Can every one just confirm for me that ups delivered your parcels? Im having a nightmare even getting any one to recognise the shipping reference I have from mass drop.

UPS takes it to the US border, USPS takes it across the border and the local mail service delivers it.

I must be one of the lucky ones then!

UPS does not deliver in this instance. As I said in my previous post, UPS takes it to the US border, USPS (United States Postal Service) takes it across the border and the local mail service delivers it.

Essentially, UPS passes it within the USA to the border ready for international shipping, USPS (United States Postal Service) takes it across the Atlantic ocean and Royal Mail delivers it locally.

There was no tracking code on the package I received nor did I sign for it; USPS was stated on the label.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We do everything that we can to support shipping to as many countries as possible, however some manufacturers impose constraints on our offers. Also keep in mind that you might have to pay more for shipping if you live outside of the United States, and you’ll be responsible for any additional customs fees, taxes, or duties. Most international packages are shipped via UPS Mail Innovations, which is a service where the parcel is first picked up by UPS, then passed on to USPS, taken to another country, and handed off to the local postal carrier. This method of shipping is actually cheaper than USPS by about 30% - which of course, we pass on to you!

So everyone here will receive their package via Royal Mail unsigned. Just make sure the postman can get in.

Full address minus the house number. They knew the street and postcode and name of recipient just not the door number, somehow I missed it off the sign up to massdrop I suppose

That's

Do I just walk into town with the slip and some cash or is there an online system I have to use?

You can do it on the RM site.

phwoar that looks pretty "gaming" style headset to me which will be my main use for them

mrk are the X1's really inferior at everything? gaming, music and movies? obviously I will do some tests myself but if so Q701 is probably going to be my end game unless another deal like this comes along tbh.

Seriously the soundstage is the most spacious I've ever heard in a pair of headphones.

I think I might sell my lime Q701 and purchase the K712 Pro on Massdrop.

Is it just me or are the ear pads on the AKG Q701 not aligned? It seems mine aren't in the right orientation and I'm not sure which way they should be.

Narrow end to the front.

Which end is the front?

At the moment the thicker part of the earpads is pointing backwards.

A splitter will degrade the output power/quality. Swap headphones directly at the jack, not split them and hothead with them!

Bass mod makes no difference to soundstage to my ears and many others.

Do you have any recommendations for a 3.5 mm extension lead so that I won't have to reach behind my PC to unplug my headphones?

Any amps better than my Xonar Essence STX?
