Headphones, earphones news and discussion thread

Response from Pristine Note regarding pricing of M2.

" Yes there is an expected price increase for M2 due to the addition of Comply foam tips in packaging and also due to increase US$ exchange rates. The ~3.6k price is only tentative, we will try to keep it much lower "

I think I just saw a post in TE. Let me check the date before I comment further. A 1k increase is a 30% increase

They are pushing me BPL

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

Yep, I mailed him and posted in his TE Brainwavz sale thread, he replied there.

 

[Sarath]

Oh damn. I'm doomed.

PL 21 bass is too overwhelming for me. And the sound is veiled.

Off-topic : Mp4nation ships to india for free? And how to pay them(Debit cards or only credit cards)?

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

No, It's HM5, triple driver I guess.

BRAINWAVZ HM3 Headphones [Brainwavz-HM3] - : MP4 Nation!, :: Low Priced MP4, MP3 Players and the latest scoop on the newest MP4 Player

And yeah they offer free shipping, and payment modes include Credit & Debit cards too I guess, the gateway was worldpay.

The postal service takes over two months to bring parcels to India. Avoid it if possible.

Last time I checked there was no EMS option for India. Have they added it now? When I ordered it took two months. Faun told me his parcel is taking even longer.

From where?? mp4nation?

Update1 :
You were right, EMS from HK to India isn't there, but I have a EMS package written in Chinese, let me check.

Update 2 :
My bad, it was from Singapore. But the above tracking info is for my tracked package from HK which was delivered under 10 days, even in the past it was never more than 10 days for me.

 

[Krow]

Yeah both of us had ordered from mp4nation.

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

Yeah both of us had ordered from mp4nation.

let me see again this time, my M4 is in transit.

 

[Sarath]

How much did you pay for the M4 in INR?

 

[Faun]

Yeah I got my RE272 by EMS speed post within 5 days. But the normal post from MP4nation got RTS after 1 month of stay at Mumbai Foreign Post office.

 

[Krow]

Head direct offers EMS option?

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

How much did you pay for the M4 in INR?

2.4k in the early bird pre order offer, retail is 3.4k

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

So it went RTS & sent back via EMS?
