    Finally received from @I_want_all_the_tacos.

    Probably took this long due to customs deciding how much import tax they want to hit me with. In this case, it was 69 CAD.

    Ah well, the cost of being the first Canadian in an US loaner tour.

    @luximal glad it finally made it! I saw on the tracking it was sitting at customs for a while. I really didn't know how to declare value on it. I wanted to use a lower value to lower import costs for you but because this tour requires we use $400 USD insurance, I figured it would look really suspicious if the insured value was higher than the declared value. And I'm guessing that would get really messy in the case the package actually got lost and a claim had to be made. But yeah, hopefully you find your time with Cascade worth the cost, it really is a great headphone and I'll be posting up my impressions soon.

    No worries! Better to just pay the import cost than run the risk of it being lost or damaged.

    Listened to it for an hour and my first impression of it is that it's about as ideal as a closed V shaped portable headphone would get.

    Fun punchy bass, with only a bit of thud and mud, recessed mids but present vocals.

    But what does impress me is that the mids still sounded pretty lively and clear despite being overtaken by the bass a bit and the treble is quite clean, despite lacking openness. I'll probably write a full review as well later down the road.

    Just wanted to update my location - I'm in Colorado now.

    If my standing in the list needs to be rescheduled that's fine. Can't wait!

    @bxh shipped the headphones out on 7/3 from Canada, so it's taken a bit to reach CA. Headphones were hanging out at the Chicago post office for a few days for some strange reason. The package is finally out for delivery today.

    I'll update the thread once I have the headphones in hand.

    I have a package coming, and one heading to Savannah Georgia (from Canada.) Both have taken forever, and got caught up in customs. Real weird.
