I've owned Yuin PK1s before and I think they're amazing. Before I heard them, my assumption was that earbuds were junk and that you needed to go with IEMs to get decent sound outside of a full-sized can.
This earbud was a true revelation. I have only one concern with them. They are as durable as they look... which is to say that they are not durable at all. The only other headphone I adore that has the same issue is the Koss KSC35/50. However, the price of those headphones is often around $15 and Koss has a lifetime warranty.
I don't know if anything has changed, but I was heartbroken after my Yuin PK1s broke after a year of use despite being in the carrying case. I moved on to the Blox earbuds and the Sennheiser MX980 but I'm not sure anything came close to the Yuin PK1 sound. However, it's really hard to drop $200 bucks on this again.
At $119, I'd give it a try. Anyone know if Yuin has improved on their build quality or warranty? It looks like nothing has changed on their website since the last time I checked in 2009 :) http://www.yuin-acoustic.com/warranty/

utdeepSo this is a company that has a somewhat "obscure" warranty policy. Did you contact Yuin about it? If so, what's their reply?
To Mark or Will or any Massdrop team member: How does Massdrop deal with these types of issues when there is no obvious warranty policy from the the vendor? E.g. if this product goes bad after 6 or 15 months, what happens?

royalflushNo idea who to contact back in '09 although I bought it from headphone.com. Looking around on the web, it looks like most people talk to whoever they bought it from rather than Yuin.
