Great review...

 

[stevenswall]

Money in hand in one week... hope to order these, as I have another dual dynamic pair (Koss KDE/250) that has so far been untouchable in my expierience of the $100-300 range. Hope they fit well enough to do a comparison, it seems that a larger anti-helix would help fit wise, mine is larger than average, and may help with the seemingly terrible fit of the HP-TWFR.

Hi guys! I've been eyeing this thread for a while, and I've been in contact with Jack from accessoryjack in regards to these headphones. Great news: he had been planning to supply them, and rushed the product onto the catalogue, where it is now available for $150 plus $10 shipping!

Sorry to sound like an ad, but I've always had good experience buying from them and Jack has always been reliable, so I'm jumping on these now. Payment is available by paypal, which is always awesome. He's listened to them as well, and agrees that the seem pretty good. Can't wait to receive them!

Well they definitely are a good place to buy stuff from Japan. $160 doesn't sound like a bad price at all.

Hope accessory jack works - be great to collate a good list of vendors.

When I was doing research for purchasing my CK90Pros, they came up here as pretty reputable. I had no problems with the shipment. Packaged nicely, tracking available, arrived in a week. Best part is, when I contacted the seller about the CKS90 pros when they were announced, he said he would contact me when the product was available - and he did! For me thats a new experience, because most sellers never follow up.

He was also surprised at how fast I seemed to be getting information about this stuff. Go Head Fi!

AND you have to tell them your passport and the reason you are in the country and give your registration number. Hell, next time I'll be giving fingerprints to the bastards.

Completely agree. If I can get something for a reasonable price in korea, I try to get it here, but it's not always easy. My Beyerdynamic headphones were cheap off ebay, but the final delivered price was shocking. I was surprised too at an added delivery charge on top of the tax! (I thought I had already paid all shipping costs to the ebay seller)

With regards to the Radius earphones, they caught my eye in Shinsegae department store, and subsequently looked for reviews. At the time there weren't any, so grateful to you now. The fit puts me off, but maybe if I'm flush with cash one day I'll give them a go for home use.

shigzeo have you heard the FX700 in addition to these? If so, can you give some brief comparison impressions?

Music Dynamic Audio & Accessory Station . Buy Audio-Technica , Sony , Victor headphones.... out of Hong Kong shipped out to me very fast for a $165 total - to the U.S.A. So, I didn't think that was a bad price at all. I should see them by the end of the week here.

Thanks for the review!

What? You mean your fingerprints aren't on record already?

Nice review by the way. Can't see me being tempted away from my FX700 for a long time - but for me, a long time is till morning....

And a dual driver dynamic, interesting

Yeah, so many hoops to go through here. I love having to show my foreigner ID just to chat on forums... or you know, get a grocery points card.

Anyway, I have a mate at the American army base who can help out. Evidently, they get special Amazon dispensation as if they were in the USA! Sweeeeet!

If anyone have doubt with accessoryjack.com,don't be.
Jack is really excellent and he always replies to me in the same day and ofcourse shipping is very fast and cheap from japan.he will also write the value of the package as $20 without you even asking so that you can avoid customs.excellent man, that's for sure.

Great review shigzeo, as always. Still I think I can resist this time, having too many indoor IEMs already. Speaking of which, are you still addicted to the FADs?

 

[tadad1]

So keen to pick these up but am reluctantly holding off for a bit more user feedback. I keep looking at the earpiece design and the fit photos in your review and thinking the cable attachment point in relation to the position and angle of the sound tube for the silicon is so arse-about-face I can't imagine any scenario where these would get even a half decent fit\seal.

Think about it - not only could you fit about 57 drivers into something that big, but you could have a girly version with sparkly bits and multiple piercing holes for accessorising, and a manly version with added sprouting hair and scars on it to make you look tough.

Hilarious! The girly version could come with a make-up case with a mirror inside, and the manly version in the middle of a pornographic spread, right?

Just make sure you don't listen to your phones sitting on the porcelain like I do, because when you run out of tissue you could end up using your carrying-case to clean up...
