Rock might not come through excitingly enough for some people and the brightness is a bit fatiguing after some time listening on second thoughts. A pic of the slightly mis-placed driver, which I fixed by pushing it in. Note that only half the allen screw sockets are filled. Pics showing the cable. I don't think it's an issue most of the time as the cups wont end up swivelled at such an extreme angle, just that the cable can get rubbed easily just outside of where it goes into the cups and could do with a layer or two of heatshrink for good measure: http://gallery.me.com/currawong/1005...12581759770001 |
