Sorry to hear that Haj but yeah, you had to sign up for the playstation card before 12/31, I thought I posted that somewhere. Final price was ~$280 shipped which is a huge bargain for what it can do.

Buy? No. Rent? Yes, Netflix has already been converted and my wife and I watched Traitor last night (it was what we had) and it looked fantastic. And I downloaded a demo of MotoGP '08 last night so at some point today I'll get to see how high-def gaming looks on my TV.

Oh cry me a river.

No time fail. Not going to download games either, don't trust HD and it'd take forever. Situation will be rectified asap.

I don't own any games yet.

I'm probably just playing the role of nervous dad.

Move to the BH while you're at it. On a side note, I'm pleased as punch that the beta doesn't look out of place in a stack consisting of some pretty $$ gear.

Congrats Mike! And as long as you're not in for an all-nighter the beta should survive ok.

V2 pads in the house! And the T50s sound pretty good out of the Menace fed by the Buffalo DAC. I'm going to let the headphone rig pound on them for a while tonight to aid in the "loosening" process.

How does one know if they have v2 earpads?

Setup the ps3

So far when they sound good they sound pretty damn good, I'd swear there are times they sound like near ass though... Thanks for the suggestions Smeggy, I'll play with them more tonight and we'll see how quickly I tear into them.

They hint at what the box is in one of the videos on their site, but don't show much.

I'd try calling.

No hot glue either.

Printed on the top of every headband.

Yup, that's a fitting way to finish up.

Yeah, but based on their specs they shouldn't be that hard to drive (98dB/mW, 50ohm). Right now I'd swear the right channel is fading in and out periodically so it could be that I've just got a wonky pair.

Well the T50RPs are in the house. Sonofabitch these things are hard to drive. The poor little Starving Student seems to be struggling. Sound so far is pretty stuffy and congested, I'll let them run this afternoon and hope things improve. Tonight I'll subject them to some abuse at the hands of the Menace and see what's what.

I think we're done here.

I doubt it. It's painfully clear that no one can give you the answer you're looking for, i.e. information about the HD800. I'm guessing maybe 100 people have heard those headphones now and the likelihood that one of them a) reads this forum, listens to whatever Japanese music you like and c) gives a shit is pretty much null. Oh I'm sorry, are you the one that derailed an entire thread this morning?

Are you trying to piss people off now? If so, it's working.

Agreed, it's one of less than a handful of CD's I've listened to once and tossed.

Because for every other genre most of us don't find them lacking in any way, shape or form. Are any of them perfect, no, but the silver SR325 and W5000 are the only headphones I've heard that I'd qualify as Fail.
