I think this is really great. Let me break this down from a Germans perspective because nobody asked:
The last time the HE4XX dropped, the asking price was $169.99. The shipment to Germany would've been an additional $15 (based on my 58X purchase).
$184.99 = 165.12 €
Everything that ships to Germany from outside the EU that has a value above 150 € gets a price inflation based on the category of product. This can be 0% (game consoles for example), but also 17% (certain kinds of shoes... yeah, don't ask me).
From what I gathered, headphones will get inflated by 2%.
168.42 €
Of course they will apply VAT to this new value, which is 19% and comes down to exactly 32 €.
200.42 €
Now, if I'm unlucky, I won't be at home when the local delivery service shows up so the package will be stored at a certified package shop. From what I understand, if a package that comes from outside the EU and exceeds a certain size price (or both), they will add an additional fee for storage. Since I'm usually at work during delivery times, I'm of course out of luck. If I remember correctly from my 58X purchase, the additional storage fee came down to 6.50 €.
So in the worst case I would have paid 206.92 € instead of the 187.46 € I have paid now. Add the faster shipping times (customs alone can heavily fluctuate) and I think I made a good deal for a Massdrop exclusive.
Well, yeah... stick to it, Massdrop!

Bro_Yun-FatYeah right. And let me add, for the Italians friends, that your math Works the same here but with the exception that the VAT is 22% instead of 19%. So the final price for purchase from a US drop would be even higher.
So good job Massdrop for trying this EU special.
Thanks
