Ok, here it is my review from the Beats Solo2 wireless. (please have mercy, english is not my native language and pics are from phone. Just click them to open bigger pics. it will take some time to load and maybe you have to zoom the site)

i talked a while with nancy from hutmtech. i had some concerns regarding the customs, but they said, they dealt a lot with buyers from germany. so i gave it a try. unfortunately they didn't warned me that i have so much customs (at my doorstep to the DHL Guy). it was 36€ and if they had wrote a lesser value on the package, i could have been less... but never mind....

The Shipment was there after 4 Days.


In this package there was another box heavily wrapped with parcel tape.



In it was a fake box of headphones, which fitted perfectly the actual box. (also in wrapped foil). And then---- There was the box!

In the last pic there is the only flaw i can see... It says Glossy Black although i ordered matte black...

As you can see the inside is like gen. The box inside looks a little bit "worn" like you can see in the first pic. Don't know if this issue appears at the gen, too...

In the Beats case was the headphone itself. Wrapped in plastic again...


It looks and feels very good. Its made of plastic and metal. Feels like gen. Sound is good, never tried the gen ones, but faaaar better than any headphone i used before. But as i mentioned before, the volume up button (the "ring" around the b on one side of the headphone) will stuck if i press it... We have to see if it leads to any issue...

Thanks for your review, I found it very helpful. Nancy actually asked me if I was okay with paying extra for customs and told me the package would be marked with a low value. What value was written on your package?

Will let you know what my Customs/Duty charges will be next week when mine stuff shows up. I know that Nancy put a declared value of $90 for the package.
It has 3 headphones in it (Studio Wireless, and 2 sets of Powerbeats 2.0 Wireless)

DHL is the same everywhere. Always making you pay for customs.

I had package values come in with 25 dollars and they made me pay 35€ customs. 15 euros handling cost and other stuff plus local vat and shit.

DHL always screw people with customs even here in Spain where you literally never pay custom

I'll post an update as well when my headphones arrive. I'd imagine I'll receive them this weekend.

Yup, I agree. One time I bought a rep watch from InTime - I paid like $50 in customs at the door to save approx. 3 days of transit time compared to EMS with zero customs costs. Forget DHL.

British customs and DHL are poor as well.

Ordered a pair of Studio wireless and powerbeats which were marked up as $90 candy headphones and got stung by customs for £29!

Told them to use EMS next time as never been hit for duty with them....but they charge $10 extra fo that, still a big saving if you have no duty to pay.

And no sticking on my volume button on the studios.

If so, that's unfortunate. Let is know how it goes. I've ordered several things with DHL shipping the last days. Hopefully I won't end up paying more to DHL than for the items.
