Jyri_DropSo i guess orders placed on the Jan 20th expected normal processing time to be a a few days, and shipped soon after. Here we are, 8 days later and the listing details say: "Estimated ship date is Feb 4, 2022 PT." So what's the story now?
jhonisHi Jhonis. The estimated ship dates can vary from time to time depending on multiple factors, such as order volume, inbound/outbound shipping schedules, carrier delays etc (not to mention COVID). In this case, our warehouse had an unexpected maintenance and we are currently finishing our annual inventory audit. It is possible we ship sooner than Feb 4th, but that is the current best estimate. Re: the original question – sometimes we take pre-orders before inventory is available. The Hifiman R7DX is in stock and will ship as soon as the earlier mentioned slowdowns are finished. Happy to help if you have any further questions.
You'd be comparing an open-back with a closed-back. Closed-back earphones are great for things like doing vocals so you don't get "bleed-through" in your mic. So, a better comparison would be another closed-back earphone.
