anyone wearing the bluebuds using the over the ear method? i find the sound better for over the ear, meaning the controls on the right. for over the ear the cable management clips are a damn plus. wireless music plus neat cable management, did not regret buying this

S$259 all in is indeed a good, even amazing price. Interested to know which local shop this is too.

When X1 launched, it was S$339. Remembered people kpkb about the jacked up prices back then. I will be very surprised if X2 launch here deviated from this.

With the possibility of jacked up price, uncertain launch date, and fed up with my wired version, I just bo hiew and ordered on launch day itself. Paid ~S$300 all in, delivered within 1 week. Have been using it for 2+ weeks and happy with it so far.

Not sure where you are looking, it is just USD179.99. Shipping is free to Singapore as it is over USD125. Is this the 1st time you are buying from Amazon?


why not try ordering online at www.jaybirdsport.com?
think marines07 tried that.
it's us$208.01 inc. fedex delivery ie. about S$296.

Yup I did buy from the official store :) When it first launched, Amazon didn't have ready stock so it wasn't an option. But now the Amazon deal looks better as shipping is free, but available colours are limited.


As with either option, the risk is there. If the X2 uplorry for some reason, it will have to be shipped back instead of sending it to a local SG shop. If you can accept this risk and don't want to wait, it makes total sense to order from either Amazon or Jaybird.

hey guys, i bought my x2 on amazon 2 days ago. it caused me 179.99USD which includes free shipping. Note that the exchange rate given on amazon is much higher than VISA international- around 1.50 on amazon. My advice is to pay it in USD as i managed to save ard 7bucks.

Good advice :) As a general rule of thumb, always pay in USD when ordering from Amazon.

Yup there sure is :) Have you set up your shipping address in your settings?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/account/address/view.html?ie=UTF8&ref_=ya_manage_address_book_t1&

Once it is recorded, whenever you view an item, if it is eligible for free shipping there will be a label like 'Free International Shipping to Singapore on orders over $125'

e.g.

For items to qualify for AmazonGlobal, the general criteria is
- Must be shipped and sold by Amazon.com
- Total amt must add up to over $125

Holy crap; I was just about to order this from Amz...did you appeal to the Amz rep?

Why banned content? Built-in battery?
