Would anyone have any information regarding buying an ifi audio iDSD BL in India. AFAIK there is no authorised Indian re-seller. Does anyone else have any insight as to who else might be stocking it.

Thanks.

There used to be a official India distributor but now he is not listed on the ifi audio page still mail him at 'sales@ifi-audio.in' and ask.

Thank you for the info. I tried both of them and hifimart said they dont have stock yet. The only other option i am left with is to get it from Singapore and pay 44% customs duty. I personally think thats a bit steep.

Hey! So i'd been lurking for a while, but this thread really caught my attention!

So I'm a broke wanting-to-be-audiophile, currently in Bangalore.

Started my journey with the in-package earbuds with the Sony w810i (still one one of the best phones of all time!). That was my introduction to decent audio, since before IEM's, nothing ever fit more than 10 seconds.

Then it was an EP630. Moved on to Soundmagic PL21 >> Soundmagic E10 (lost on the BMTC ( ) >> Phillips 3595 >> Soundmagic P30 >> Xiaomi Piston 3 >> KZ ATE. Also have a pair of Swan D1080's.

So, that's my audio journey, quite visibly budgeted, which i am trying to work around now. Looking for some full sized cans, ideally want to try them out first!

Would love to hear of any meet-up's that happen

Cheers!

Could anyone suggest a person or shop that can do earphones recabling in Bangalore? The 3.5mm bend in my Dunu earphones has a loose connection and I don't know who offers service for Dunu in India. Need a perfect job.

I'd also be interested in knowing. Was planning to give it a try myself, but any professional help (relatively cheap) would be better

With a heavy heart, I sold my HD6XX to my friend. Bought from someone in March and used it only once. I have a M50s and M50x. Didn't get enough time to put on the HD6XX to enjoy it. Instead, I keep shuffling between Rockjaw Alfa Genus v2, Noble X and Vibro Labs Maya. Latter two mostly hooked to Chord Mojo. Figures that I'm more of an IEM lover when it comes to music.

Only Bajaao can sell an OPEN BOX speaker for more than a boxed one.

Hey,

Do check out Headphone Zone's Headphone Connect events hosted by Raghav Somani, for starters.

And on the side, you could contact some local head-fiers (there are quite a few in B'lore) and get together for a meet up at someone's house, preferably over fresh cups of filter coffee, or better still, over a pint or two.
This is what a few of us did in Delhi/ NCR, before Headphone Connect came along.

Edit> We still continued our meet ups outside of Headphone Connect, to benefit from increased listening time, and reduced drinking/ eating/ talking time.

Cheers!

I currently don't have any proper setup used to have m50x used to drive them with Mi5, and now I have OP3T and Brainwavz M1, thought of getting the Senn 6xx from massdrop but then GST kicks in, disappointing India customs.

If you are looking for a cheap but good openback then get Superlux 668B it was going $30 a few days back on gearbest even with customs that was a killer price. Another one that people swear by is ISK HF2011.

I can get the superlux for around 3k inr from fiio.co.in, should I buy it, but I've heard that the high end gets fatiguing, but then getting an open back for this price is a steal anyways. And thanks so much.
