Not able to order SA5000 - dissapointed

[mysticaldodo]

I've emailed the Sony HQ in my country and they said they couldn't import it due to it not being launched in the market and not wanting to go againts legislation (

)

What a pity. I dunno if I should wait but what if it never ever gets released?

This reminds me of Grados where they do not want to sell their products in certain countries???

Nope, I'm not resorting to ordering for overseas....at least not yet. I need to at least send my cans somewhere to repair just in case. I'm no good at DIY yet so I'm kinda wary. Anyway I don't like the hassle of importing things.

I might have to settle for HD 650 but damn, I want the SA5000 too

Anyway if I order such an expensive things (considered expensive when bought from Audiocubes) from overseas my parents would kill me....

Well why not contacting Audiocubes to see if they will honor the warranty or at least help in repairing them under the warranty

Yah that would be a awful shame to have to go with the HD650s ... Im pretty certian everyone would laugh at you and your horrible headphones

on a side note...what legislation could there possibly be agaisnt the importing of audio gear? darn other places and their not so free trade!

 

[mysticaldodo]

Maybe Grados and not so GIANT companies might limit where they sell their headphones for whatever reason...but WHHHYYY SOONNYYY????

My Gsgerrari can sell me his??? I know he mutilated his one

It would be expensive to send them back for repair I think. Better to have a localised service centre.

im in the same situation...... wanting the sa5000, but not knowing how to aquire them currently

.

i know they can be had for $550-$600 american after shipping and whatnot, but its the actual ordering that is tough.

i cant wait to get one of these for myself....
