    Sold item to another user, USPS left a notice, user hasn't picked up package or responded to PMs

    I'm worried more about having to refund and resell the item, possibly at a lower cost than I did previously, and having to wait to do it. I'm also worried about the buyer filing a claim with PayPal, having the claim end in their favour, then going to pick up the package. I won't threaten...

    Sold item to another user, USPS left a notice, user hasn't picked up package or responded to PMs

    Edit- Seems it might be OK. Will wait and see.   There doesn't seem to be a proper place to post something like this, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had experiences similar to this on Head-Fi or elsewhere.   I recently sold my Little Dot Mk. V to another user here via USPS with...

    Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Update!   I purchased a resistance adapter from these guys for $15, and it's a genuine Etymotic ER38-24. It works a charm on these and has made them just as silent as my K701s and more 'refined' for lack of better words, as I haven't had these for a long enough time. I'm sure I'll be able to...

    Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote:   Some Googling suggests that it might be a low impedance/high sensitivity issue, and adding a extension with a couple resistors inside could fix it.   I've been using them on my HP TC4400 using onboard sound straight from the headphone jack and although it's still there, I...

    Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote:   I was considering it; that since the K701s are open-air cans and I've used nothing but them since late 2008 and put several thousand hours on them, that perhaps I'm just not used to having the ambient sound not being a part of the listening experience.   It makes no...

    Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote:   Picked these up for a mobile solution and something that  would agree with my K701 taste, and I'm experiencing the same hiss. It's ridiculously loud when nothing is playing and noticeable during quiet songs, most often with classical. It simply sounds like the noise floor has...

    K701 Recable v. Mine!

    K701 #29959...Purchased new from Headroom in November of 2008...approaching approximately three thousand (3000!) hours of use so far...up until this day everything was original. As you might imagine, despite regular cleaning, things got a little dirty and beat up. As it was, the stock cable was...

    i finally found time to sort through all my vinyl .... anyone else catalog their stuff?

    I don't have nearly enough to justify creating a catalog for everything. I do, however, maintain a catalog for my XTC collection so that I can keep track of my goal of obtaining all the original Virgin UK pressings. It's a slow process but every so often I add a record or two to the spreadsheet.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Anyone here take classes Triton College? Someone at the tech building int he early morning had what were either the HD600 or HD650 on outside. Not just as a fashion statement but actually listening to something.

    Halo: Combat Evolved (PC)

    Do remember that there are objects to use for cover, and always remember the 'crouch' function. This goes for any FPS, not just Halo. In T&R, cover is limited, however, twists and turns in the hallways must be used as such. For Halo specifically, up close combat with Elites is usually sped...

    Picking up an Intl' Fedex package at the shipping center?

    You have to wait until they make the first delivery attempt, then you can call them with the tracking number and ask them to hold it at your local distribution centre for pick-up.

    Do I need a bank account connected to receive money on Paypal?

    If you have no credit/debit card or bank account linked to your account, you can still accept money, but it's stuck in your account until you link something to it.

    Energy drinks!

    Bawls. I don't understand how people can drink Monster, it's like drinking cough syrup.

    that one poster....

    Maxell was giving away posters in late 2007. I managed to get one, took a couple months to get here because they missed a space in my address, and Fedex apparently thought Chicago = Tinley Park. But I got it, just nowhere to put it up yet.

    Lint

    Dust accumulates on your clothes while you're outside and anytime you move. Dust gets in your home and coats everything you own, including your clothes. Dust could be pollution, dirt or even dead skin. You can't avoid it.

    Oh no, I'm not hounding you for that, I was just clarifying for anyone that might wander in and wonder just how two sub 1000s showed up.

    I can't imagine two relatively new users have such early numbers from the original goldies, the silvers must be getting number now.

    Invaders must die!!!

    My special Edition came in today. (Hooray for preordering from Britain!) I have to say, aside from 'World's On Fire,' I enjoy Always Outnumbered a lot more. Certainly wasn't worth the money I paid.
