I found it's only a problem when I'm watching a film in my bedroom while I'm lying down. It's only in moments of dialogue that it distracts me. When in front of my computer listening to music, the cable noise doesn't bother me.

I tested my X2's for the first time last night. Whilst I still have a lot of testing to go, I wanted to ask whether anyone else found the cable incredibly noisy? The braiding is abrasive and the noise it generates when rubbing against your clothing is incredibly loud in the earcups. Even...

  At first I was concerned by the earpad material. I have a beard and I found the material slightly irksome on the areas of my jaw that had stubble and thick hair, but after an hour or so of listening with them the ever-so-slight irritation never increased or worsened. No headphones will feel...

  Companies rarely ever state this, but this is law and supersedes companies' private policies.

  I was thinking that myself, so I guess I'm in the clear. Very odd. I shan't complain though. xD

My K7XX's arrived today, much to my surprise. And no fees. None. Package is marked at $199, and the postman just left them by the back door. Either he decided not to charge me, I will receive an invoice for payment shortly, or there was no duties calculated by customs. Gonna try them now with my...

  I had never heard of a €10 administrative fee before, and I've imported plenty of things from the States before. I know they tax shipping, but if I buy an item from the States that offers free international shipping, DHL or whoever will just make up their 'statistical' shipping rate and...

  I just looked into it and it appears that €80 is what I should be expecting. I contacted DHL regarding my €40 charge for the $80 package from Audio-GD, and according to the invoice there was a €10 "administrative fee", which duty calculator does not seem to...calculate. There was also VAT not...

  Not awkwardly; normally. They were wrapped carefully—with the jack being kept as straight as possible—inside the included pouch.

  Yeah, I'm starting to regret not doing it your way.     I was also charged €40 yesterday for the NFB-15, even though Audio-GD said they would mark the package at $80. Maybe they did, but €40 is what the charge is for an $80 package. If Audio-GD had marked it at the full value ($300), it...

  €80...dafuq?! 25% of $230 is not €80. It should be more like €45-55. Well, according to dutycalculator.com, it should be €49.

  Yeah, I'm expecting a chunk of import duties. I could have sent the package to a friend in the States and avoided as high duties, but I figured I was already saving quite a bit of money than buying the Annies (though the Annies are made in Austria versus China like the K7XX's) and using...

  Shipping was actually quite reasonable with Massdrop, considering it's going across the US and then from the US to Ireland.

  Why are you doing that, do you mind me asking? Is it to make sure it's in full working condition?

  Mine too. They'll take a fairly long time, though, as they are not being shipped directly to Europe from Massdrop.
