What time will the Black Friday prices go into effect?  12AM EST?  I want to make sure I am ready in case I want to get the HE-400 at $300.  

Thanks to those that said it may be dust or a hair. I decided today to take the "risk" and take apart the headphones and give them a thorough cleaning. One little hair in particular had made it's way halfway through the white fibrous material that covers the driver. A careful tug got it out in...

Recently my DT770's left driver has developed a rattle when reproducing bass notes. They are still under warranty but I'm having a hard time navigating their website to figure out how to start the RMA process. Is anybody familiar with their RMA process or how good their customer service/repair...

Probably too weak for the HD600, definitely too weak for the 701

Koss A250 or AT A500?

Interesting poll I'd say 25% of the time. When I was younger it was more like 50/50 because I would actively listen to music while laying down to go to sleep. Now that I'm in college and have a job, I generally listen to music while writing papers or while driving around.

I just took apart my Koss A130s to fix the rattling issue with the drivers. It was a very easy fix but I'm sure that many others, like myself, are weary about taking apart their headphones if they've never done it before. I took pictures showing how I did the fix in case others are interested in...

Alright. If I'm not happy with my A130s I'm going to try that. I just got them today and am trying them out. I took them apart and sealed down the drivers with sticky tak because they were jiggling around like many others have said. Easy fix and only took a few minutes and $1.59.

What did you say to them to get them to match $150? I can't find them for cheaper than $180 anywhere and the guy I spoke to at GC said they need proof that another place is offering them that cheap.

So it would be best to pair these with an amp that improves bass while "softening" the highs? What do you recommend to tone down the brightness?

What is the B-Stock discount? I'm looking at the email I requested right now and the price is listed as $62 .

People are probably going to ask you what kind of sound you prefer... heavy bass, exciting, laid back, airy, etc.

This thread sold me. I'm getting the A130s for now and then will get another pair of headphones around Christmas. What amp should I get to go with them? Will the LDM+ suffice?

I'm going to bump this ancient thread because I'm very interested in deciding between a bunch of headphones and these are two at the top of my list.

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I have another question- how is the A130? The Buyitnow price on ebay is ridiculously cheap and I've read a few good things about them on here when paired with the LDM+. If I get both an LDM+ and the A130 cans I'd still be way under budget, and I'd have an amp...

Ok, so does anybody else have a bit more in-depth response as to what makes what a good gaming headphone? Despite being closed, is there any advantage to the A900 over the K501? Also, does anybody have any information on my situation with the VSX-305 headphone out?

Bump. I thought I provided enough details or maybe people just don't like me

Before people start telling me to use the search function, let me begin by saying that I already have. My conclusion is that the AT ATH-A series are probably the best for gaming behind the DT770 cans. However, I have a few prerequisites to mention before I make a final decision, hence making my...
