The special thread Iā€™m working on will likely be ready in the next week or two.

hmm
now that I see it in an actual build/video im still not sure i like the N7
mainly the VRM heatsink is whatā€™s killing it for me, otherwise actually is pretty nice looking

still too expensive though imo

Iā€™m thinking about sending the 4th pair (3rd replacement) of the headphones that are supposed to arrive today back to Amazon. Even if theyā€™re sealed in plastic and working perfectly (which I canā€™t confirm after just a short time). Cause the trust is gone and the bitter aftertaste still lingers.

But Iā€™m lazy. And when I think about it, I can still send them back if they develop an issue over time, get a refund and buy them at the local audio store.

I want to call them shady bastards for knowingly selling open box stuff as new without disclosing it, but ultimately I canā€™t proof that they did it on purpose.

edit: I donā€™t even need to feel bad about sending them back. the mini-xlr port was already out of the headphones and just hanging onto the wires when I opened the - this time at least sealed in plastic - box.
Fucking hellā€¦this is my smartphone all over again. Nothing but trouble. But Iā€™m not going to pay more and get the HD600 (which would probably require a more powerful amp).

not my style but thanks :smiley:

i liked this album from them, which is semi similar but quite different for an idea

the new video is just kindof interesting as they havenā€™t done much in a long time so. (like 2 years)

am not sure what it even is lolā€¦ historical metal? i guess?

also if anyone wants Fallout themed keycaps

oh also

Not sure about fallout but wouldnā€™t mind one of those VIM keycaps :smiley:

lol yep
also theres a WOW cap

Sounds like a branch of Power metal, kind of in the same vein as Sabaton or Powerwolf.

Encyclopedia Metallum confirms my suspicions:

Edit: They seem to be releasing a new album this year too so that explains the new video

kind of similar yup.
This one definitely is moreā€¦ hmmā€¦ polished? i think thats what I mean. The singing/guitar/rest of the music is very well put together. I.e. the lyrics and the music coordinate quite well, if that makes sense.

Itā€™s why they are one of the only power metal bands I like.

also cool, new album.

Got my 5th pair of K712 earlier. Guy at the store just shook his head when I told him about the ones I got sent from Amazon. He mentioned a point about used headphones I didnā€™t even think about, despite mentioning it myself, but he gave it more emphasis: hygiene. Who knows if the guy who got them from Amazon before me had a disease or not?
That said, the store wonā€™t take used headphones back (like, if you bought them and just donā€™t like how they sound). They have a whole area for trying out headphones before you buy them (I assume they get cleaned, otherwise that would contradict the whole ā€œwe donā€™t take them back cause hygieneā€ thing).
Also good to know: they have a repair shop for stuff thatā€™s out of warranty or the manufacturer wonā€™t repair.
Theyā€™re overall a bit more expensive than other shops, though.

But in the future Iā€™ll have to get the HD600 (or 650 or 660S) somewhere else, cause Sennheiser put them in their ā€œconsumer lineā€, and the store caters to ā€œprosumersā€ (instruments, stuff for recording and mixing, even event stuff for stages). And they donā€™t get a license from Sennheiser to sell the consumer stuff. Weird, but okay.
