a bad time to return to head-fi (bad for my wallet that is). I know that you only had them for like 30 minutes, but did you happen to notice if the mids were recessed (with JVCs they usually are)?
 
[EDIT]
Btw, James, were art thou? 

 
Recessed, they certainly are not (to my ears anyway)  ...the entire FQ spectrum is distinctive in that if your music track has it, you'll hear it.
SQ is subjective, I am pretty sure that there will be a few who will find that these are NOT for them for whatever reasons, I am also very sure that there are going to be very, very few who will disagree with them.

Dude you can pm me or Ericp10. There might be an error with the address tensou gave, but most likely it was a mistake you made. It happened to me too I believe.
