Call them. I know you've PM'ed them too, but I'd give them a call on Tuesday. You'll get your answer quicker that way. Tyl and the crew at Headroom are a topnotch bunch of headphone fanatics - but they are a small company, so they wear many different hats. This time of year must be the pits for them - especially customer service. But they take great pride in solving any mistakes, so call them, explain your situation and I'm sure you'll get the correct answer.

It's all been straightened out now. The problem was on my end. I officially retract my previous statement about their customer service. Sorry Headroom!

Glad to hear. Hopefully that means that your headphones will be on their way to you ASAP. Enjoy.

Just got these for X-mas... Trying them out right now and they sound very very nice. I have the Grado SR-80, and the Sennheiser HD 497. I wanted a closed can and this is the perfect one for the money. It blows the Sennheiser out of the water. And can actually compete with the Grado... An amazing closed can.

Yep, They're due on the 26th (tomorrow). A little late Christmas present for myself. I can't wait.

That sounds more like Headroom service. I got mine 2 days after I ordered them, and I live in Vermont.

Give em a good burn in before doing any serious listening, then try the pad removal tweak and see if you don't find them one of the most fun pair of cans you own.

The technics are the first pair I tried to outdo the sony. Also I spin house/techno/progressive... so sound quality is SOMEWHAT impt, more so than hip hop. Anyway, I got the k81dj from Buy.com for 58 bucks w/2 day shipping. I wanted the k181dj, but after reading mixed reviews, i figured i'd save 100 bucks since I know i'm getting a free pair of technics. Has anyone tried using these AKG's in a big club or nice size lounge w/pounding music? My next venture will be the ultrasone DJ1's, but i think I want the pro version and I'm not in the mood to drop 230 for them right now.

Thanks man.

This is going to be so awesome. A brand new 81 dj + my first amp a pa2v2.

Jahn,

They say revenge is a dish best servd cold. Now that your cousin has started down the better sound via headphones road, he'll no doubt upgrade the K81DJ's at some point. And when he does, your opportunity will present itself (especially if he upgrades to something you want). At that point give him a taste of his own medicine. You'll feel sooooo much better, and laugh sooooo much harder when HE complains.

i'm thinking of buying these cans and so i have a couple of questions.

can you use them in the outdoors (walking in rain and that sort of stuff)

are these cans comfortable? compared to let's say koss UR-40?

i live in holland and i can buy them for 58 euro's is this a good price?


greetings Tom.

So.. last night I ordered these from buy.com for $52.71 shipped with the google $20 off $50 promotion. Looking forward to getting these!!

 

[shesmylovernow]

Had mine for three days now and I love 'em. They were incredibly uncomfortable at first -- perhaps b/c I'm used to the rediculously comfortable A700s -- but after doing the 'tong-bend' I've gotten them to the point where they're at least not a bother. Soundstage has really reacted nicely to 40 hours of burn-in. Bass is also much tighter now than out of the box. These are going to be my portable cans for the forseeabale future and I'm damn excited about it. Taking the bus to campus will be a helluva lot more bearable now that I won't have to deal with my gawddamn ibuds. I'm listening to Jay Reatard's Blood Visions right now and while it isn't as crisp or pristine sounding as with the A700s (not that this rekkid could ever sound pristine exactly, haw haw), I dare say it just sounds more 'fun.' Works very well with irascible-type rekkids.

Does anyone know of an actual store either near Quebec City, the vicinity of Toronto, or in Ottawa that sells these?

I can't buy online because my parents don't want to right now because of w/e, so my only options are to buy it in QC, get my brother to buy it In Ottawa and ship it to me, or get my best friend in Toronto to buy it and ship it to me.

OH NO! THE BUY.COM DEAL EXPIRED?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's too bad because I got mine shipped from Calgary (Axe Music) and paid $85CDN with free shipping. Just got them and they are awsome!

I think I remember earlier in this thread seeing someone had bought them in T.O., could give that a try.

Good luck and happy new year!
