Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

I was also recently looking at Fiio's F9 iem, they cost a bit more than EDC3 at around $138(£99) compared to the ED3's $99(£70).. does anybody have any experience with the Fiio F9 and could offer any advice? How would EDC3 compare to the SE215?
Please do correct me if I am wrong, still sort of a newbie in this field.. thanks!

Thanks!
2-pin connectors are great because: -There are a lot of 2-pin aftermarket cables available -The cable does not spin around freely and IEMs can be easier to put in quickly -Can have material that seals the electrical connections from outside contamination 2-pin can be "not-so-great" when: -The pin diameter of an aftermarket cable is made to a different standard (EDC/EDC3 use 0.78mm diameter vs. the 0.76mm usual NuForce diameter) -The +/- polarity can sometimes be reversed (EDC/EDC3 use different polarity from standard NuForce cables- same as Noble Audio, the Massdrop Plus, and most of the 2-pin cables we have tested)
MMCX connectors are great because: -There are also many aftermarket options available and the size of the connector is fairly standard -They can be easy to detach/re-attach -The cable can spin freely and this may be better ergonomically for some people MMCX can be "not-so-great" when: -Dust or corrosion can enter the spinning connector and cause intermittent drop-outs (depends on design/usage, sometimes a solvent can help) -You try to put IEMs in but the cable swivels and gets in the way -The cable can swivel too easily or does not keep shape and keeps falling out from behind the ear You should see both types of aftermarket cable options available on Massdrop. :)
If you're looking for something that's really balanced, you may want to check these out.
The smaller version pins and connectors can be specified at 0.74mm, 0.75mm or 0.76mm.
To see how much variation exists, here is a decent online reference: https://www.head-fi.org/articles/diy-cable-info-and-resources.14308/
You'll see Massdrop add cable options over the course of 2018. We'd love to make it easier to connect everything.
Do you have any some links to purchase this kind of cables suited for the edc3?
Thank you
