Buying headphones from ebay.in global easy buy

[sandynator]

Hi guys planning to buy koss ur55 from eBay.in through global easy buy route.
I know there will be no warranty but is it safe to buy headphones through this route? The reseller is i2c world inc
Here is the link
KOSS UR 55 STUDIO PULSE HEADPHONES

Will there be any added cost apart from the mentioned price?
i.e customs & other taxes .

Thanks in advance.

 

[samudragupta]

its safe, and as per ebay policy Global EasyBuy, Shop internationally - eBay India the cost is inclusive taxes
the only downside is as you said no warranty

 

[sandynator]

ya thanks bro. BTW @samudragupta did you get your headphones??
the cc also confirmed 1 month refund in case of damaged or defect arising.


just confused now whether to get koss dj100 which are comparable to ath m50(as per head-fi reviews) around 5k from amazon or stick to these ur55. dj100 would require an neutral amplifier.....

 

[samudragupta]

i have got mine from local retail and online...
hmmm my next upgrade would be to the ath m50 around november... i personally have read the reviews on headfi and also many members have suggested the m50's. I think the m50 would be a safe bet. I would be getting them online from pristinote since they also offer 1 yr warranty but they are priced @ 10k.

Booked KOSS UR55 @ Rs.1459.04/- using HDFC CC[1658-12% HDFC CC discount]

[sandynator]

thanks bro........
Asked my cousin if he can share one.
Rs 1580/- is quite sweet deal for them

The reseller has given me some other option of NAKAMICHI STUDIO HEADPHONES NK900 WHITE

BTW Is amp required for them??
Main source will be Nationite N2 & My dying PC [without soundcard].

 

[The Incinerator]

They are pretty easy to drive. Nationite with the MAX9722 headphone amplifier chip will drive them ,yes.

 

[samudragupta]

Very tight on budget these few months after getting the mobile. Sorry bro..

 

[sandynator]

No issues
Btw they removed the listing. Now they have some 2 pack with some mic but nothing mentioned properly.
Snapdeal makes that blunders. I doubt if they will fullfill the order
Will check local lamington market before ordering it.

Finally booked Samson SR850-2 pack
Samson SR850 - 2 Pack Studio Headphones: Price, Reviews & Buy online in India - Snapdeal.com

Its available in Mumbai's lamington market but hardly 5% discount on MRP.

Product available with the seller now waiting for the delivery.

Congrats..

Finally the parcel arrived...
Initial impression - Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Nice & tight bass punch, not at all overwhelming or overshadowing other frequencies, smoother midrange & highs do not pierce into ears, Open & Airy sounding.
Cons- The pleather earpads which heats up the ears, had to adjust after 30-45 mins. Poor packaging & doubtful build quality but can survive for years to come if taken care properly. These are semi open cans so sound will leak.

Could not resist them. Eyes were sleepy but Ears wide awake
Opened the parcel around 12 midnight but had to put them back in drawer @2.30 am as the Nationite's battery died.

Do not remember now the lamington's price but you will get it in Dev audio

I still have them but hardly get time to use it.

Welcome for audition but I would recommend you to go for Samson SR950.
