I couldn't find in your website any information about warranty beyond the 15 day satisfaction guarantee. I know it's a modded product, but I was wondering if there was any kind of warranty for part/labor, if I happen to get faulty piece. I know that you have a very strict quality control but even so problem may happen, and since I'm by no means a modder or anything, I would feel a bit unsettling to buy something without any kind of assistance.

 

I don't realy mind to have to pay to have them fixed in the case of necessity, but I would like to know if there is any oficial costumer service for your products. I don't live in the US, so things like that are a bit of a concearn to me when I have to buy something from smaller manufacturers.

 

I was looking for a closed headphone to replace my k550 that became a present for my dad, and let's say that this topic caught my attention. I never heard any planar magnetic headphone, but I read they are usualy not easy to drive but, as far as I could read here and in your website something like an asgard or a leckerton UHA-6S mkii would be enough to drive them decently, right?

 

Thanks in advance

The headphones include both the stock 10' 1/4" jack cable and a 6' 1/8" cable.

I'd pick it up if I had about $10 more dollars and black Friday wasn't next week... :/

I'm listening to 256kb mp3s from iTunes on a MacBook Pro through a HeadRoom Total Air Head on high gain. What I notice most of all is what I'd call a veiled sound (which varies from recording to recording, but never quite disappears even when the MD's are almost gorgeously transparent). I also notice the music sounding distant, especially in the mid-range and vocals now and again. What strikes me most is that the distance and veiled sense reduce (and sometimes almost disappear) as I turn up the volume. The problem is that I often need to crank up the volume to push past some of the problems. Does anyone else have this type of experience with these headphones? Do you tend to feel that these headphones have a tendency to be veiled and/or distant or more likely do I have a deficiency in my chain driving the headphone?
