So this is the email I got in return asking for a repair,  I've talked to the manufacturer about your repair and they have gave me a quote of £219.71 for a repair. This is due to the hourly rate of the technicians time and for shipping of the item.     That's more than the current price of a...

Well my left clear slider just snapped, Anything I can do guys? AKG Support in the UK is trash.

Wondering if I should get this or a Schiit stack..

Which combo would be the best for AKG K712's? I have not got a clue with dacs/amps, I would like to use my headphones and have my speakers plugged in at the same time which also uses a 3.5mm to RCA, Thanks.

Hi guys I purchased the K712's last month now or so and I believe I have uncovered a slight problem with the right ear cup, When you move the ear cup all the way in then slightly pull it back again, there is friction and when there on my head all I hear is a friction/creaking noise when I move...

  Amazon UK, from a 3rd party seller.

Nope sent them back this morning.

  Just received the K712 and wow the comfort is supreme compared to the Q701 imo, I'd like to thank you for recommending them to me, Sound great, Aswell as looking stunning.   Edit: Worth the premium I paid also, Just for the comfort alone.

Ordered the k712's to try them out today, not sure what to do if these give me pain.

Thanks man I'll check them out.

Hi guys.. I'm back again looking for another set of headphones, I bought the AKG Q701, Good sound but I cannot stand the comfort of them for me, Last night I believe my headphones induced a headache on me, The clamp pressure on my jaw, To the bumps on the headband just kills me, Is there any...

Hi guys, I had Astro A40's with the Mixamp but upgraded to AKG Q701's, My problem is the comfort of the AKG Q701's earpads they are nothing like the Astro A40's in terms of comfort is there any softer pads out there that I could buy for the AKG Q701's? thanks.

Uh... yes you are. Well rather, what's the point of the SBZ if you're using your Mixamp? Even, what's the point of the Mixamp if you are already using the SBZ? If you are trying to use Dolby Headphone through the Mixamp, then I guess  if that's what you want, that's up to you. Could have just...

Hi people, I have connected my Soundcard (Soundblaster Z) to the Astro mixamp via optical toslink, Then to my AKG's, do you know if I am hampering sound quality by doing this? Should I connect my AKG's to the 3.5mm jack on the Soundcard instead?

    Yeah it's going to be a very tough choice to pick between the two, Thanks for your replys aswell man, I appreciate it.   I guess i'll post at a later date to say which one i've went with!

    Haha, That's a hard one for me, Thanks for you're replys!

  Ok thanks for the reply, So i'll just not use the Mixamp then, I'll either use CMSS or SBX pro, I also see that you have a Fidelio X1 would you recommend that for gaming for positional audio etc footsteps? As i'm thinking about getting those aswell.

  Hi, No I don't have any issues yet because I don't have a soundcard or motherboard that outputs 5.1 Dolby Digital Live the now, That's why i'm wondering if the SBZ has latency issues with it as that's what i've read.

    Yeah I know what you mean, But I like the Mixamp so I can switch between game volume and Voip on the fly,   I will most likely buy the Sound Blaster Z to try it out anyway nothing to lose, Also thinking about buying a Philips Fidelio X1 is this any good for footsteps or the SBZ? or Would...

  Hi, Right now I only have the Astro A40 headset and the Mixamp, I am debating about getting a Sound Blaster Z soundcard for Positional audio, But read issues with latency via Dolby Digital Live as I do not want latency as I play Counter Strike on PC.   I connect the Mixamp with an optical...

  So would I get less latency if I use CMSS-3D or SBX Surround instead of Dolby Digital live?, Also how would I connect the soundcard to the headset? Thanks.

  Hi, Somehow I was under the impression I needed an Optical cable for surround sound ? Am I wrong?

  Do you know if there is any difference in latency with CMSS-3D and Dolby Digital Live?

Hi guys, I've read numerous topics/complaint threads now about Dolby Digital Live "latency", I'm wondering if CMSS-3D, SBX Surround, or THX Surround have the same problem with latency? I have the Astro A40's along with the 2013 Mixamp so I also don't know if i'm stuck with Dolby digital live...

Anyway around this?
