For the record, I found a decent deal on the K712s on Amazon and was curious enough to try them vs the K7XX. (Among other things, I kinda like the burnt orange colorway.) So far they seem to match the comparisons I've read before, but I am thinking they might be a bit harder to drive than the...

Two questions for folks who may have opinions: How well would they pair with an m9xx? That's the current DAC/AMP on my gaming PC. (And another one on my Mac desktop, lol) Concerning the mic bleed/pickup - I'm going to run the mic input to the Mic-IN on my motherboard. I assume that...

So you're suggesting that the AD-700(X) is *better* at Destiny 2/FPS/general gaming than the K7XX is?

Because the time and effort of returning or reselling a bunch of low cost cans ain’t worth it.

How is that an upgrade? It's half the price, for one thing - which makes me skeptical.

My K7XXs died, and I tried to fix them but failed. They're only $200, so whatever, I could buy another pair but I'm wiling to try something better that's not $1500. Is there something in the $500 range that is an upgrade from the K7XX that is also well suited for gaming? I prefer the open...

How do you think they could update a USB adapter that would impact the performance of a USB dac? That seems unlikely.

I wanna get a Red but I can't find anyone with them in San Jose.  And I don't wanna wait. :p   Edit: I could get a Black by tomorrow...not sure if I could tell the difference.  But I'd rather have the best...

I'm thinking about picking up an HA-2 SE now that I have an iPhone 7.  My only wish - that I could charge it while it was feeding power to the phone.  This would be for long road trips only.  But can anyone guess for me my total run time if I started with a full iPhone and a full HA-2 SE?  I...

So far I am loving my ER4XRs.  I have a 15 year-old pair of ER4S that just weren't driven well with portable gear and to be honest I didn't care enough to drag a portable amp around with me.  Back in the day, when I was starting out, my portable player was a Creative Labs NOMAD Jukebox and an...

  I tried to have my redirected but failed.  However, the weekend before it arrived I had just installed my new Ring video doorbell.  The guy rang the doorbell, I talked to him, and he signed for it and left it hidden on my porch.

It *is* fairly portable, but I ride a bike to/from work about 20 miles each way. It was extra weight I didn't want to hassle with, even if I bought an extra cable/power supply for each location.  I suppose, if my situation changes, I should be able to sell one of them off.

I have two of these badboys now.  One for work and one for home.  I'm being told that doing that was insane.  Was it?  I just didn't wanna hassle with carrying them back and forth on the bike.  They're telling me I should have saved the money and spent more on cans...

  And it's a 300+ page thread, and the search tool sucks.  Feel free to unsub, I guess, but I went looking for info yesterday that I think will be in the thread and I had a horrible time finding it.  

I do like that wide soundstage, I will say....I'm just not sure I need both at this point, and not sure that it's a clear "upgrade".
