I'll do it Exestelis, I have a commercial account in the USA so can import stuff.

I meant someone in the US sending it to my country though. Small packages shouldn't cost too much(probably)

Had a few thoughts over the last few days:

1) I haven't had a woodie before
2) I want a woodie
3) The FX850 is awesome and i'd really like to have one
4) I've got not enough cash
5) This hobby sucks

Then I discovered this thread and life became alright once more.

Seriously considering purchasing one right now.

Either way, thanks to Eric, Dsnuts, DannyBai and any others who discovered this. Always look forward to your amazing discoveries!

Thus far some negatives on the sound. These are somewhat picky about sources. They do sound great in general with the variety of sources I am using with them however I can tell these are sensitive to impedance matching. Meaning these require a low impedance out source to sound their best. Higher output sources or high gain mode on most amps will make them sound less refined especially in the upper regions of sound. I have had them on the burn now for 2 days and nights straight and the sound is balancing out more so than on open listen and treble seems to benefit the most thus far. It went from being hidden to full on with solid improvement in definition, but exhibits a slight peak for vocals which is completely gone with something like a Geek Out .47 Ohm out match.
 
Overall though these are very impressive. I don't know if I would call them ruler neutral, they are certainly not analytical in sound signature. They have great balance but the sound definitely has coloration as most do. While not audiophile flat it has some very deceptive depth and fullness you would not associate with how average the earphones look. These don't have extra chambers or a housing that is larger than average but what it does have is a taller and fuller, deeper sound than average but has a solid amount of sound stage to pull it off. Here is where these remind me a bit of the CKR10 sound signature which is the only other iem I own that has this same type of trait in the sound. The crazy thing is the CKR10 has dual oversized drivers in push pull mode with a much larger housing to pull it off. The Rain2 looks humbly average almost boring in comparison. How many cheapo made in China woodies look just like these is my point. Very deceptive in how one would think these would sound. But as you all know it is all about the tuning.
 
The wood gives a very natural tonality to the overall sound that just works with dynamic drivers. It went from too warm on open listen to a much more even balanced and naturally smooth sound. Guys that are snapping up on this deal are getting one heck of a deal for these. Much like how the FX850 is about enjoying your tunes so are these Rain2s. These are not the end all for definition or timbre or stage, balance or depth. But they do solidly in all these aspects and when put together in one cohesive sound. One of the biggest surprises for me this year.

Well, I'm a sucker for promos and Dsnuts hype. Purchased.

In the US and have the listing from Thinksound in cart, but can't get HEADTIER or headfi14 to work. They both say "The promotional code you entered has expired."
