Great Job, very well written. Hopefully this will bat down some of the same questions over and over again. Ugh, "5.1 Gaming headphones" I've heard some people that actually think they're good. Can't wait for future updates.

@pho
i was planning on making new foobar guide... but the latest foobar doesn't too much tweaking....
i'd stick with foobar 0.9.5.3, the latest foobar is having major incompatibility issue with some of the plugins/components/skins.

I think one thing you should note is uncertified retailers.

There are alot of people out there selling knock off senn's and others, especially in the IEM variety, but also people selling all kinds off other fakes. Many sites that sell the ATH-ES7s for instance.
