Is the XBA-H2 the red headed step child?  Not much about it.

I have only seen the H1 and H3 out in the wild over here in Germany. Maybe you could track the H2 down for us and report........

I still didnt receive the headphones yet even though the expected delivery by USPS was 1/7/2014. I will just make sure to right a bad review about Adorama Camera, the seller on Amazon, for giving me the slowest shipping speed in the world.
 
I am so annoyed now.......sorry guys

The thing that kills me more is that USPS tracking says its in Los Angeles since 1/6/2014 and I live in Los Angeles !

This is what broke the camel's back
 
Expected delivery: Friday, January 3, 2014, by 8:00pm  - January 8, 2014 by 8:00 p.m.
 

January 8, 2014, 9:55 am,

Tendered to local postal carrier for final delivery

 
The bolded text got me pretty disappointed.
 
Package arrived at a carrier facility - January 8, 2014 11:12:00 AM <--- that's where the disappointment began.

I have a very similar situation! Did you buy it off Amazon through Adorama Camera seller ?
 
It said expected  delivery on 1/7/2014 but if it will be the same as yours that after 5 days still not delivered then I will probably have a heart attack!

Yes, unfortunately.
 
Though I will receive it tomorrow as the ups site says the actual estimate is 1/9. I am never setting my expectations on a date anymore.

UPS ? Mine is on USPS

Sounds like "smart post" delivery. UPS or FedEx handles the transport of the package to your local post office and then it is delivered by USPS. It is very slow and items often sit in their final destination for a few days. The "tendered to local post office" is how you can tell the service type.

.............can't I just go and pick it up ? Will never buy from Adorama Camera ever ever again. I will make sure to leave them a bad review for giving me such a slow delivery time.
 
The USPS delivery man just gave me some items I purchased from Amazon and the H3 wasnt one of them

bingo
 
I read that while I saw it saying tendered, and I was pretty miffed. However, ...oh wait, I'm still miffed. I wish amazon would just forget giving people the estimated delivery dates, or at least update them in order to lower expectations. the UPS site says it'll be delivered to me tomorrow, I sure hope USPS honors that.

I had the same problem, 4 phone calls, ended up wrenching it from postie's bike bag as he was delivering next door.

Still didn't arrive today too

I'd be extremely pissed as well. Did you try to contact the post office? They're sometimes aggravating to talk to, but you can schedule a faster delivery. It happened to me with the ortofon-eq 5.
