Seiun player, $150 player with monster spec. Too good to be true?

[batteraziiz]

I funded two audio products last year, PUGZ and two players from Seiun (One reg and one Pro) and Seiun is the only one of the two I have faith in at this point...

Patience. They exist. They are coming.

I posted earlier.

I tried the basic Seiun player at a show in Tokyo last December(?).
So it exists and they had several colors available.

I also bought two sets of their earphones and reviewed them on my blog. So they exist too.

I'm considering the basic Seiun player. You said that you tried it. Are there any observations that you can share concerning its sound, build, and/or basic operation? I would also be interested in your impressions of their earphones. Thanks.

Seiun player.

Build is solid, as can be for the material. I couldnt see any problems.

Basic operation ...is a basic button UI. I got the hang of it fairly quickly. Basic.it works.

Sound. Its in a low price point, small form, basic player but earned the Hi-Res sticker. I thought it sounded good.

.................

Cyberdrive earphones, click on the blog link and search Cyberdrive- an earphone review should show up.

Once i swapped tips I thought they were quite good earphones within their price bracket.

Packing and shipping

 

[Middy]

I don't like the colour of the packaging. Is there a refund option...

 

[Dixter]

I think those packages are for the  Seiun Player ... not the PRO/PROX
 
they are to ship before the end of the month..  they better get going... only two days left...

 

[fox403]

not till march for the pro x dixter

I waited long enough, I just ordered the Seiun player (should be perfect for exercise purposes). I do have an assortment of IEMs, but am now wondering if I should order their Impact-Dura earphones. If they are made to pair well with the Seiun player, they would be worthwhile. I'm thinking either those or Yuin PK2 from massdrop. Any thoughts?

  not till march for the pro x dixter

got my fingers crossed...

We were crying last week but we're laughing this week

 Seems like we've turned a corner and it wasn't dead man's curve.....

Just filled out my survey for Pro X. Looking forward to having an android-based DAP without the price tag of something like Fiio X7 or Sony ZX2. Is it March yet?

 

[rtar]

That's what I call quick. I placed my order earlier today, and I got the survey a little while ago. However, I wonder why its necessary. Most of the info on it was given on the order.....the other things could have been included on the order form as well. It seems to me to be a time consuming (for them) extra that is basically unnecessary, but...............what do I know?

 

[Middy]

Might be easier to collect the information from the forms to give ideas for forward build schedules. People are fickle and do change thier minds. That many colour's mean a lot of different processing and forward projection in manufacturing. You can always tell what colour head phone doesn't sell as that colour ends up in sales... I suppose they don't want a warehouse full of Pink Pro X's.. lol

It will be Xmas before we know it.. Mid March is only 6 weeks away...
