The special thread I’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 what’s killing it for me, otherwise actually is pretty nice looking

still too expensive though imo

I’m thinking about sending the 4th pair (3rd replacement) of the headphones that are supposed to arrive today back to Amazon. Even if they’re sealed in plastic and working perfectly (which I can’t confirm after just a short time). Cause the trust is gone and the bitter aftertaste still lingers.

But I’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 can’t proof that they did it on purpose.

edit: I don’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 hell…this is my smartphone all over again. Nothing but trouble. But I’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 haven’t done much in a long time so. (like 2 years)

am not sure what it even is lol… historical metal? i guess?

also if anyone wants Fallout themed keycaps

oh also

Not sure about fallout but wouldn’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 more… hmm… 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.

It’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 didn’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 won’t take used headphones back (like, if you bought them and just don’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 don’t take them back cause hygieneā€ thing).
Also good to know: they have a repair shop for stuff that’s out of warranty or the manufacturer won’t repair.
They’re overall a bit more expensive than other shops, though.

But in the future I’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 don’t get a license from Sennheiser to sell the consumer stuff. Weird, but okay.
