I wonder if the restocking fee is to cover shipping costs, but the amazon store has a local location that amazon ships back to so no need to ship overseas. still weird tho
@51:30 - Andrew with Headphones.com gives his impressions but is not the official reviewā¦ Lasts about 6ish minutes.

I figured it out. Their 1 year warranty isnāt included if you buy it off Amazon. So I guess since thereās no warranty, it cancels out the lack of the 35% restock fee I guess?
interesting it sounds like he doesnt know which one he had the double or single. it would be really interesting if he was using the single which would prove Z and bad guy correct. but maybe it was the double its easy to look and tell

Iāve seen other people mention it in this topic, but Taobao is a really good option. I got mine for $540. The process is as fallows:
- Use the google translate app with your phone camera or the automatic translations from google chrome.
- create an account using your phone number
- click link https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.16.69c242bbJtkoQW&id=630958152931&ns=1&abbucket=20#detail
- select double magnet option and international shipping
- check out and hope your card doesnāt decline (mine have to contact your bank)
- download the aliwangwang app. Use Taobao login.
- the seller will contact you with how to pay for shipping. You will have to pay separately from the headphone.
- Wait!
Hope this helps for anyone going this route. Took me a minute to figure out how to message the seller.

I admit I am curious about these. Also, as an old head who has never heard them, I can recommend:
just get them. They will make up for any rejection you ever had from the pretty girl in high school, they erase that time you were caught doing something you didnāt want to be seen but weāre, they will reassure you that all past moral deficits are forgiven.
JK. Of course .
If you look closely on Amzon, the seller is Linsoul NOT Amazon. So, full price + $25 shipping fee + 35% restocking fee. OOPS!
Yes, but if you look at their store page on Amazon - they state that they follow Amazonās return policy and their A to Z guarantee. I sent Linsoul an email just in case before I pull the trigger. Donāt want any surprises, lol.
Thereās a fair chance I might return them, so I donāt want to get hit with that restocking fee. Iād be shocked if they end up outperforming my Fostex TH900ās.
The benefit of the JDS Element 2 is that it pairs with hard to amp headphones already like the TH 909 / 900 so the chances of it pairing well are high at least. Weāll have to wait and see

No freakinā wayā¦ he actually says absolutely the opposite about the GL2000. Iām curious how is this even possible if it isnāt actually the single-sided version? What he described is not really a matter of taste either.
If itās the same piece what Cronicle had, than its the single sided. Andrew should have looked at the Linsoul product page, that it where obvious to him. The key question is: how much different the versions are? We have to wait till more reviews analyze that.

When he says there is no way to tell the difference when they clearly look different gives me pause. Ive never heard a Sundara but with BGGAR comparing to a Arya and Z going nuts, Iām just gonna wait till tomorrow and listen for myself, in the end thatās all that matters.

Found a good first impression of these. Canāt wait to get mine.
(Scroll down to bottom half of page)
In for a pair from Drop. Now the waiting begins.
Holy cow! I almost bought from Amazon UKā¦ Iām from EU and, starting this year, I have to pay customs taxesā¦ Which is like 1 import fee on top of another one lol

Linsoul removed the single magnetic version from the website.
interesting. I wonder if that means they sold out on it and are just not reordering more of that model
Wtf guys, today I can see the double magnetic version in Amazon DE, with similar to the Drop price that is on sale. Dammit, I just pulled the trigger. Oh wellā¦
