I am too. I don't think anyone from the US has gotten the E5 yet. 

Good to hear I'm not the only one. I don't mind waiting. Just wish there was an update with ETA or something. That's all.

Still waiting on tracking info for the review E5...

Same here. That's why I posted. Thought it was a bit odd.

Hey @whitedragon551, @nmatheis, @kman1211, @Evshrug, really sorry for the delay. We had some logistic problems in sending the Sound Blaster E5 units to the U.S. but fortunately the issues have been resolved and you should receive a DM from me with the tracking code end of today or latest tomorrow!

Yeah baby! You guys are gonna love it!

 

[nmatheis]

Awesome! Thanks for updating us, Lucas. Much appreciated :thumbsup_tone1:

 

[LucasCL]

  Mine just arrived today (Roar2)
 
Sadly it appears to be DOA.  Lucas, I've sent you a PM.  Plugged it in - no lights. Tired USB no lights.  Used power button - no lights.
 
Awaiting instructions .....

 
Hey @Brooko, so sorry for that! I have dispatched a replacement unit to you. Please check your DM for more details

 

[Brooko]

Thanks Lucas.  I'll let you know as soon as replacement gets here, and original unit is on it's way back

Is the logistical error something like "hey, we're sound BLASTER, maybe we can deliver them quicker by putting them in a cannon and just blasting the units out to them?"
10 minutes after borrowing the engineering team's cannon...
"Nope nope, guess we're going to use the old fashioned method. After we build 4 new E5s."

Just kidding.

I mean, can we reeeeeeeeeeally complain? Nope!

Thanks for the update. I think it's unanimous that we appreciate that, and the novel attempt to deliver the units faster.

Was it "Bighead's" cannon invented while working at Hooli?

Thanks 

 - appreciated that.
 
To turn it off you actually have to be able to turn it on in the first place. I've already tried troubleshooting it with Lucas.  They'll run diagnostics on it when they get it back.  He has a replacement on its way already.  Amazing service on a review sample.

 

[Brooko]

Lucas - replacement arrived.  Working correctly (and sounds incredible actually)
 
I'll get the original unit in the courier today or tomorrow.

 

[Brooko]

A few photos if interested - sorry - rushed these ..... (clients - will do better job in a couple of weeks) 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Only had 30 minutes with it so far.
 

1. Really easy to pair with blue tooth - took me less than a minute (with no instruction manual needed)
2. Incredibly crystal clear sound
3. It has bass!
4. I really like it

 
More later
