Frequently asked questions about VAT

What is VAT?

Are import taxes included in the price for international customers?

Do I pay VAT twice if I order from outside the UK?

If I am not from the UK, how much tax should I expect to pay?

What happens if I refuse to pay import taxes when the product arrives to my country?

Why can I not just pay the full amount (including import taxes) to Elise Audio?

Great Value!

The Laiv uDac is a great value r2r dac. Paired with my eversolo DMP A6, it really elevates my listening.

Excellent Headphones

Great sounding and very comfortable. It's easy to loose yourself in the soundscape of whatever you're listening to.
I have a smaller head and at the smallest setting, these just barely fit. Something to keep in mind. Overall, extremely happy with the quality of these cans!

Love it so much

These are the best iems I have ever bought. Amazing bass which is important to me but also very detailed mids and highs. Ive settled on the black filters although I also enjoyed the huge soundstage from the red.

The buying experience from Elise was top notch. I've had much advice from sound jedi over the years who is both very knowledgeable but also a really good guy.

Op amp

Super swift shipping (arrived next day) installed and it worked. Sounds good as reviews state.

Staccato OSH-DHb OpAmp

Nice modification of original

A notable bass improvement over original PhoenixCall for common audiophile preferences (I do like both tunings, but original is definitely more "niche" and with a more subtle bass).

Hiby R3ii

Very impressed with sound quality of this little player. Perfect size / weight for taking to Gym. Sounds excellent with Yanyin Canon ii. Another great buy from Elise audio.
