Thank you, I do have my eyes set on a pair of k702's. Something I just find sexy about them.

Wow almost forgot about this thread. sorry   Quote:   It wasn't actually a kit I just bought 10' of sleeving and few different sizes of 3-1 heatshrink. All was purchased from Performance-PC's.     Quote: All together approx 5hrs give or take.   Quote...

Wow almost forgot about this. The new driver arrived in 2 days and fixed my problem. Nothing but love for the great folks over at audio technica

whats the fun in that though, then we wouldn't have anything to mod except the god awful color scheme.

Quote: Dont be afraid just take your time and make sure you have a decent tiny philips head screwdriver. Did I mention this was my first headphone mod and that a I'm a total soldering noob?

After getting the headset back together I finally gave the headset a true test only to find that the left driver was bad. Since I had already drilled and what not warranty was void so I had to call Audio Technica. They ended up sending me a new driver for a total of $8.20(US Dollars) shipped to...

Well after I said I wasn't going to I went and bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD700's. They seem to be the most recommend headphones for gaming on the net. I did extensive research and ended on these. Now they have not actually arrived yet (due in Monday) but I have done enough research to...

Well I have tried everything I can think of except tearing down the other driver but everything I check as far as wiring goes is fine. I just got the headset but I have modified it so I doubt I'll get any warranty coverage. :( EDIT: Called Audio Technica to find the cost on a new driver...

Picture as promised. Sorry for the poor quality. I see nothing loose everything seems fine. I'm wondering if all the excess wire I had tucked in directly behind the driver was causing the problem?

I have made sure its not just a fitment issue.

gonna tear it down again and investigate tomorrow. ill take pics if i dont figure it out and post em up. right now I'm just trying to see if I'm heading in the right direction ie. could poor connection inside be causing low volume?

I'm not sure I follow. I tried reversing the speakers on the computer, tried a different headset and even flipped the headset on my head to confirm. Definitely the left channel is lower than the right, I'm really hoping I just tugged one of the wires a little loose or something....Could the...

Ok guys just got my set of AD700's in today and my first step was to add a mic to them. I tore down the left ear and installed a mic. Now my sound coming out of the right side is louder than the left could I have loose wire or poor connection be causing my problem or is it likely I have a bad...

well the most common solution is the astro mixamp which will let you use the optical out on ps3 but that will run you around 150$ USD. A cheaper solution is the Turtle Beach DSS which is about half the cost of the mixamp. Of course you could use a DAC/AMP with an optical input as well.

Quote: Look above he states that the he is using a pc monitor. The PC monitor does have a normal headphone jack and HDMI in, and we have all established that it is the monitors amp/dac that he is enjoying and not the ps3's

I am actually looking for the same thing but dont need the switch part. Would this work: http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/55/Powered-Splitter/

thank you i have been looking for a replacement monitor and this looks like a decent choice.

Quote:     Quote:   Exactly then you are enjoying your monitors amp/DAC. Which monitor/TV are you using?

yeah i was gonna say thats a 360 cable I have yet to see anything yet for the ps3 resembling that

I'm a little confused what headphone jack are you using the one on your tv? I didn't think there was one on the PS3?

 though I'm not certain on the exact wiring he is using one wire. You can use what the call a 4 pole jack and then a wire that has 4 strands in it. So one pole is ground for both speakers and mic, one is left, one is right, and one is mic. I believe the wiring goes Tip=Left Ring1=Right...
