Still havenāt heard back from Linsoul on their return policy if the item is bought off Amazon. Again, it does say on their Amazon store page that they follow Amazonās return guidelines, but who knows if thatās 100% true or not. Does anyone know?
And yes, please give us initial impressions!
I got an answer from Linsoul, but I asked about Amazon DE. But honestly I couldnāt understand a word lol. I could post it here if someone is interested. Might ask them again though.
Lol also gotta let them burn in as well, callin in tomorrow

So the Drop release of these was put back on pre-order for the nest 3 days. Not sure why
It is not German, just Iām not familiar with some stuff. So thatās what they answered for buying from Amazon:
ā1. GL2000 is shipped from China, if you want to return it, you should send directly to China.
2. The VAT is charged by your local customs as revenue, citizen has duty to pay VAT for the imported product. Because DHL is commercial express, enough we low declearance, there is still possible that they will ask you to provide the prove of payment.
3.When it pass the 1 year warranty, we will not provide more service of the product, please understand. And please notice that in the return case, Amazon allows seller to charge the restocking fee (20%) based on the product condition.
4. We are seller sell product on Amazon.de platform. Please notice the fulfillment, when it is Amazon, it is sent from our FBA inventory of Germany warehouse and cover Amazon 30 days warranty. When it is seller, it is sent from China and can only return to China with no 30 days Amazon return and replacement warranty.ā
So I didnāt understand the last 2 points very well. Point 2 was about paying VAT when I return in warranty period, so I guess we canāt avoid that. And also, after the 1 year warranty expires we basically canāt repair the cans anywhere anymore?
If your from Europe and wanāt to order from Amazon DE take this in consideration.
Sooo, at first I orderd them from Dropā¦ But then I was like naah it takes to long and VAT for sure, so I orderd them direcly from Linsoulā¦ then Amazon DE came up and I was like cool mabey no VAT so I cancelled my order by Linsoul en orderd them from Amazon DE 
now waiting on the refund from Drop and Linsoul 
Then I got this message from Linsoul via Amazon:
Besides, we have some kind reminder for you.
Please notice that shipment will arranged at the end of this month by order time turns.
GL2000 is shipped from China, as the price is VAT exclusive.
Concerning the weight and size, there is only the commercial express DHL available to ship to countries other than German and Itlay, so when ship to Netherlands, (20%) VAT needs to be taken into consideration, Please understand.
Wait what? But why is the Amazon DE price 20% higher then? If I have to pay VAT on top of that Iām outā¦
It is not. I see 525 eur on amazon for double sided and 639 usd on linsoul which is roughly the same in EUR.
With amazon it all depends on if it is fulfilled by amazon or not. If yes it is shipped form eu amazon fulfillment center and you can return it back within month no questions asked and it includes vat.
If it says shipped from china/linsoul I see no point of getting it through amazon.
Most expensive gear Linsoul sell on amazon are not fulfilled by amazon.
They answered about the VAT thing, I think Iām fine:
The price of GL2000 is VAT exclusive, but ship to German, but we can use UBI to help customer avoid the VAT by low declearance.
In a word, for German and Italy, the price is final price.
I notice the destination of your order is German, please do not worry, the price is final price.
Pad swapping from stock, noticeably warmer on the ears, and noticeably wider sounding, stock leather are closed in right in front, these really give the soundstage width. You can see the inner felt ring Resolve mentioned although it doesnāt just fall out, itās recessed in the cup. -16 db on Monoprice desktop THX dac /amp, running balanced. Pretty much same volume as the Clears running balanced with same cable. Takes to EQ well as a check, listening with it off but whoa adding 5db at 110 oof and 1 db at 7k ooof

Can the low end slam? Thatās my big āgotta knowā question. Planars usually struggle with that, in my experience.
Also cool that you have the same monoprice unit as me, nice to be getting impressions on one the setups I will be running them on.
