Linsoul's Announcement on Shenzhen Covid-19 Policy Updates

[DrWilken]

I just got tracking info so something is happening…

Ships via YunExpress.

[ttorbic]

That sucks. Guess I just have to listen to my Oxygen until then

[cal_lando]

Just got my DHL confirmation it was picked up. Should be here next Tuesday!

[givemebeer]

looks like mine are scheduled for delivery on the 22nd

[ttorbic]

Mine hasn’t moved at all, but I didn’t pay for express shipping

[Ohmboy]

When you’ve paid for express shipping…

[pylaczynski]

My package with Olina also has no updates since 7th. In the meantime LBBS ordered on Shopee on 9th is already at my hands (first impressions: love it’s sound, but comfort is tricky as hell). Those Chinese shipping is crazy unpredictable.
No hard feelings though as it could go in either way

I agree, and it isn’t just shipping issues in China -

The longest shipping time I have had for an IEM was the Shuoer S12. It sat off the coast waiting to be unloaded at the port of LA, for over a week in Jan., because there weren’t enough healthy people to unload the boats at the time, only to sit in a USPS facility in Compton for over another week ( about 55 miles from my house ). I am guessing my S12 was within 100 miles of my house for over two weeks, and it was not Shuoer’s fault.

generally linsoul says if it’ll take longer than a couple days to ship “this is a preorder item estimated shipping 3-5 days etc”

Olina arrived today, first impressions are great! Thank god I waited for this, really is a great complement to the Mele for those mids to treble frequencies. Listening to Hiroyuki Sawano tracks is such a godsend on this set, especially those female vocals / orchestral tracks.

Unboxing? Some minor QC cosmetic issue on the gel face though (scratches), but it’s okay for the price. As for the box, I wished it could’ve included a pulltab so that the box sleeve could come off easily without almost tearing it.

This is a clear winner for me and I can’t help but compare it to my Hzsound Heart Mirror set for certain semblances in being bright and crisp.

Thank you Chris for bringing this product to life as I’ve always wanted to try the Oxygen but was worried about the fit and cost.

Thank you forthe trust bro.
Did you get a lyrics card?

[iamgablo]

Wasn’t able to, as I ordered this only last Feb 11 in DD Audio Lazada. Always pleased with their fast shipping to the Philippines using Lazada as it only takes a week.

I now have my new daily driver

[hawaiibadboy]

Got it.
Thanks for the trust and this was meant as a compliment to the Mele and what it did less than ideal is what Olina does very well at.
I appreciate you taking the time to post and share your thoughts

Mahalo’s for your Kokua

[andjayik]

How is the bass???

[hawaiibadboy]

1 Day delivery…how

[Nyanmin]

The guy has it’s very own teleporter traveled to 4 dimensions in a couple of minutes to get Olina plus he reviewed it within the day.
Edit: or maybe his house is just besides linsoul

[HariramV]

Finally Olina is moving.

Congratz on your set! Yes, I think it replays Sawano very well and had some punch to it, which seems needed for. Good choice!

[ttorbic]

Congrats! Will you post more impressions later on?
Also, Michael Bruce said that minor scratches can be buffed out. If you’re on Head-fi you could DM him to ask how?
