I have the new version of Xcape with me now but I am not quite ready to make my opinion on it yet. The initial impression is positive, however it is quite different from the original Xcape for sure.

Could you give us a preview on how they differ so far from the original?

The original Xcape has a neutral sound while the v2 has a warm sound, almost being mid focus. I haven't had a chance to burn it in yet so I won't want to go too deep into the detail.

I too am looking forward for your review since I have placed an order for newer version yesterday.

Nice I would be very interested in seeing how they stack up against the RE0!

 

[kahaluu]

Very interested too, since I own both the REO and RE-ZERO's.

Not for me if v2 is warmer than v1.

Looks classier all around, although I think I preferred the original finish on the aluminum. Either way... looks like I might finally have a pair of IEMs for me, if they increased the bass and didn't take away from the clarity and detail. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread...

It's more bullet-like shaped and less ovalish. I'm sure it will still be comfortable but probably slightly less, that original Xcape housing is very good comfort wise.

I don't believe what they say is true. Just think about it a second:
 
1) How came they are selling an item that we just got to hear and there isn't even a review available?
2) Why would they charge less than the RRP when they are the only store where is in stock?
3) Why would they send a model that could be completely different that the one you ordered (Eterna V.1 vs Eterna V.2)
 
If I were you I would cancel my order immediately and wait for accurate information.

Just a heads up-
 
I emailed Bugden audio. I had placed an order for them a few days ago, and was trying to cancel so I could get the version 2's.  They emailed me back, the shipment they have coming in is the version 2. 
 
Edit: And they charge $79.99

They look very nice.

Completely disagree with the recommendation here. Bugden is an authorized reseller and they are waiting for a shipment to arrive. Why is it hard to believe the new shipment is the new model?

The new shipment is indeed the new model. (I am Bugden Audio, for those who do not know.)
 
Don't take this as official word on their part, but as far as I know, Sunrise did not intend to market the new batch any differently than simply improved. By that I mean there is no packaging change, and no 'Ver. 2' marking.
 
The new batch is now in stock. I can't give any subjective input as per Head-Fi regulations, but I will say it is different. I'll wait for them to burn in before I decide if I like the change or not. Personally, I'm more a fan of neutral gear, but we'll see.
 
As for the RRP, instead of raising the price, I decided to end the free shipping promotion. That was a $7 value to those in the US, $9 elsewhere in the world, and up to $12 in Canada.

Awesome, thanks Ethan.  I just got my processing confirmation, I am excited!  I've been using the iphone buds for weeks now.

 

[nivrethejugg]

Can't wait for them to arrive. Just ordered mine on lendmeurears. How was shipping for those who did?
