How are you taking these pictures with the blank or white background?
What music app are you using Jude?

roBernd 7/19/12 at 9:16am

... well basically. white background with no sharp edge (bend paper or special material), proper lighting, ... , photoshop for minor corrections, done!

bowei006, it's just white muslin with a few big lights, and a couple of flashes (that I actually bounce off the white fronts of the two front-facing soft-boxed lights). I'm putting together a better setup now. Of course, a nice camera and nice lenses don't hurt.

Is the cable dual 3.5mm stereo or mono mini plugs?
On first glance I wasn't sure if I liked the headphone, but the closeups show it's mighty sexy. Wonder how the final ones will stack up to the best...

jude 7/19/12 at 12:25pm

@scootermafia, they are dual mono mini plugs.

The box looks seriously like the beats studio's

servantsaber 7/24/12 at 7:26pm

but way better :p

schaaf 7/27/12 at 8:58am

What's the headphone stand the HD800's are on?

purk 7/27/12 at 9:10am

The *frame* looks seriously like the beats studio. :)

Spaz115 7/27/12 at 9:11am

Ye, the metal frame definitely looks a lot better IRL. pretty good looking IMO

HybridCore 7/27/12 at 10:02am

Looks nice, although I'm not a fan of the gloss on the wood, even though it's only a little. It's a minimalist thing...

jude 7/27/12 at 10:27am

@schaaf, that's an Astro Gaming headphone stand. Check their website, as I'm not sure if they're still making it or not.

How comfortable are they compared to the AH D7000s?

EddieE 7/27/12 at 11:23am

So, so ugly, especially compared to how pretty the old range were. Hope they sound better than they look!

Chefano 7/27/12 at 12:43pm

Thats ugly IMO.
Looks like an upgraded Dr. Dre Beats. Lets hope it sounds better than the 7000

JIGF 7/27/12 at 2:01pm

Oh my, these look insanely gorgeous!
I wonder how the sound compared to an LCD-2

extrabigmehdi 7/27/12 at 2:05pm

Why did they did they need to create a box exactly like for the monster beats studio ?
They should replace the packaging asap, it's an obvious allusion, and a negative one.
