Wayne, I appreciate you taking time to reply in such detail. It didn't occur to me to check completed eBay listing until you mentioned it. You were right on both, receiver and speakers estimates side. I was more or less on target with the receiver (it has DD 5.1 and DTS decoders, btw) but...

Hi all, I'm forced to get rid of one of my two home theater setups. :frowning: I'm considering either selling it all on eBay or on these forums, selling it to a friend of mine at a *very* generous discount or donating to write it off. Here's what I have: - Marantz SR-7000 receiver (approx...

Resurrecting an old post of mine. :) Got Sennheiser RS-130 about a week ago. I wanted to like them but I'm afraid I'll be sending them back. I get a lot of static from them. There must be some interference in the room because audio cuts off if I walk to the kitchen, which is about 20+ feet...

Yes, sorry. Should've written output. It's basically one of those Phone outs on the front plate. I tested it on both receivers using the same headphones and connector. On the one where it worked fine TV broadcast didn't sound 100% balanced so I tried it with different source, using one of my...

I have two Marantz receivers, SR8000 and SR7000. Plugged in headphones into phones input on my primary 4+ years old receiver (SR8000) for the first time today. The problem is, I only get left channel in the headphones. Tried the same headphones with the same connector on SR7000 upstairs and...

Dustin, Thanks for the url. Interesting read. Considering the problems headphones designers have to deal with and my budget, I'll try to get something locally. That's so that I can return it if I absolutely can't stand the new headphones. As Tyson pointed out, RS 140 might be more...

Ari, Thanks for the confirmation. Dustin, Mackie, Thanks for the explanation. I tried some headphones way back and got a bad headache after using them for a while. The only thing I recall about them is that they were circumaural. Based on some I suppose common knowledge, which...

According to Sennheiser's web site, HD580 have "Circumaural" ear coupling. Doesn't that make 'em fully sealed? RS 120 on the other hand have "Supraural" ear coupling, which I guess is what qualifies them as open. I could be off on this though. Any comments?

Aren't those hd580 fully sealed? At least they look that way judging by the picture. RS 120's cones (is that the right term?) on the other hand look flat. I also failed to mentioned that I'm specifically looking for wireless headphones as my couch is at least 14 feet away from the TV.

I'm thinking about getting Sennheiser RS 120 headphones for nighttime TV listening. I would've gotten RS 130 or RS 140 if I could handle fully sealed headphones. Unfortunately, I can't as I get a headache from sealed headphones hence the RS 120 choice. I'd appreciate if you share your...

Seth, I'm on quite frequently. I tend to play plain TS or Slayer. You're welcome to send me friends request. G/Tag UncleSam1

I won't be getting new maps and will wait until they are free (August 30th I believe). I of course have 2 new free maps already.

Invite is on its way.

Man... this thread is doomed now. :)

Hey guys, I'm looking for a partner for the new 2x2 TS (aka Double Team). I'm gonna be on every other day or so after 9 or 10pm. Let me know if you're interested. My G/Tag is UncleSam1.

Anyone interested in teaming up for X/Live 2x2 TS games?

I had fun too. Carlo, thanks for hosting it. I wouldn't mind having a weekly or semi-weekly get together like that. Having 384Kbps upload I'm not sure if my connection is fat enough to host big games. Anyone knows the bandwidth requirements for Halo 2?

Don't know if that will be a simultaneous release for PC, PS2 and Xbox but I'll be getting it for Xbox.

I certainly am. ;) Single player looks great and multiplayer seems to be shaping up quite nicely. Team Xbox on Area 51 (lots of gameplay footage). What do you all think?

Carlo, I'm in too (UncleSam1). Haven't played in few months so I'm a bit rusty. As far as the time goes, #3 and #2 in this order.

I'll be signing in tonight at 9PST or so.

I'll be on.

Richard, I've sent you a clan invite last night.

Hey Brook, Since we're practically neighbors :), may be we can hook up for few TS games. I'll send you a friends invite.

Carlo, it was nice playing with you guys last night. I joined you for the last few games. I thought we did all right we the exception of that very last game. I've made a mental note to stop rushing towards the opponents. This FFA Rumble Pit habit of mine doesn't work well on TS as I think...

Hey Mark, didn't you say you are unstopable with rockets? :) We should play rockets-only next time / sometimes.

I've had lots of fun playing with you all last night. Carlo, good job putting it together. Hope we'll do it again soon.

I've been mostly playing Rumble Pit lately. Didn't really get into objective based types of H2 games. I don't know, I'm just used to FFA and TS, and anything other than that confuses the hack out of me (probably cause I haven't played them at all). If we get to play objective based games...

I'm on East Coast but I should be able to play for an hour or two. Count me in. G/Tag: UncleSam1

I rarely see anyone play anymore. We used to have fun custom games. I'll be up for some custom games or clan matches. I typically sign on around 10/11 EST for an hour or so. Live g/tag UncleSam1.
