kopidilo Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) MO is closed. See this post for updates. For easy ref, I've highlighted updates in this original first post in BLUE Hi friends, I am helping/ volunteering to coordinate a group buy pre-order for this upcoming exciting headphone product to help interested bros to save cost and enjoy local warranty. This is THE SURROUND/ ATMOS HEADPHONE to look out for movies. Supports ATMOS/ DTSX and the surround sound field is not virtual but real directional. The JVC XP-EXT1 uses JVC's proprietary EXOFIELD out-of-head localization sound field processing technology to allow headphone users to experience the full effect of multi-channel sound sources, including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®. The best thing is it doesn't need to connect to PC to work and it can connect to your HT system via HDMI/ optical. I managed to link up with a local supplier, who prefer to be anonymous until payment is made. PRODUCT INFO & SPECS https://www.us.jvc.com/headphones/home_theater_solutions/xp_ext1/ https://www.jvckenwood.com/en/technology/exofield/acoustic-characteristics.html https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jvc-personal-home-theater-system-delivers-listener-tailored-multi-channel-sound-via-headphones-300981421.html EXPECTED RELEASE DATE OF PRODUCT: July/ Aug 2020 USUAL RETAIL PRICE Normal expected retail price / MSRP: Euros$1,000 + GST/tax + shipping = apprx SGD$1,650-$1,750. Unlikely with warranty if u ship in from overseas GROUP BUY PRE-ORDER PRICE/DEAL: MO end date: 1 June 2020 11pm Eventual price depends on how many people we have. Stock might be limited. Priority given to those who signed up first in event of limited stock and to much demand. 1) Quantity 3-6 pieces - S$1498.00 , includes free delivery to doorstep within Singapore.

PAYMENT DETAILS: - 20% deposit per set for your order to be placed - Vendor will refund 100% of the 20% deposit if they are unable to secure any stock by Sep 2020 - Full payment upon delivery - Payments made directly to vendor PROJECTED TIMELINE: - 1 Jun - confirm participants for the MO [done] - 2 Jun - place order with vendor [done] - 5 Jun - vendor checks with JVC on additional stock required, and place order with JVC.

The vendor just updated that JVC can't give them a definite date when SG would receive the stocks, even though many online shops are beginning to get theirs. To be fair to everyone, if anyone of us wish to go ahead to get it from online stores e.g. Amazon Japan, please do go ahead. But we do hope you can stay for the MO so that the minimum qty to get the special price tier is still there. And there's local warranty. If anyone has any other supplier who can get local stock and offer a similar/better price, and have local warranty, please let me know. - 15 Nov - Quick Update.

kopidilo Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 They say they chase liao and SG vendors experience the same thing too. I will continue to chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopidilo Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Good news. Users review in jap seems very positive. And compare them to the Sony hw700ds which was very useful as a benchmark https://www.biccamera.com/bc/item/8248490/ Seems like quite positive. They say better than hw700ds. But the only gripe by everyone so far is the price point. Well it's much cheaper than the smyth! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly it is taking too long and now this dealer cannot even guarantee that it will get stock from JVC. To me, it only shows how weak our market is. I hope others stay on for as long as you can...But I'm out for now. Sorry. UPDATED LIST 1. Sevenz - 1 set - 9677-nine-four-9-4 2.

kopidilo Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Fully understand. Feel free to go ahead as that is only fair to you if you want to unit sooner. I'll really hope they will get a date soon as I'm also holding out for the warranty even though I was tempted to get from Amazon Japan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
