Picked up a set of Altec Lansing buds this week, waiting for them to reach.

I Find Websource to Be Very Unreliable and Very Expensive compared to many other Skyboxes
I no longer with them (from Earlier this year) since I have Had Similar Problems and also they dont give you a a Copy of the Customs Document so you have No either of what Customs really charged them. You are obligated to Pay whatever they Write on there own Invoice.
You should go in and Demand a Refund (make sure ad have you Invoice of the Cost you Paid for it)
Electronic (In you case speakers) is 20% DUTY + 15 VAT.

This is what I know for duties on electronics, I calculated it & it really shouldn't be that much. I mean I've had no complaints about their reliability as I've always gotten my stuff on time & in good order. But I really find something wrong with that invoice. Say wha u live & u learn

[iM@st@1]

So despite the customs rape got my pros & i must say it's a very well constructed headphones. The feel is solid & it looks even better than the pics.

Comes in a nice carrying case with one straight cable 3.5mm (length ca. 0.8 m) & one coiled (length > 3 m) 6.3mm with gold-plated connectors. Also a spare set of earpads. Played a couple songs on my iphone with it so far & it sounds really crisp & clean. Nice amt of bass as well, not overwhelming with the volume all the way up but jus right. It's comfortable as well, very snugg fit, not tight. But the real testing will be when i get home & plug in to my computer which is what these are for. Heard they need to be 'broken' in a lil tho so maybe after a week i'll let u guys know the scene. I'm no audiophile so if i sounding a lil noobish is because i am. Bless

[casper]

oh my gawd those look sexayyyy

[iM@st@1]

Really impressed with this set of cans, i'm hearing things i didn't even know were there compared with my previous usb headset. Needless to say i'm done with usb sets.

The bass is really crisp & punchy without being to overwhelming. At full volume no distortions or crackling,just loud crystal clear sound. Movies/games really come to life with these cans, u feel fully immersed in surround sound. The soundstage is very strong, these do come with huge 50mm drivers. Music sounds alot nicer as well although i mainly listen thru my pc speakers. I'm guessing an amp should be used to supplement these although its impedance isn't that high (64 Ohms). My soundcard has a built in amp so it sounds really excellent.

They're pretty comfortable but not for very long periods, sum ear strain will take place. The g930 is def more forgiving after a long session. May opt to replace the earpads in the future for something softer. Build quality is superb, it feels very well constructed. Looks wise it's nothing really flashy, the g930 looks better imo. But i can forgo looks for a superior device anyday. I could see myself holding on to this headphones for a long time.

My overall conclusion is i'm very pleased with my purchase, these cans are a sweet upgrade from my usb set. All my media sounds 10 times better & i don't have to worry about charging it.

[casper]

did it come with that headset stand or did you buy that???

headset looks nicer than the logitech IMO though...simpler and just nice...color tones making it look rich too...excellent review bro!!!

cd spindle w/ sum double sided tape

I know this is probably not the right thread but anyway, my earbuds decided to stop working and I definitely won't carry the Tactic3dSigma to work. So now I looking for a decent-ish pair of earbuds. Saw some skullcandy ink'd selling in the misc. section a while back. Are those any good? And if not, what is?

[casper]

shure makes some of the best earbuds around but they're rel expensive though...whats ur budget?

Have a look @ this thread. Very informative, I actually made my decision to purchase my current cans using the info I found in here. There is a section concerning ear buds

[DVSTT]

Guys, how long you think the ATH-M50's lifespan would be?

[squazzo]

I have one about 3 years now, still going ... but I don't think you want to see it. Stopped caring for it after friend broke the cable but it still works/sounds good.

[DVSTT]

WOW, how it still playing if the cable broke though? I was reading online and people were saying 10 years and i wasn't sure if to believe it or not.

[casper]

Yea I have a friend with one of those same audio techicas and he has it like 5 years now.still looks new and sounds like day 1

[kurpal_v2]

Casper, how much you think those ATH-M50 would cost landed?

[squazzo]

Replaced cable and have been abused badly since then. Will be replacing with denon 2000 soon

[DVSTT]

Casper, how much you think those ATH-M50 would cost landed?
