AKG Q701 - Roughly £100 before duty

Most problems are due to noise on the USB power lines and a powered hub wouldn't get rid of that. The Schiit decrapifier acts as a powered hub but it also filters out noise and cleans up the digital signal. I know digital is ones and zeroes but noise can blur the distinction between the two.

One thing that does need saying, you only need a decrapifier or powered hub if you are having problems - most people don't.

Our warehouse team is working on getting these packed up and out the door today! We will update the group as soon as all of the orders have been shipped.

Any recommendations for a good headphone stand guys?

Cheers,

Su

Depends on your budget really, there are plenty of cheap hanger type options available.

The Silvertsone EBA01 looks pretty nice (reminds me a lot of my HPS-T from Woo Audio).

Have on on my desk waiting for the x1's to arrive

More desk clutter, you can get one from the rainforest that is wall mountable. I just mounted mine under my desk. Works great.

Good call dude - could you share some pics? I guess you just mounted it along the side edge or something?

I got the one with the clamp, No screws needed.

Yeah? Well I still like my Rooms Headphone stand, it keeps the cable tidy too

Sumanji · 11 Sep 2014 at 20:33

SHIPPED.

So excited. May wet myself

Got an amazing email from mass drop today. after chasing up my order and receiving a reply letting me know that they had no sign of it at the warehouse yet today received another email stating they had a replacement pair that are being shipped asap for me.

Over the moon is a understatement.

How much did they go for this time?

Psycho Sonny · 13 Sep 2014 at 08:32

They got more than they estimated or something so put the same deal on.
They also stated it's likely the last time you will see them for that price.

It was very limited numbers, nothing like the first drop

Nice

Really wanted one but couldn't justify the cost right now.

rids57 · 13 Sep 2014 at 17:03

Looks great but I'd need two

mrk · 13 Sep 2014 at 17:23

The brown does look rather nice actually! Shame it wouldn't go with the rest of my desk decor (black

).
