Might as well get them, no one has mentioned discomfort.   Can anyone else vouch for gaming performance with the M3's?

Uh, not entirely sure I'd be comfortable with that.. I'll try youtubing them, perhaps someone can show how they fit.

"The design of the M3 is quite different, to be honest there maybe some who will not enjoy how the M3 fit in their ears and for some it may take getting used to" Are those back left/right rectangle like areas removeable? They seem as though they'd be annoying, from the images.

Oh, thanks, will check them out.   I guess I could also add HiFiMan RE0, Shure SE102 & Vsonic R02Pro2 to the list, if anyone's had experience with these?

I've never heard of either of these brands, would you know of any decent online retailer that ships to Australia? Perferably using a paypal checkout. I've got very limited sources that I know of. Thanks for the suggestions.   Edit: One of the best Australian audiophile retailers now...

I've been through the range of headphones I can buy for PC use, which isn't a large range since I'm limited on buying sources. So I'm pretty much limiting this thread to just these pairs of earphones: *HiFiMan RE0 *Shure SE102 *Vsonic R02Pro2 *Klipsch Image S4 I listen to pretty much...

Is it possible to use an inline volume controller from the headphone amplifier jack on the ST and have the headphones connected to the other end of the controller? If so, does the inline volume controller effect any quality between the ST and the headphones? And, if it does, which inline...

That's what I thought, taiyoyuden, I've been using my realtek HD audio for the last month or so. Just preparing my cash and PC ready for when I can buy the new card.

Awesome work once again Robscix, keep it up

Yes, this is just tiresome searching for anything new on it. Now, I must try and get some good quality audio files. I don't listen to CD's, I usually just download music off videos such as those on youtube, etc. Seems like it'll be worth buying some discs soon to make some good use of my...

Thank you, Robscix.

I'm Aussie, too, and I doubt we'd be getting it anytime before december or even next year.
