Shipping to Canada is unnecessarily and insanely high. $35US shipping for a $95. Once converted thats $45CND for a $120 IEM, and that doesn't even include duties and taxes we'll pay on our end. That may fly with the higher priced products (Didn't seem to hurt as bad when I bought my Sage), but not once you get down in price, its pretty unreasonable. Sorry folks, but if you wanna play in the cheaper space, you'll have to address your international shipping. Too bad, really looked forward to buying these.

In a situation like the above, buying through a dealer would be wise, as those costs are defrayed

Unfortunately the only Canadian dealer you have has not carried any of your products for some time...

For the US, It's $106. Including shipping. I might buy it next week.

If the sound description matches your tastes by all means jump on it like a fly on honey

EDC is a product line, and we do expect to develop different edc products with different sound qualities and different price points

The goal of edc is to keep them small and even more portable than the other products we offer.

Yeah. I'm into organic and warm sound. Even the opposite whenever it's needed. I just prefer the primary sound signature that I mentioned before.

Agreed. I just looked at this and it's pretty bad.

Is it worth having an Amazon store to use their Global shipping service? or eBay? Failing that, a dealer on AliExpress shipping directly from China?

For the aliexpreaa option we would first need to ship them to China, i don't really see the practicality in that.

We do have a dealer on Amazon, I'm not sure if he purchased some edc velvets or not.
