The seller cancelled my Amazon order! Guess he figured out the deal wasn't in his interest- Snoochers

Mine is easy Jan or even end of the month (doubtful). I'll report back. Worse that can happen is I get a full refund- Snoochers

Hey man fellow Canadian here. I just bought the AKG 712s last night after a boatload of research. My budget was significantly higher, but ended up deciding on these because the reviews on these for gaming and their comfort are excellent. I am even playing the same games as you, including...- Snoochers

I've been looking to get these for a little bit and I saw them on Amazon for 222$, which seemed like a crazy deal. So I jumped on it and bought them.... Only issue is that they were offered by a completely new and unknown seller. ...- Snoochers

hmm that is a good point. It is called "Theatre Dimensional", which makes virtual surround with "two speakers". I had assumed it would work with headphones, but perhaps that was a bad assumption. I will audition them in the AVR and will report back. One issue is I am new to hi-fi and can't...- Snoochers

I don't know! Don't own them yet.. I'm not concerned about the power of the AVR, more concerned about the potentially high output impedance (greater than 10% the headphone impedance)- Snoochers

I actually have an AVR that offers simulated surround sound. But I have been told that the AVR would not act as a good enough headphone amp through the headphone jack!- Snoochers

Well that is what I meant by "virtual" surround, because it uses the stereo and creates virtual surround and not actual surround :) Thanks I will look more closely at the first post. For some reason I was under the impression that those were more for surround sound and poor amps- Snoochers

Is there a USB dac/AMP that can provide virtual surround sound for both PC and PS4?- Snoochers

Oh... I see some on eBay you are right... for 235$ US. These come from Hong Kong though. Have people had much experience with these? Are they still made in Europe (and obviously not fake?). Seems weird to come from Asia!- Snoochers

I see these going for 300$ on Amazon. Is this as cheap as they get? Any chance of them going even lower on boxing day?- Snoochers

Oh I see! The whole side of the 712s are "mesh"/"cage" like and I figured that would mean it is all open! Similar to the HE-400i- Snoochers
