Customer might be a born-again ex smoker, going through that stage of hypersensitivity where if you even show something a cigarette it will "stink." It's a bad stage, for self and others. Been there, done that.

Or customer might just be an idiot. Or both.

I picked up a second-hand HD800 a few years ago that had a godawful smell of acrid, stale sweat; thank god for replacement pads and headband cushion. I'd have preferred a smoker's stink.

So got it in, to my nose familiar with the smell of cigarettes/weed/cigars I would recognize. Smelling this Clear it smelled but not like any of those. Smelled industrial in a way.

Looked it up and the unit had replaced driver and seems like this was the source of the smell.

Customer appropriately embarrassed, I expect!

Classic toddler

Yeah I looked up his serial number with all our returned models to see if there was a match, nope. I got a remote and a replacement cable packed up and label made, was maybe 30 mins from dropping it off when he said, whoops!

Toddler stole my remote and cable to play with.

No good deed goes unpunished dude.

What a waste of your time. Some people have no shame when demanding assistance from others.

I told this to a friend and he brought up a good point. Headphones.com is such a generic website name it causes people to go to us for help on headphones.

It was real uncool he name drops an IEM I sell to turnaround and its not actually right item. Frustrating since he got it in his phone carrier who could have done the setup for him in a minute.

At cost means msrp?

Checked with him its an XC3 Ultra and he was looking for $600 on it

Wouldn't mind it but I am in Europe so... but for 600it will go fast, if it has warranty.

Hanging out with a buddy tomorrow who has some unopened matte 600 pads so we can go ahead and try them out at least. Also can take some quick measurements with his EARS

under Mao you would be forced to give us all sum of DA SUSVARAs and 3 RAALs per person.

That poster has probably never experienced one moment of racism in his life but I bet he's been disliked many a times.

"A little racist"

At least he didn't call you a /big/ racist!

Seems to me that he is /big/ ignorant. Does he not have a clue about geography, locations, countries, borders, race, and the differences?

He ended up canceling the order anyway but I now wonder how often this happens with an Amazon since Topping comes out with so many flipping models.

I WAS considering getting my quite-basically flat HD600 pads swapped out but......... no I think I'll hold onto them. Headband may warrant a swap though.

Quick aside: anywhere I can get just the one plastic tab to hold the silly thing in place?

At least we get a warning and not a silent change I guess.

@yotacowboy "OH HERE COMES THE NERVOUSA"

You think it's only Americans?


;) lol, I love a good typo.
(Or wait... Is it spelt that way and this is the first time I read it as -usa?)

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

Dang! You need a varmint rifle!

Does it have Jazz hands?

I am lucky if people my age in NL get their vaccine in June. NL is lagging behind and trust in the vaccination is wavering. Take care.

I return, Saturday I was feeling fine most of the day. Had dinner with the family, played some video games but started to get a headache. Trying to sleep Saturday was miserable since I think a raccoon got into the attic and was making a ton of noise. Barely slept at all.

Sunday I had a splitting headache all day, really bed ridden and miserable. Took a rather high dose edible to even try to fall asleep at night.

Monday, little bit of lingering head pain, took the day off work to rest a little more. But mid day I was at least feeling 90% strength and was actually able to get out of bed.

I got Moderna and so did most of the family, my mom was out with similar symptoms after her second dose also but hers lasted a few more days than mine. Overall glad to have gotten the vaccination out of the way.

Shopify was cool, I had the email logs and the dude literally did a chargeback the day after I refunded him. They ruled in our favor almost immediately in our favor.

86% of people who bite my butt at work are those whom I do a favor to. Stopped doing favors since I realized that...

Where do these shitty behavious originate from? It is a side effect of Amazon's 'customer is never wrong' approach to retail? I never used to read about people doing habitual returns or being hostile toward businesses like this. The only charge back I've ever enacted was because an entire discography of CDs was never sent, the band refused to talk to me and I had one day left to do something about it.

Lol. Smart choice (and the only logical one really, my suggestion was a joke). Unless of course it were to escalate, in which case, just report to police.

Also, two more things I can see. He is using his school email which I looked up and it is primary school in Sweden so he really is young. Also it has his full first and last name which is... Very Swedish and statistically speaking very unlikely he is black!

Could be a hacked email account as well.

So what you are going to do?

Congrats!

@YMO Will be a part of their CS team along with the Content team. Looking forward to it

... Soon where I will be going but decided to take a little time off for now. Been working nonstop since January 2020 so wanted to spend some time resting. I will still be involved in the headphone biz!

Good luck with your new adventure!

Best wishes on your new adventure. I look forward to hearing where you go next.

This was on Christmas Eve and had to get towed back to my house. Upshot at least was my package I was picking up was a PS5!

Damn that sucks about your car.

Oh dang man! That does suck. Threw a rod or valve maybe?

Ouchy.... that's not what you want to see on a $900 item...

I've been loving my gen 4 m.2, load times in older games like Skyrim are so fast you can't even read the tips.

Newegg has been doing bundles to beat bots so I had to buy the m.2 to get the cpu. I considered returning it since the 2tb was so expensive but decided to keep it. Build is going to be pretty overkill for my needs lol.

I am excited for this round. I like what Dr. Lisa Su has pulled off.

That being said, I am prob going to step up my 3080 to a 3080 ti when those launch and sit on it for a couple of generations like my 1080ti

Going the same route. Snatched a 3080 FWT3 Ultra and gonna step up to a TI or 3090. Also much cheaper than going full retail.

The amd gpus are pretty good, I think after using the 3080 fe for a little bit now, I want to probably get a quieter card in the future. No rush for me, maybe a 3080ti but not sure totally just yet. Will see how the benchmarks compare on the ti.

We have got two of those in the acoustics lab at my college, along with a lot of other b&k stuff.
