i rang them today to try and pay. they told me it was like 30 for VAT and then £13 for handling costs. i couldn't pay today as the package wasn't at my local west London hub. will try and pay tomorrow i hope.
they may calculate your tax differently but i doubt it.
I'm getting really impenitent waiting for these
dutchi, the reason there's no 'baseline' (meaning reference) is that so much of the music you fellas are listening to has no reference. Electronic music is open ended. You can never refer back to a real world open air sound to compare it to and so you will never know if the bass quality is reference quality or just to someone's particular basshead tastes. Compare that scenario to a cello or a bass guitar or a bass drum. Then there is a reference and someone who is familiar with those instruments can tell, yes this is accurate, no this is not. This is my big issue with electronic based music and discussion of sound. It really just makes for a jumbled discussion and I believe headphone design, trying to please and accomodate 'unreal sounds' made by 1's and 0's and real sounds made by human souls. Two different things entirely.
I want the best of all worlds, too. I want a lot of deep bass with a hard bass punch added to it. But, I want the bass to stay put in its place and keep itself from invading the mids and highs. Most people's ears appreciate that. Some will tolerate it better than others if this doesn't happen, but our ears know well what the best of all worlds is, and they want it. Do any of these FXZs have the best of all worlds?
another one wanting hard bass punch ! it never ends. I'm in the wrong thread.....Don't all of you order your sets from japan, In a week you might see mine $25 off in the classifieds! I may need a basshead buyer.
Please someone answer the following: Are these the real deal? Do these have the best of all worlds?
I would consider these audiophile bassy. The word here is quality. At the same time the sub woofer in these make other earphones with bass something not so substantial..It appeals to the audiophile in me and the basshead in me. Something that I thought would never happen.
