    At this rate, I'm not surprised! The 4,000 Pono quality issue brought up on the Pono forums seems to be indicated towards the Black/Yellow Ponos. I'm already preparing to wait at least that long for my PJ Pono.

    Just got my PJP. I'm charging it now so haven't heard it yet but wow the presentation is awesome. Obviously the most important thing is how it performs but I have to say that I'm very, very impressed with the packaging and leather case. Very high quality.

    Oh, and another cool thing is that the UPS label doesn't have my name on it at all. It's simply addressed to "Pearl Jam" since that's my Kickstarter name. Thought that was kind of funny.

    I bet the UPS driver was bummmed. Thought he might meet Pearl Jam.

    Unless you are a member of Pearl Jam? :-?

    No, it's awesome. I just feel guilty. I'm pretty broke right now and the thing is haunting me.

    No, it's awesome. I just feel guilty. I'm pretty broke right now and the thing is haunting me. I can hear it's heart beating from inside the box like some reimagined, much less interesting Edgar Allan Poe story.

    Does the heart beat have a fuller, high quality sound?

    It finally arrived, a day late and some coercing on my part to get UPS to NOT deliver to an empty home so that I can pick it up at their depot. I have to say, UPS is a very inefficient logistics company, I have never had so many different responses from different people in the same company.

    That said, number 6 of 495 is finally in my hands (after $70.43 in duty) and I hope to test it out soon once it's charged. Good luck to those who haven't received theirs yet and hopefully no one will have the same issues as I did.

    One question, was the actual Pono box sealed for anyone? These customs guys here in Toronto opened my box and I want to make sure nothing is missing. It looks like everything is there.

    Was there supposed to be a certificate of authentication signed by Neil Young?

    Haha, yes, with the right headphones of course

    I've listened to the Pono now for a couple of days and must say I'm very impressed! I think it sounds awesome! Having said that, I'm certainly no audiophile and for the last 5-6 years I have been listening, almost exclusively, to MP3:s either from Spotify or from ripped CD:s, so the leap to the Pono is enormous. It is almost like listening to Vs. for the first time again. When I got my Pono I also purchased a pair of Sennheiser Momentums and maybe they are contributing at least as much as the Pono itself. What the Pono has done for me is that it has given me the urge to sit down and just listen to an album from front to end and not do anything else. In that sense it is a blessing! For people that's already doing that I'm not sure the Pono is revolutionary, but it is to me!

    Question for those who are knowledgeable about ear phones...

    I only know / have tried Bose. Can you please compare the ones most speak of in this thread to Bose. Anyone? Many thanks!

    Head phones are a very personal thing. Go to some high end audio stores and that as many as you can. I ended up choosing Grado head phones and am very happy with me decision.
