As someone who fell into the first shipment, was a bit disappointed to check up this week and discover after waiting that I'd missed out on the $40 coupon and the Gold x Silver cable.
BUT my K10s arrived this afternoon, and I put them on for a listen. 3 hours later, I'm pretty blown away by these things. They're absolutely amazing . Pretty sure they will be the 'end point' earphone/IEM for me (having developed a reasonable mid-range collection of IEMs and headphones over the past few years).
Yes, there has been some disappointments on the drop along the way, but having had these IEMs in my ears the last 3 hours, I absolutely do not have any regret on this purchase.
Here in Australia, I've also still saved a significant amount compared to what I would have paid sourcing these anywhere else. I have always been, and remain, supportive of small, dedicated companies like Noble (and a number of other manufacturers on Massdrop) who produce products of such calibre, and are so concerned with quality.
I do hope other purchasers in this drop have a similar experience, and the same satisfaction when they get their K10s and put them in for a listen.
Thanks for the amazing product Noble.
Nick0Hi Nick0, just wanted to ask what the process was like for going through customs as I also reside in Australia. Was it quick or did you have to go somewhere to get the product released?
OhhMyRiceOhhMyRice - based on tracking log, my K10s arrived in Australia (Sydney airport) in the morning on 3 Feb and were delivered to me on 6th, so 3 days between arriving in Australia and delivery to my door. (I live in Sydney city, noting was also over weekend.) It seems they only took the 1 day to clear customs/airport processing.
I did not have to go anywhere or do anything to get them released.
Not sure if I've just been lucky with customs or lucked out on the exchange rate when they assessed, but no additional tax/duty charged by customs, which was a nice relief. Hope you have a similar experience!
Nick0I'm in Sydney. Waiting on my K10's, in the first batch. I haven't received any tracking, but massdrop support said it shipped. Seems my order maybe lost.
dabsterI'd suggest you check in with them again. I was told I was in the first batch, but didn't get a tracking number. I went back and forth with Massdrop support with them saying that it has shipped, but today I get an email saying that a dozen of the sets (including mine) from the first batch did not get shipped out somehow, hence no tracking number. Very disappointed to hear, but apparently that means I'll be getting the cable with mine - no real idea when it will actually ship though.
keongI got the same response today. Held back for QA. I was one of the first people to order within a minute of it going live and now will be one of the last to get one.
Jas260Hey Jas260, nah I didn't end up paying for GST. Perhaps it was because the column that indicated the $900 was USD was relatively small so they didn't realise.
OhhMyRiceHey man, thanks get back to me so quickly
but apparently anything more than 1000AUD incl postage u have to pay gay plus duty and application fee, that what happened with me when buying grace design m920, i m not sure if u r lucky or they just simply didn’t declare true value of the package :)
OhhMyRiceI already join the drop for focal elear.
Cant afford to buy both of them.
I am wondering may be I will withdraw the elear drop and join this one?
any suggestions?
