Quote: I tried M50s, KNG 8000s, Shure 840s, and returned them all because they were inaccurate and some were also uncomfortable. Monitor headphones aren't about listening experience. Open ear headphones excel at that and I quite enjoy my AD700s, HD555s, and A40s but when I want to work on...

It's good to see someone confirm that this is pretty simple to do. I didn't see any jacks on that site which seem like what I want. I ran across another thread which used a Viablue connector which is more like what I want. It doesn't have to be that good, or expensive. I'm honestly hoping I can...

So, I found that the 8.35D is just what I need, except for the 90º multi-jack. So, I figured, how hard can it be to just change out the jack? Not that I've ever done anything like this, but stripping some wires and soldering some contacts doesn't seem like it's all that complex. I can learn, and...

I finally got around to e-mailing Thomas about a cable modification. I had several other expense's that needed to be taken of, and then finals crept up and demanded my attention. In any event, they do indeed offer cable modifications insofar as they have such a cable in-stock. They do not stock...

Quote: Thank you. I'll send him an e-mail soon. Even though the response I received from GM so far is unsatisfactory, I replied to it hoping to clarify the matter; to insure no miscommunication was taking place. I intended to wait for a reply before pursuing alternatives and I'm not certain...

So, I contacted german maestro through the main website inquiring about ordering a 8.35D that had a 3m straight cable and straight multi-jack. From both new and old information, some of it in this thread, even on the previous page, I understood that this wouldn't be an issue. However, contrary...

The 8.35 D seems like the way to go. I had hoped to order from AZ but a spiral cable and right-angle jack are something I'd prefer to avoid. The main thread said contacting them directly would allow customization of that stuff so I'll see how that goes after the refunds from AZ come in for the...

Quote: Hm. I thought the SRH840s were supposed to be more accurate monitors due to being a higher tier product. I'm honestly not familiar with what descriptions such as 'warm' entail in precise terms let alone in regard to how it would affect monitoring the content I'll be editing. Accuracy...

Quote: I've been giving the 8400s a fair chance. I admit the accuracy it has overall has me leaning towards them regardless of how weak the bass is. Afterall, I have other cans for personal listening and this is meant entirely for editing. Still, how neutral/accurate are the SRH840s? I'm...

So, I purchased the m50s and found they weren't all that comfortable by comparison to my other headphones(AD700s, HD555s, Astro A40s) and thought I'd see if there were other monitoring headphones which were more comfortable. I ran across a thread on head-fi which had a whole bunch of people...

Thanks you for responding. So, I've since progressed in resolving this issue. I've taken care of that specific line noise, only to be left with a different kind of <a href="http://soundcloud.com/lastquestion/lownoise">noise</a>. It sounds like it's a power issue that the mobo cannot correct for...

Okay, so the device giving me trouble is the Astro A40 Mixamp, as seen here. What I'm attempting to do with it is capture audio via the headset port by attaching a 3.5mm cable from it to my Xonar STXs mic port. The eventual goal is to use a splitter to bring audio to both headset and the STXs...
