Well I still do not have my HE-350's. :(
I'm assuming the Fellowship of The HifIMan has somehow gotten lost, or perhaps been ambushed by Orcs in Kent, WA. I hope that Frodo, Aragorn and Boromir; Legolas; Gandalf; Gimli the Dwarf, the son of Glóin; and Frodo's three Hobbit companions are still en-route.
After passing through a Grand Junction in the Rocky Mountains, arriving in the land of Colorado they turned their party southwards to the Great Lake of Salt, and the High Elves of Utah -- wherein they were gifted magical cloaks to aid them.
From the land of Utah and the Lakes of Salt our companions traveled West, evading raiding parties bent on stealing the one headphone to rule them all. After sending runners back along their trail, I learned they had arrived at the small coastal village of Kent, WA.
The weary travelers must have been exhausted after their 12-day trek from lush and green idyllic pastures of Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. The company of hero's has not been heard from now in nearly 9 days after arriving in the sleepy hamlet of Kent. It would have taken 41 hours hours by mechanical horse to traverse this distance according to my mage, Google.
Their plans were to secure passage aboard a merchant vessel, so that they may avoid having to traverse the high Canadian Rocky mountain range. Taking the inside passage along the coast of Canada, I had hoped they would avoid evil men and pirate boarding parties.
Alas, no word of the brave fellowship has been heard for some time, and no new dispatches from the hamlet of Kent have been made for six rising suns. Perhaps a rouge storm has overtaken their vessel, or maybe the Kent itself has been sacked by Orcs?
Hope appears to be fading fast for the race of audiophiles, and with it all dreams of an open-backed future of sonic clarity. I understood that these were circumaural headphones, but I did not realize they had to circumnavigate the globe first to arrive at my Hobbit Hole.
I had a package from INDIA arrive on the 24th that was shipped on the 15th.
Nine days.
Across an ocean.
Through customs, across the entire continent of the USA and to my door in Alaska. Nine days.
And that was sent with "free" EMS shipping.

DenaliDaveThey were "handed off" to the USPS by Fedex on the 18th, and USPS is still not showing anything other than they've been "notified" to expect them.
So they've been in "limbo" for 8 days. Are the still in Kent, WA? At the bottom of the ocean? On someone else's head? Who knows!
