500+ Head-Fier
I also prefer the amperior to the momentum. Found the amperior to be more capable with all types of music. Wish they'd just chuck in a case for that price!
Does anyone know if I will be able to refuse delivery and the £57.99 customs charge as I did not expect customs to be this much...the headphones are coming to £290 which I cant really afford and I could order from the US for £240 (just checked)
Would I need to pay for the return delivery/would they deffinatly be sent back to V-Moda so I could get a refund?
Thanks
Well they already ARE coming from the US technically so no matter what you'd be paying duty to have them shipped over the pond. In my experience, I've skipped customs duty by using standard post, but if I use FedEx or UPS priority shipping, I'll ALWAYS get bit with customs.

Ahh OK
How are you getting on with your pair BTW?
Could anyone tell me how Phaeleh sound...specifically Afterglow if you have it?
Cheers

I'll check out that Phaeleh track in a while, I'm pretty sure I have it on my iPod.
But they are very nice. I'm just getting used to them. Honestly I was a bit underwhelmed out of the box, but I burned them in with drum and bass over night and they turned into a new monster. The detail retrieval is a new experience for me, especially in the highs, and all along the bass spectrum they seem to have some nice detail, but the bass roll off isn't as bottomless as I was hoping - my CKM500 IEMs hit pretty deep in comparison, but the midrange and highs are so lush and detailed it's really a winner. I was expecting more of a roll off in the highs but they roll off at just the right frequency to stay non-sibilant.

It's really a shame because they are beautiful, light, well-made headphones and I really wanted to like them.
musical-kage your first impressions are exactly how I felt. After an over night burn in though, they loosened up and sound much better, and I can safely say I AM blown away by them now, and I have barely had an hour of listening on them.
I also eqd the bass To get better sub bass rumble, and the lower highs up a notch to get that sparkle in the cymbals.
does anybody have spacers And have problems with the seal? I think my ear jewelry is getting in the way of a proper seal.
