Thanks!   Well said, but how much is a 'few bucks'. I mean, I hate when people don't tell you shipping cost- that's why I didn't order. Plus, are there duties too?

I tried to go the Tenso route but it was a little too confusing. Especially with the identity verification stuff.   I got my quote from WRE but I'm not sure I did it right. The grand total was $50 USD + an unknown amount of duties and shipping to Canada (any info on this?).   At this price...

  Thanks!   Forgive me for this, but how do I work White Rabbit? I see Amazon with them at 3509 Yen but WR's is 4980 Yen.

Thanks! Is there a difference from different vendors? 

Hi! Looking to buy these- I'm trying to dig into this thread but I just can't. There's so much!   I see a ton of posts on 'different' pairs from different places. Are the Amazon ones safe? I'd like to order them from there if possible. I'd use Tenso too, I'm assuming! Also I'd prefer the...

Oh, thanks! The amazon.ca one didn't say it aside from deep in the description!

Thanks a ton I will look a little deeper.   Maybe I am a little confused- but you mention the SBZ as an alternative to the ModMic... are you talking about SBZ and one of the $5 mics?

  Ahh... when I was first picking things out I was told I wouldn't ever need a soundcard with the Vali/Modi. Damn! =)   I actually have the ASUS Maximus VI Hero. I have read that the sound is much better on this than other boards, perhaps it's good enough for voice?

I have a Vali/Modi with HD650s, onboard sound aside from that.

I'm on my PC! I should have said that, I guess =)

Thanks for the info. Is the ModMic that much better in quality/etc? I'm reading the reviews on this thing and it seems there are so many DoA/etc problems... It kind of scares me.   Do I have any non clip-on options? Or are those really the only good quality for voice/etc for games when you...

Thanks! I have a really hard time loading the main page with my internet... it just doesn't load since my net is so bad lol.   I did a search and found these on Amazon.ca:  ...

Hi!   Any recommendations for an external microphone to attach to my HD650s? I understand that ModMic seems to be the best but the price will total to $70~ or so after all is said and done- especially since I'm in Canada.   I'm looking for something that has a pretty good sound for a low...

Hah! Local University? I don't even have a local corner store. If it's as easy as people say I'll give it a shot later if I can find some tools to open it up =)

My Vali has extreme ringing. I'm talking if I cough or move the cord or anything it will ring. They have approved what I assume is an RMA for me, but shipping is pretty expensive. They told me I could try doing the push-down things people have found as a solution first.   My problem is, I have...
