I noticed the red and purple versions have updated +/- labels ("Pressure" instead of "Vibration"). Just wondering if silver has been updated, too?

Yes, the silver version that I have is updated. There is no vibration just pressure.

No, the sillier one I have , has labeled "vibration " but the function is to change te pressure. Has nothing to do with vibration, idk why it says that.

I think this version is newer on but you should also ask others. Sorry wish I knew for sure.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

I think a new version will have the color screen, but what is currently being sold is probably the monochrome display. If you want the color display, I would wait a while and try to confirm with the seller that they are selling the color version. Sangean has the habit of making changes like this without changing the model number, making it difficult to be certain which version you're purchasing on-line.

Yes, the manufacturer has updated the item in several ways. Please veiw the manufacturers website for a detailed description of all the updates.

Mine came as fluorescent purple. The last ones were battleship grey and super shiny.

The product I received from Amazon prime has the new pink & black label. I suppose the photo hasn't been updated.

Could be just the color, but I think there's more to it like the black dampens some vibrations then the silver. I still have the silver ones.

The one I have just colors in blue. I don't know if they have a new version though

Looks like they discontinued 1R or they are hiding it from the website. . The new dark appears to be striped or split.. the old one is not.

I think the blue one was the old one and the silver one is the newer one. Anyway, both didn't work for me :(.

No, they are not the same as the "Gold", these are the old versions, though I don't feel any difference after I used both.

Bought the black one from folica.com about 12 years ago. It lasted for 11 years. Last year, I bought the purple one from Amazon and I do believe there is a difference. I don't know if it's the manufacturer going cheap over the years or if the purple one is actually cheaper. For the most part, the purple one feels substantially lighter. I think the black one was more solid and the purple feels like plastic pieces attached to the base. I also don't think that the purple one gets as hot or straightens as well as the black one. Two small pieces (black buttons on the side) have also fell off of the purple one after very limited use. Very disappointed in my new flat iron.

No, this was the second updated version, though I think it was only software. I asked the same question myself, and eventually found the answer. Also, some of the products simply do not list the "B" in their description, but in fact if you look at the serial number etc. that is what you see.

I think mine came with the black nickel keys. It did not specify at the time of my order, and was from Taylor Music. I believe the black nickel model has been discontinued due to problems with the plating flaking off. The listing specifically says silver now, so I'd assume that's what you'd get.

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

Looks like the link is totally messed up by Amazon. I like the EXP26s. Not as smooth as some coated strings, but have seemed to last a little longer than the Elixirs I had before. Hopefully Amazon corrects it.
