  1. I've bought these 2 months ago for £230 and literally couldn't be happier! Fantastic pair of headphones. Feel extremely high quality with no plastic insight. Just from personal experience I will be getting a Fiio E10K since the DAC on my motherboard sometimes can't get them loud enough in some audio sources. They sound better with the Fiio DAC (my friend let me test with his) compared to my motherboard; nothing ground braking but enough for me to justify a purchase.

    Pretty fun yet scary experience since I really didn't want to lose my work considering that it has to be in by the end of next week xD This is what it looked like when I got my dad to hold the needles which were connected to a salvaged old USB cable then ran through a USB extension cable. This is what it looked like: http://puu.sh/lR62N/c3be5b1ee0.jpg

      Oh shit lol.

  4. It's the first big update for Windows 10. You can find out all about it HERE. Think of it as a small service pack or something along those lines.
  5. Import taxes won't affect OP since they are in EU and so is the product (Correct me if I'm wrong). It would be another story if they were buying from a country outside of EU like United States or Japan. All OP would worry about at that point is shipping prices and like you mentioned the warranty may not apply but usually for those kind of items it covers the product globally or at least in the EU. Also make sure that the PSU has a European plug otherwise you may end up with a UK plug. It is likely that it will have both.
  6. The WASD Keyboards V2 could suit you well since you can customise it however you want and they come in UK ISO TKL model which I'm assuming you are looking for. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/mechanical-keyboard/wasd-v2-88-key-iso-custom-mechanical-keyboard.html
  7. Is your TV set as the primary display (Display 1) ? If not then that might be why EDIT: This might be helpful: Found HERE
  8. I sometimes get those strikes of inspiration and I just happened to hear that song in my head when watching the video
  9. So I've figured I'll make another masterpiece for this thread... well at least I tried Right click the video below and click unmute!!! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71228105/Forum%20pics/video.webm
  10. Pretty sure it's official. Linus mentioned it a while back in one of the videos that he uploads stuff there but it doesn't get him much traffic as you can imagine.
  11. ;_; please don't say that... I want to live a life not knowing such things.
  12. Yeah I think that you are right about the guys like you wouldn't learn much about them but like you said I could try and write it more towards gamers and personal opinion. As for the DAC I might consider it in the future but right now I need to control myself since I've spent way too much in the past few weeks and as a student I won't be able to handle any more large expenses for a while
  13. @STRMfrmXMN @ShearMe Just an update, I ended up going with the Philips Fidelio X2 on their own and they arrived today. I must say that so far I love them; really comfortable, really high quality materials and sound amazing with the bass being nice and punch but without shaking your head which is exactly what I wanted. So far I don't really see a reason to get the Fiio E10K to go with them with maybe the only reason being is that the coil whine from my GPU when it is stressed in some games adds a slight noise when everything is silent but it's hardly noticeable and most silent so I think so far the headphones on their own will do the job Might do a review about them at some point. Would you guys be interested to see that?
  14. Yeah the sound effects are really good! Definitely to a standard where I could close my eyes and feel as if I was watching a battle scene in a Star Wars movie.
  15. I'm considering in going a little over my budget and getting the Philips Fidelio X2 and the FiiO E10K even though they will come to about £250. Would you say it's worth the extra money over the DT770s? P.S. Do you have any experience with any of those headphones or the FiiO E10K?
  16. Quite a lot of them do if you look here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abeyerdynamic&keywords=beyerdynamic&ie=UTF8&qid=1443911833&spIA=B00THKPJ5A
