I just got Xcapes V2's.  I don't have any experience with the v1's or any other IEM's so I can't really review or compare.    But the little clamshell case it comes with is very awesome!!! Though it does look a little like my girlfriend's compact for her makeup   PS:  I ordered from...

Awesome, thanks Ethan.  I just got my processing confirmation, I am excited!  I've been using the iphone buds for weeks now.

Just a heads up-   I emailed Bugden audio. I had placed an order for them a few days ago, and was trying to cancel so I could get the version 2's.  They emailed me back, the shipment they have coming in is the version 2.    Edit: And they charge $79.99

Thanks for the heads up..I just ordered the old version a few hours ago, so once I saw this thread I canceled my order. 

I'm mostly using my 595's with the Astro mixamp, but I have used the AD700's as well.  The Ad700's do not fit my head at all, they kept sliding off my ears and I could never get a good seal.  My friend didn't have that issue, though he has a larger head than me. 

Junebug, let me know what you think after you try the e7/e9 combo!  I am thinking about getting that combo

Nice video!  I was never a fan of the A40 headset.  I haven't tried the 2011's- seems like all that is changed is the earpads and mic, so I don't really expect the sound to be much better.  I guess sound quality matters alot less when playing games compared to music, but with its $200 price tag...

I find if I munch on potato chips while listening to my AD700's, it adds to the bass and really makes the sound fuller.     If I eat extra-hot salsa with my Grados, it makes me forget about the discomfort of wearing them because I am focusing on the fire in my mouth.      

Quote:   Maybe you can call them up and tell them you have waited long enough and you don't want it anymore, and they better refund you the money.  Its worth a shot!  Especially since you can get them $100 cheaper elsewhere, and with a better warranty policy.   

Did you pay $414 for them?  If so you might want to see if you could still cancel your order and get them from J&R.  If you call them, you can get them for $330-350, and they have been proven to be reliable

My friend received these for Christmas, which I got to test out.  I agree with OP. The sound quality on these are just not up to par, especially at $130.  If it was in the $60 range, I could see the value.  I really like most Logitech products too, except their headphones.    After listening...

So what happens if Will Ferrel starts wearing Skull Candies while wearing a rolex???

I use the Astro Mixamp + HD595's and I have a PS3.  Sounds like you might have a dud.  But if the surround sound is not working, it probably has more to do with your Mixamp or the settings on your PS3, than the headphones.  Have you tried other headphones with your Mixamp?  Can you hear the...

Thanks for the tip, I will have to give it a shot

They are listed as $499 there...they would really lower their price by another $180?  huh.

There is a guy in my town selling a pair of 4 month old Sennheiser HD650's for $320. I'm very tempted...I might go over there and try them out to see if its worth the upgrade.  I have no idea what amp he has though.

Quote: They are all PS3 compatible with the Astro Mixamp.    The Mixamp is a quality product.  The A40's are very mediocre in terms of sound quality, which is a shame since they are quite expensive.  Most gamers who buy them do so because they see their MLG sponsored pro's wear them...

  Quote: Not really.  You can get cheaper headsets that have better audio quality (such as Sennheiser PC350, Razer Carcharias, etc).  Or the better option would be get a good pair of headphones with a good soundstage, and just use a separate mic, no need to actually modify your...

Quote: He said he wants headphones, not a headset.  He also said he is wearing them in public.  Would you wear your PC350's in public, with a huge mic?   I've used the AD700's for gaming.  They might not be the most bass heavy, but for gaming the bass is fine.  I didn't like the...

I have a question about Xcapes...or Sunrise products in general.  Where can you buy them?  I'm looking on their site, doesn't look like you can get it from them.  No listings on Amazon.  The only place I've seen them is eBay, shipping from UK...

Haha, I love their descriptions of Fanny Wang:   "Who is Fanny Wang? Fanny is an iconic representation of the merging of technology and fashion. No where is this more prevalent than the big cities in China where fashion trends are emerging as fast as NYC or LA. Is Fanny real? In our minds...

I've used the AD700's and the 595's for gaming....if you already have the AD700's, I wouldn't change.  I didn't think one was an improvement over the other for gaming.

Hi, I own the Astro Mixamp (5.8 wireless version).  I've also tested the Tritton AXPro's.  I can tell you without a doubt, the best combo is to go Astro Mixamp + quality headphone/headset.  I would not recommend the Astro A40 or A30 headsets, they are overpriced and their sound quality is not...
