A post from some guy on Hot Deals UK:   Quote:     This is interrupting my pessimism on this deal. Agh. Now I'm getting excited. =(.

Ahhhh. This isn't going to happen. Considering how many must have been ordered by now, you'd think they would have run out of  any promotional stock.   Maybe if people weren't ordering numerous of them we'd have a chance!   Time will tell, but I don't think I'll be getting my 3. =P.

Fingers crossed.

IE7 from Amazon is £100. They're fairly warm.

I sold my STX on eBay last week. The buyer has reported that there is a fault with it.   It would seem that when he turns his volume down, using Windows or a Media program, the left channel does not lower. The right works as normal. This only happens after half an hour. It can only be fixed...

Look for a used pair of SRH440's. Pretty nice headphones, should be able to get them in that range.

Quote: Scot's complain far more about England 'droning' on about '66 than the English actually go on about '66. Many Scot's don't mind if England win. Definitely some anti-English atmosphere from the older-generation, but amongst my peers, I feel there's a balance between people wanting...

Quote: This is very much along the lines of how I felt. I much prefer the SRH840s. I just found them utterly unwearable.

Quote: Great answer, thanks for that.   I will be mostly using them out of an iPod with a simple Fiio E5 with mostly ALAC files. Not arrived yet, but thoroughly looking forward to hearing them. If they come clsoe to either, I'll be delighted.

...with full-size headphones?   I have a pair of UE-10's on their way - I needed something portable for travelling and working-out. I'm curious in what ways a high quality set of IEMs will differ from a similarly priced set of full-sized phones.   For example, I have a pair of DT880's...

Having listened to both the AD700 and SRH840 extensively, I'd pretty much avoid both. =).   I sold my AD700s because of how much of the low-end is missing - I can't get used to it. Classical and some pop is fine on them, but otherwise I dislike them.   I much prefer the sound of my...

Hey, I got this today but I'm having a problem... The headphone jacks wont work. When the PC boots up the headphone light is on, but when Windows opens the light switches to the RCA outputs, nothing seems to get it back to the headphones, tried many headphones in both jacks and tried on two...

The 600s are back up to £250 now, 595s to £120 - have they fulfilled orders? Nice one, if so.

Asus Xonar Essence STX in both instances for the time-being.

So over the past few weeks I've moved on considerably from my Senn HD201s. I currently have a set of AD700s, SRH840s and HD600s I'm sitting here and I can hear the difference between them, but am lacking in a little appreciation for these headphones. Obviously I've read the reviews and...

Where would one acquire OP-Amps for this card in the UK, anyone?