  17. Current status Currently I am using the Sony MDR-XD200 over-ear headphones that are directly connected to my motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth Rev 3.0). So as you can tell it’s not amazing and I want to change that. The main thing I'm looking for in the new setup is for it to make the sound more clear and keep the bass punchy but without it overpowering the mids and highs. Sound reference Here is a few reference points to give you an idea of how they will be used. In terms of music, I listen to every genre out there but more precisely usually it’s any genre around Chill or EDM. Here are a few songs to give you an idea of what I listen to (If you need more music reference look HERE): Oh Wonder - Lose It (Jerry Folk Remix) Curbi - Rubber (Original Mix) Diplo & Sleepy Tom - Be Right There Ollie Crowe - Stay (Original Mix) Eden - XO (Monkey Punch Remix) Mr FijiWiji - Out on a Limb (feat. Jonny Rose) Vicetone - Nothing Stopping Me Ft. Kat Nestel Misun - Eli Eli (Maduk Remix) As for games I mostly play Action/FPS/RPG games such as Borderlands, Battlefield, Rocket League, Diablo III, Grand Theft Auto V, etc. Requirements & Preferences Everything needs to be under £200. At least one item needs to be on Amazon UK since I have a £25 voucher I would like to use. Please check the pricing and availability in UK before recommending anything. Thank you! The headphones need to be over-ear. Can be closed or open headphones as long as they meet the other requirements and are suitable for my use case (refer to Sound reference) The size isn't really an issue since my current headphones are quite large and I don’t mind it. Considering that I'm using the motherboard currently to drive the headphones, if required or better off please recommend a DAC/AMP that would be suitable. Not a fan of coiled/"hard to keep straight" wires but if there is a good enough reason to get headphones that has one I could deal with it. Don’t want headsets just headphones. I don't mind any design for headphones as long as they are not in "random/sharp hard to match with anything" colours. If you have any experience with the items you recommend or with items that someone else recommended please feel free to share your opinions. Ask for anything else if you need more info. Thank you for helping
  18. I'm pretty sure they have discontinued it so unless you find some left over in shops like Overclockers UK, Scan, eBuyer, etc. or on eBay then you probably won't be able to get it. The closes thing to it will be the Ducky Zero Shine TKL that I linked in the previous post. It's very similar to the Shine 3 but has some differences. Look on the web and there should be some comparisons between the two.
  19. Well I have a Shine 3 TKL and I would recommend it if you can still find one. Apart from that you can get a hold of: ROCCAT Ryos TKL Pro Filco Majestouch 2 TKL Max Blackbird Tenkeyless CM Storm NovaTouch TKL CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid-i Corsair K65 Corsair Gaming K65 RGB Das Keyboard 4C Professional Topre Realforce 88UB Ducky Zero Shine TKL P.S. @robertdenia make sure that you follow your own threads/topics using the button on the far right side of the title "Follow this topic" so that you receive notifications whenever people reply in your thread/topic. You can also follow your own topic/thread when creating it. There is a tick box on the right sidebar next to the editor.
  20. Well both the new and the old ones are still working so If it does end up being deactivated then it's not a big loss since I'm getting it for free.
  21. My friend got his new one about a week ago. They sent him a box and fire resistant chippings (or something like that) to put the old tablet in and send it back... Which he hasn't done since when he asked them if he can dispose of the tablet on his own they said he can, so he went and got a new battery for it and I'm inheriting it for free
  22. For the price it looks pretty solid and should be fine for 1080p games with most maxed and maybe with the highly demanding AAA games needing to be tweaked down. That anti-static wrist and those cable ties should provide a solid +10FPS boost to all of your games so a good choice there /s
  23. Could be brutal and make a fake letter from your ISP saying that any further illegal downloads will result in a termination of your connection and lawsuit. Pretend as if you picked it up so your parents didn't see it to save his bacon and he might stop
  24. ... and this is how you discourage a young generation from exceeding and following their dreams. The kid is clearly passionate about his electronics and is likely among the people that will follow on to do a highly advanced job in the future to help improve other peoples lives and make new inventions. Now by treating him like a criminal because he wanted to show off his project and most likely judging him by following the stereotypes really doesn't help anything, likely slightly discouraged the kid and give him a bad impression about what people might think about the things he makes. Honestly think it was a wrong thing to do and people should have taken less drastic actions rather than panicking and causing the whole thing to hit the news headlines as a result.
  25. EA allowing for a game to be delayed? To meet fan expectations?... What am I reading Well lets hope it's worth the wait
