Ok, I'll have to try the bank transfer then. I wore the K280 rotated 90 degrees for a while. Well, I get more depth to the music, better placement of front and back. I guess that's what happens when one driver is front of the ear and the other behind. It doesn't seal well anymore so it's pretty weird. Are the K290 drivers different from K280? Or does AKG do some other funny magic for the surround mode?

As far as bank transfers though, I've paid for many phones that way without any issues. It works out a lot cheaper to do it yourself instead of going through a middleman, if the seller will ship internationally. |
