Alright, after about two weeks' use..   Comfort: 8/10   These are very comfortable, especially after I switched to the velour pads.  The only problem is that my head a bit larger than "standard" I think, so It squeezes a tiny bit :P I don't have any problems wearing them for extended...

Thanks for all the feedback!  The AKG 240 MKII is on its way, and I'm sure it will be awesome :)

Right now I'm leaning toward the k240 then, unless I get some other feedback.  Thanks so far!

Hello again, head-fi geniuses!   I made a thread before (about a week ago) but wasn't entirely certain on bumping rules, so I just opted to make a new one.  They're not entirely related, anyway :)   Anyhow, to the point.  With suggestions from my last thread, I've narrowed it down to the...

Quote:   My apologies but I really can't make out what it is you're saying..?     @disastermouse:   I don't object to buying used at all, as long as they haven't been beaten to death by the previous owner into scrap.  I took a look at that Mad Dog modded Fostex you mentioned and...

bump     (sorry!)

I'm still doing research, and it really looks like the AD700s are really more for FPS/positioning based games.  With what I do (as mentioned by an above poster), I guess that's really not priority.  Right now I think I can get either the k242HD or k240 MKII for the same price (k242HD + shipping...

Thanks for pulling up those links.  I'm not too familiar with that second dealer, it seems to be primarily EU based?  Am I still able to order from the US to get the 242HD (which seem to be a REALLY good deal there, I mean they're cheaper than the 240 MKII on that site!)?  Or should I just go...

I actually looked into the Xonar and will probably grab that with whichever headset I end up choosing.  I just looked up that headset on Amazon though and it's almost $300 USD!  I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the suggestion at all - I am thrilled people are actually replying - but it's a...

Alright, thanks for the elaborate response!  I unfortunately don't have anywhere I can test them out, really - I live near campus, so most the electronics stores cater to the students, who favor "trendy" brands like Beats, Bose, Sony, and so on.  Most the other "gaming" headsets don't interest...

Heyo,   I only recently started looking into what I've come to think of as "real" headphones, after seeing so many people suggest brands I'd never even heard of.  Right now I own a Razer Carcharias, with which I've not really noticed too many problems; however, with all the people praising...
