VSonic GR02 and SoundMAGIC E30

We do offer customised laser etching and full colour printing on the side plates of the complete V-Moda series of headphones and the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro for our customers if you are interested to get a pair

Only offer custom plates for our customers only, sorry!

Frankly, the customisations was never a part of our business. It is being out sourced to third parties. Therefore, it is just part of customer service and not product offering

Not at all It is just misunderstanding Had never been stuck up but guess perception counts

Had always sell on knowledge and service. See ourselves as professionals in the trade and not hawkers at pasar malam. You don't go to see a doctor and bargain over his fess or do you

It takes much more than just offering the lowest price to be recognised by manufacturers as their official representative. You can find us listed at ALO, FiiO, iFi official sites as their reseller.

By the way, do see Jaben as healthy competition Professional and good for the trade

If you do understand the economics of business, you will understand why there is such a wide discrepancy.

Basically, USA is still the biggest consumer of electronics in the world with Amazon the biggest retailer of electronics in the world. With the large volume in hand, they get priority on getting new models, much better discount and volume shipping rates.

The costing difference between an USA distributor's and Malaysia distributor's costing may vary up to 40%. On top of it, for Malaysia, headphones attracts 5% duty and 10% sales tax, amplifier 15% duty and 10% sales tax, cables 40% duty and 10% sales tax.

However, a lot of the time, end users here then to compare the pricing ex-USA rather than landed price.

For example, Westone 4R is being listed at USD325 = RM1058.82. This is based on inter-bank rates and not what the credit card will charge you. By the time it reflects on your bill, it will show RM1114.55 instead. Typically, courier charges is around USD50 = RM171.42 (RM162.85 inter-bank). That works out to RM1285.97 before duty and tax. After duty and tax, it will be RM1504.06. Should there be RMA, courier to and fro works out to be RM342.84

Both Jaben and us are offering the Westone 4R at RM1800+

The choice is yours

As mentioned, it is the volume discount at the distributor level that makes the real big difference.

Huh Exempt duty Unless you are a crony to XXXX , otherwise no way

For the case of Singapore, you will have to factor in the cost of business. It is now the fifth most expensive city in the world to live in. Well ahead of all the cities in the USA. In fact, it is more expensive to buy the Shure SE215/SPE in Singapore than Malaysia.
