Going to read while at work! Thanks :P

 

 

Edit: Read the review! Now if only I had that much money for headphones! I want a pair now... Thanks!

 

Great review. They layout was good it, it was extremely informative and I'm glad to know the bass doesn't drown anything out because I listen to a lot of bass heavy songs. Hardstyle woo! But this genre also has a lot of amazing melodies which are always mid-high so when you can't really hear them it's a shame.

What I like most is they'll absolutely hit you with crazy deep bass, but only when the song intends the bass to be in your face, things don't get over or underemphasized I really love that about them.

There's a few songs I've listened to on them that literally made my ears flex back and forth like half an inch in each direction with the bass lol, yet they're able to handle the littlest details in acoustic or jazz with no problem at all.

I'll come to, that way I can finish my setup+build :)

 

 

Performance pc's still hasnt gotten the crap I need in stock and they're not supposed to for like 2 weeks, so I'm going to just finish my setup NOW and deal with air cooling for a while. 

 

My desk is literally falling apart, and I need to finish painting my room so I can get that done and out of the way.  My build alteast looks nice + works fine air cooled so I can deal with it for a while.

 

My setup looks like ass TBH, despite having so many nice things.  I think my room deserves a bit of treatment + so does my PC + other setup pieces, I'm gonna go to IKEA this week and get a desk and take pictures for you guys.

 

 

 

This is what I want to do, and then have my PC sit on the side table thing:

actually sounds like a good plan, if we do well enough maybe we can steal the whole store and make an outdoor house with all the pieces next to the power plant so we can get electricity

We can build the house, and the power plant! Nevermind all them custom desks for the PCs! Heck we rob the IKEA we can all build replicas of your headphones and sell them for 75% RRP

Do you guys want more pictures of the cables in the build?

 

I'll spend like 30 mins trying to get the best pictures I can if so

Here's some pictures, I tried my best to do better with the camera but it really really sucks guys..  I have to order another cable comb (24 pin) to put on my PCI-E cables, because I broke it on accident trying to snap some of the wires in.  (Some of the wires have 2 wires in them because of the pin-out on my PSU, so they're a tiny bit thicker)

 

Also the blue SP120 in the front is a work in progress, I'm testing out different yellows on rings to find one that matches a bit better than what I'm using now, so I left a blue ring on it.

All my fans are at 5 volts and it's overclocked to 4.4ghz, it idles around ~10 degrees over room temp

 

 

Also I should add that my PC is never idle, as I run a minecraft server and teamspeak server 24/7. If I was to turn those off it probably would run at like 28c idle or so

Guys I got my new desk from IKEA!

 

I have to finish painting the baseboards but I'm out of masking tape so It'll have to wait a few days!

 

I have a new Amplifier for my LCD-2's showing up Wednesday, that'll help tidy up the cables from the headphone

Uhm, I must have missed it, or not, but you just painted that ring on the Corsair SP120 (?) right? And how did you sleeve those cables and where did you get the sleeves? I wanna make my system look clean (upcoming system)

Yeah I painted the Rings myself and the cables are from icemodz.

I have also bought from Icemodz (after seeing this thread) and I am quite happy with the results. They are my first set of custom cables so I can't compare Icemodz cables and others that are more/less expensive, but I have had no issues with them. They look great and deliver power (which is what matters). My only complaints are that he is based in Iceland, so shipping took about a week for me (I live on the East coast of the U.S.), and my 8-pin CPU cable came pre-curved in the wrong direction, but that may just be my Motherboard (or operator error by me). Either way, it was an easy fix of just bending it the other way :) I definitely recommend this guy.

 

P.S. Make sure to get cable combs!

 

EDIT: So I had an issue with my 24 pin cable, just talked to them and the're gonna replace it. Super nice customer support.

I visited his site, but I'm not quite sure how I can get custom cables, whether I e-mail him or just buy from the webstore, which cable/ cable sleeves (I want a black and red themed system), shipping, etc., but I know that the PSU I have is on his list, AX860.

If you use the built in chat on his page, he'll walk you through the whole thing. That's what he did for me.  He's a great guy!

 

 

There's a site I mentioned a few pages back that you can use to set-up which colors you want, then you can just send him the picture of what colors you want.
