I would assume if either, you don't have the original receipt, or they check your name against the receipt for some random reason and it doesn't match the name on the receipt.

hm I see I am mistaken then, I apologize, the combo you were looking at would probably be a good idea then. It would also allow you to upgrade in the future to something like what I originally thought would work. Goodluck.    

your soundcard does have toslink out and in, the exact location of it on the card is a mystery to me though as i'm not 100% familar with your card. With the mixamp you could mod an ad-700 with a boom mic or clip on mic and it wouldn't essentially have more cord real-estate than any generic...

As much as I disliked apple's products and policies towards certain implementation in products this is a very sad day for the tech industry. Rip.

I played halo pc professionally for a few years and always used a cheap headset, I hate to imagine how good I would be with my current setup considering it's positioning ability is ten times better than anything I had in those days. I recommend either the ad-700 or senn. hd 598 and astro...

I'd like to add my name to the list of owners of these cans.  I got lucky and got mine used, in mint shape from botbyte about 2-3 weeks ago for $160 total which I thought was awesome, considering how good of shape they were in and came with all the original packaging and such. Compared to my...

You need this cable or something similar to it to connect a headset and mic to your console. http://www.astrogaming.com/accessories/3rd-party-headset-y-adapter-pkg-d I might be mistaken though but 95% sure that's what you need. Good luck.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned any of the vintage pioneer receivers from the mid to late 70's quite possibly some of the best depending on what model you get and for what price you acquire it for.  I might be biased though since I use a pioneer sx-939 as my main amp for cans, and it...

You could always look at these threads as an excuse to pick up a few posts . But in the grand scheme of things Beats equal a meh response at best out of me.  

Essentially I just end up agreeing with people on the outside to stop arguments but, recently i showed the girlfriend your hd598's and she said I must have those, I responded with I thought you considered such things audio snobbery based on either the price or what they supposedly do better than...

Hi all recently my girlfriend of all people referred to my recently found hobby of hi-fi (low-mid fi by some standards) as audio snobbery.  So being that I don't believe there is a post about being called a snob or defending your opinion on hi quality audio gear, I thought I would try and start...

Hi, long time reader first time poster, I finally finished reading through all the posts in this thread and must say, up until I came across it, I thought I was the only person using a vintage pioneer receiver (sx-939) as a dedicated daily headphone driver.  Using a laptop running strictly...
