better than another idea I heard, which was to tape a sanitary towel on the lower surface.

LMAO

I swear, that's what somebody did over on Head-fi

Apparently you can buy knitted covers on the bay too

See a few people using velcro seat belt pads too, probably kid sized.

Should I be expecting these soon? I purchased during the second wave of the offer.

mrk · 16 Jul 2014 at 16:00

Not before me! Mine ate not here yet

Mine were second lot and not arrived yet. Hope to be here next week latest.

Keeping fingers crossed we have ours in hand by Saturday, optimistic I know but I am getting eager to try them now

Love the Q701 but can't help wanting to upgrade after 3 years with them so going to check out the K812 when I am back in the US later this year.

It's as if they heard you....

Massdrop AKG K812 Headphones - $1200

rids57 · 17 Jul 2014 at 04:25

Nice if you've got £700 - that's a cool saving of £300, so not too shabby

^JP^ · 17 Jul 2014 at 09:24

Thanks but I am not going to buy them without a demo first, I plan to try a few different higher end headphones out at a store in Florida this September.

Akagi · 17 Jul 2014 at 10:27

OOoooOoOoOOOOOooooh check you out!

mrk · 17 Jul 2014 at 10:35

Damn, those K812s must sound beastly. Good saving

A few people on mass drop from UK saying they have got theirs and they had no vat/RM fee to pay.

Maybe mine will arrive today then

If that's true then my streak of getting no import tax at all this year for any purchase yet from USA/China/HK will continue woop!

Out of interest, what is the name of the store? My gf is currently in FL and I'm trying to persuade her to hit a few audio shops looking for deals

Earphone Solutions in Orlando or Sweet Home Audio in Tampa/Clearwater.
If I have no luck with them I may travel to Miami as there are quite a few good stores there.

Akagi · 17 Jul 2014 at 11:25

Have so many packages on the way... Hopefully I'll have some when I get home today, and hopefully these will be among them. I can't wait to listen to them back to back with my X1's

Kanifee · 17 Jul 2014 at 12:19

My postman has just been.
