Female 3 pin mini xlr.

Thanks. Looking for short female mini XLR to female 3.5mm adapters now, so I can use the same cable as my X1's (Sennheiser Pro Coiled)

I think someone said they would get rid of theirs unopened if mrk gave them a bad review.

So you know what to do now mrk

mrk PLZ... Fix this

[rids57]

that would be RavenXX2 though I think he changed his mind after it was pointed out just how stupid it would be based on one review

 

[Cookeh]

How dare you convince him of the error of his ways!! You just screwed me out of my dream headphones ;(

 

[TwsT]

massdrop will come back around cookeh.































I HOPE

 

[rids57]

Wasn't me, that would be mrk and sonny

 

[shankly1985]

I could be game for one these massdrops.

 

[Hutchy]

No Royal Mail card yet. Even my stick on microphone someone suggested in here arrived before it!

 

[Cookeh]

massdrop will come back around cookeh.

I HOPE

Man, I've waited literally YEARS for a solid discount on either the K702 or Q701, when it finally arrives I miss out on it - TWICE!

On the plus side, the number of requests to get the deal again has surpassed 200 so it should be coming back. Should be. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

 

[rids57]

The K702's are only £162 these days without the wait and finger crossing (customs)

 

[Cookeh]

I know, but I'd prefer the Q701s. I think... Plus massdrop was still cheaper than that When I go back to Uni I shall have to have a long and hard look at the headphone market xD As long as I'm a student I'll only be able to afford one pair of hi-end head-fi so I'll have to make damn sure its the one for me!

iirc you have the K702s and are soon to get the Q701s? Would you mind doing a quick comparison for my sake?

 

[rids57]

Nope, I have the 702's (modded) but am not getting the Q701's due to the bumpy, uncomfortable mess of a headband.

 

[Cookeh]

Ah, my memory failed me. Bass modded, right? The few bits of literature Ive read on the Q701s headband seem to infer the headband is only an issue if one is somewhat lacking in the hair department? (No offense, just curiosity )

The bumpy headband is such a cheap and easy fix with professional results

none taken, I'm bald as a coot, which is why I went for the 702's and not the Q701's
To be fair, I have most often qualified the pain from the bumps with inadequate padding up top whenever I've mentioned it

What do you have in mind?

all you need to do is put some foam in between the bumps to fix it

plenty of mods to fix the bump issue
