    if possible, squeeze me in after @zerodeefex since we often meet for afternoon tea and can hand off with zero risk of shipping.

    I'd like to be in on the second round, but I live in Canada so no worries if that is a problem. I also might just buy a pair due to HYPE WEEK.

    EDIT: I'm dumb, headphone bar stocks CA so I can go have a listen there once they get a pair in. Pls don't include me.

    I'd like to give them a try, especially if they'll be in LA where I don't mind making the drive for direct handoffs vs. shipping. I'd be trying them off of the PHA3 balanced. I have a a 2.5 to dual 3.5 mm adapter.
