The same thing happened to me a year ago when I bought mine.  I was looking at them for a few months and then when I decided to buy they were suddenly $150.  I waited a couple of weeks and they went down again.   No idea why this happens, but it has been remarked upon here in the past.  Same...

I'd say that if you're going to order then do the EMS shipping.  By all accounts this is a great PMP.  Well, by almost all accounts.  I don't regret ordering, especially if it as good as everyone says.   I'm just disappointed in the delays.  My contact with their CS was mostly prompt, if a...

Uh, yeah.  Back on the 16th of December I got a mail message:   Date Ordered: Friday 17 September, 2010 The comments for your order are: Item mailed out. Tracking below via http://www.hongkongpost.com - Please allow upto 5 working days for tracking to update on HKP. Tracking...

I thought about doing that too, the picture.  :)   Yes, that's correct.

7.25 inches from outer ear to outer ear.  5.5 inches from the top of the headband down.  3.5 inches from one side of the ear cup to the other while laying flat.    And then another 96 square inches for the mile and a half of cable.

I think you can only buy directly from them.  I did so and had a very positive experience.  Both the delivery and the responses to any of my questions have been prompt. I like them as a company.

Just an update.  The Dremel worked perfectly if my goal had been to shoot tiny pieces of bar solder about at very high speeds.  Unfortunately, that wasn't what I was after.  But just for future reference, in case anyone is looking to do that, it works exceptionally well.  If you'd like to know...

Is that how this is done, with a hacksaw?  Or is there some better way?  Everything I read says keep your solder pot filled to the rim.  I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do that with hacksaw size pieces.  I've got one of those little Hexacon mini-pots.   Any help would truly be appreciated. ...

The Schiit Asgard worked out well for me and my 650s.

You don't have to use a screw-on if you don't want to, you know?  You can just use a standard adapter.  That said, I was in J.B. Saunders last week and saw some of the screw-ons for a couple of bucks, I think.  Find an electronics supply store near you.  Because ten bucks is ten bucks, eh?  ...

Woo!

Quote: I'd love to find that price.  Everything I see is right at $399 or so.  Except for the refurb guy on Amazon for $179.    Not sure I can buy something that's been in another persons ears.  It's a little like buying used underwear, I would think.
