there is no perceptible delay if you use bluetooth. It's not ideal but works fine for videos.

The headband length adjustment should not be looser on one side.  I say an earcup that fails to reasonably stay fixed warrants an exchange.

I have owned se530s and got some 4s earlier this week... and i will have to say the 4's are definitely not fun, thumpier and not so detailed.   However, I've heard the 3s are very much all those three.  someone else should confirm this, but 3s have been praised/criticized for being fun...

yes.   Quote:

If you're willing to take your budget to $166, get the HD-25s, they should meet or exceed all of your requirements and they're incredibly durable - I'm pretty sure they'll outlast the backpack i throw them into everyday.   they are really in a different price range though so i'm not sure if...

Quote: the tween kids with dre beats's parents is the answer to to that wonder

i've had these for a while and boy do i appreciate them - they feel unbreakable and i can drive the crap out of them... plus, support ireland!  in other news, what is an aftermarket cable that can still be used with the single entry cable? possible?

does gain change the amount of "current" or the amplitude of the current or neither? I suppose with the k701's being low sensitivity and gain changes the amount of current flowing, that woud have some sort of impact right?

I know there was a thread on setting the Gain on an Ultra desktop for D7000's, but I decided to start a new one seeing as how i'm talking about a different amp and different headphone. I have a well burned in pair of k701s and a micro DAC 2006, micro amp 2005 running off USB. High gain has...

hey sometimes when i'm feeling edgy i like to throw a 3db boost from 32-250hz in my itunes eq (with the k701), is that a bad-bad?

very cool... is your RWA stack packed in that backpack or what?

i hope you also ordered a hundredweight of patience and a membership to the church of burn-in as well

Just a testament to how finicky these headphones are - i bought k701's in february of last year. i got a headroom micro dac/amp combo with it, and I use the medium gain setting until about october, and was never really satisfied. In october, I accidently flipped the switch to high gain and the...

ianmedium, any reason for not using an LOD?

yeah, ditto krmathis, it's one of those rigs that inspire me to build my own rig... if only i had the scratch

bestskinsever.com is the best place to get screen protectors, same quality as zagg without the ludicrous markup. have used it on an iphone and 2 blackberries in the last 2 years

My k701's didn't come alive until 9 months after I bought them... so be prepared for the long haul
