when the input cable gets taut (which happens in my setup from time to time) it applies bending moment to the jack, instead of the usual axial tension.  a bit of speculation on my part.  but the audio corrects itself when i push one way or another on the jack.

i've been using the O2 for about 2 years with a generic radio shack 1/8" right angle adapter(http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103788).  it's been placing undue stress on the input adapter, right channel is starting to give out.  bummer. 

  a year and half later, i'm still impressed by the HD650's. making the most of these headphones  

i've owned my HD650's for about a year now.  easily the best money i've spent on audio equipment. 

  The National - I Should Live In Salt the entire album is fantastic.

Quote:   great setup.  i've ran Titanium HD > O2 > DT 770 80ohm and it sounds fantastic.

Quote:   bookmarked.  your writing style seems honest and straightforward and i dig that. 

picked up Max Payne 3 during the steam holiday sale. just loving the hell out of it.  8/10 for me.

Quote:   Tyrone Wells is fantastic.  i've seen him in concert twice now.

Quote:   i second this, absolutely love my O2 and HD650's

Quote:   from the FAQ: Magni uses a fully custom chassis, yes, but it’s made entirely of steel, which reduces price.   so it's got to be plain carbon steel (which would indeed increase the weight).  stainless would not reduce the price.  

Quote: looking to come back?  good man.

yeah the 2.5x is more than enough for the HD650's.  i usually have my volume knob at 9 o'clock for music listening with windows volume at 80%. a 1x/2.5x gain switch would be better.

Quote:   ha she definitely has more. Quote:   four?! i can barely keep up with this one.  

*reaches for wallet* wife's voice in head "you're going to buy another toy? do i get a new purse now?" *places hand slowly back on desk*   i'll wait for reviews. 

Quote:   you're experiencing the power of the mouse/keyboard! keep enjoying 

Quote:   there is no 'software driven' amplification. it's all hardware driven.  between the Titanium HD and Recon3D, get the Titanium HD. the new Z line is still out to pasture, time will tell.  

no it doesn't make a difference, but the standard design for the O2 only has a 3.5mm input so you'll need to use the RCA to 3.5mm cable.

Quote:   Titanium HD RCA Line Out <> RCA to 3.5mm cable <> O2 <> headphones   the Titanium HD comes with the RCA to 3.5mm cable, so you'll have everything you need. yeah your headphones go straight to the 3.5mm headphone out of the O2.

i game a ton with my Titanium HD > O2 > HD650's setup.  it's a great setup for immersive gaming.  the soundstage of the HD650's is somewhat congested for an open headphone but still tons better than your average closed headphone.  The HD650's have a somewhat 'tamed' treble which makes for great...
