May I ask how much does he charge for the conversion? Besides fitting the TH-X00 earcups fitted with mini XLR connectors, are you converting the existing cables as well or got entirely new cables terminated for balanced XLR connection (I assume)?

Nevermind. Thanks anyway. I was tempted to jump on the bandwagon but the non-interchangeable cables held me back. Never came across my mind to have the cups replaced with mini XLRs. That would have probably made me poorer.

Wah. I wish I had expensive cables lying around...

I should have elaborated further and mentioned that because I did not think of having the cups modified to mini XLRs, that saved me from getting the TH-X00. If I had discovered about the possibility of changing to mini XLRs, I would have succumb to the temptation and would definitely have made me poorer. No thanks to the exchange rates.

I know. On the hindsight, at that point of time you think the decision "saved" you from buying only to revisit it later and buy it at a higher price or when the exchange rates suck.

Headphones like the HD800/HD800s should not have to do anything right since their cables are removable anyways...

Hehehe is that the reason why you always buy two? 1st and 2nd person to get.

If delivered by DHL sure kena...

The higher frequencies more piercing than HD800? Is the TH-X00 naturally like that? I read they are recessed in the mids and more bass heavy.

Not exactly 21%. It's 21.9% (1.15 x 1.06) because it's compounded. Also, it's 21.9% on top of CIF (Cost Insurance Freight). They'll add DHL freight cost and for insurance cost, they'll estimate as 1% of the price if it's not mentioned.

Then another RM 50 or so goes into DHL's pocket for contacting you and putting it all nicely for you to pay.

Yup, it's all about synergy.

Yes, DHL will call you first and tell you how much you have to pay and if you agree to it. They will even email you the necessary info and how to bank money into their account or COD.
