Whoops.
 
Yeah, I take 27 down.  I thought you lived farther south, closer to actual Cincy?
 
Yeah, the U7 looked nice, but it's inferior to the U3 in terms of headphone-surround capabilites.  Dat 2 channel bottleneck.  Too bad.

 
Lived in Springdale till April, now I'm just outside of the Northgate area. 
 
It's surprising that they'd limit the headphone output on the U7. Oh well. I don't have any optical DACs at the moment and it'll be a few months before I do, otherwise I'd lend one to you for a try. I'm pretty much exclusively USB at this point.

That's why you buy everything on Amazon or Best Buy, Chico!

Good point. 
 
You would know all about returning things to Amazon, wouldn't you.

Oh nice.  Yeah, I go by Northgate/Colerain all the time.

Okay, tired of waiting for my K612... sooo... I have a surprise on the way (well, not really a surprise if you know me and my interests).
 
Too bad Amazon is out of stock on BoomPros...

Didn't you own these already? You should be saving up for some planar goodness!

Change, did you notice that Amazon is now adding sales tax in Florida? There goes my incentive to shop there vs just going to Best Buy...

I used to own the HP100, which was an AMAZING closed headphone when I had it. These are the open counterparts, the HP200, which aren't sold in the US... and at $50 off, too. I've had my eyes on these for over a year... had to jump on em... 
 
Maybe I'll sell all my headphones one day and fund a TH900!

And yea, but only on some items. I'm guessing their Florida warehouse is limited, at the moment. This order didn't have sales tax on it...

Oh, and you're buying a 3rd party seller product which is probably why you didn't get taxed.

I couldve sworn I edited. Ugh stupid phone.

Cool, let me know how it stacks up to the 612.

 
Sure will, but it will all depend on how they sound is with my 1540 pads on em. I won't be keeping them if I have to use the stock pleathers. I'm expecting the changes, however, to be minimal (alcantaras give a similar sonic effect as cheap pleather).
 
I'll be keeping both, and using these as my primary gaming cans since their way more portable than the K612...

Ah, that's probably why...

The Beyerdynamic MMX300 has a ton more bass than the PC360, but not the ear drum bashing bass of the DT990. I actually use my MMX300s for music too and to me they sound great. They seem to do everything just right.

Also, they are a closed headphone but really dont sound a whole lot different than any open headphone Ive tried for gaming or music.

Plus, it has the best mic Ive ever see/heard on a headset.

Hey Chico, how about approaching Schiit for virtual surround device?

I approached them with an amp/dac all in one. It's about time they curb their distaste for them and prove themselves wrong by making one that they would be proud of.
