So the UPS guy comes, and drops off my TH-XOO, good day. I to my room to unbox them and while im taking out my knife the door rings again, I run back to the front door and DHL is there with my HE-400i which wasnt supposed to come till tomorrow. Dear diary, today was a good day.

EzireThe BF CM weekend made it hard to pass up the HE-400i deal. I've had mine about a week and absolutely love the planar sound and comfort. Today the TH-X00 (261) was at the door so will have some serious listening to do.

eeaglehaha, yeah, it's pretty funny how many people did that. Luckily it seems that the two headphones (HE400i and THX00) are good complements to each other. Both also seem to pair really well with the M9XX too.

EzireAlso got the H400i even though it said northamerica/canada only it still checked out when i choose my country (sweden) frome the webiste and the discount was still valid. Got it shipped 4days frome Hong kong to sweden to my adress and that was with DHL express. My X00´s was shipped 4th still just " En route to DHL eCommerce Distribution Center" status. I guess american DHL is just way way worse ?

BaronVonYoloMaybe. We don't use DHL within the US. I think it's just for International shipments. We only use UPS, USPS, and Fedex.

BaronVonYoloThat's quite interesting that they processed your order even if shipping was to Sweden! I've placed my order on their website the last day the special offer was valid and took for granted they that would only apply the discount to the US/Canadian orders, as clearly advertised. Since it was the last day, I didn't want to risk that the order could be cancelled at a later stage - as not compliant with the terms of the offer - and therefore I decided to have the HE400i shipped to a friend of mine who lives in NY. The best part is that he will come to Italy next week and he has offered to hand carry the headphones with him, which means I've unexpectedly saved on international shipping cost to Italy and heavy customs duties in particular...! I'm looking forward to receiving the Fostex (I'm hanging there like all the rest of the international 'droppers', since DHL Global Mail will certainly translate in longer transit times) but I'm even more curious to check the sound of the HE400i. We will see...

JamesXIs it UPS Ground or something? I've been checking my tracking every day or two, and today they updated the estimated delivery to next Tuesday :( Meanwhile, something shipped from Amazon on the same day as this did via USPS, and it got here in half that time. The obvious conclusion is that UPS shipping to Hawaii is slow, overpriced, garbage... then again I can count the number of times I've had stuff shipped via UPS on one hand, so maybe that's not a fair assessment.

WuthoqquanYeah, i actully made the order by mistake not seeing the "Us and canada only" (only saw it couple off days later)so i got lucky.
Even more so on import taxes got an fee off 15$ give or take. Still with that that´s half off the retail price here in sweden. And i got them within 5 days frome hong kong.... that´s just nuts! If i may recommend u do something with them u shoud do a Grill mod really simpel to swtich out and improves the soundstage by Allot. mine : http://imgur.com/uRAaYTS i later removed the cloth i cuted out caouse it was to thick. and u only really need it if u live in an dusty area or with allot´s off winds. So far this being my first Planar headphones i really like them with everything i tried thus far. Sorry for the off topic guys. I do as well really looking forward to reciving the Fostex !

BaronVonYoloWOW! ... you were really blessed by customs as well! For anything marked $300, I would have to pay around $80 for import taxes/duties! That's why my good friend in NY is really making me one more big favor by carrying the HE400i with him next week.
Are yours the updated HE400i, with the standard jacks for the headphones cable? Also, your mod is tempting... would it be possible to have more details or a link on how to do it? is it reversible? This is something I may look at while waiting for the Fostex to arrive... usually DHL Global Mail takes about 20 days to deliver from USA to Europe! Although I've noticed that the service used by Massdrop is marked 'Priority'. We shall see in the upcoming days... Thanks!

WuthoqquanYupp got the uppdated version. Think all new orders frome hifiman is the new one now. It´s totally reversible and dosen´t damadge the headhphone in anyway. It just gives a more 3dsound and more pleasent to my ears. http://www.head-fi.org/t/619447/hifiman-regrilling-mod
Yupp patience is runing thin off waiting for the fostex´s mine are at Germany right now so probably early next weak and i will have them in my hands!
