Just ordered the 212's

Amazon.com has for 40 bucks w/ free shipping, like 10 bucks less than newegg. Hopefully all the good things you guys have said about em are true :)

Excellent choice!

Ask ANYONE here...they love 'em.:D

They are gonna sound really nice with that soundcard, you'll love 'em! For best quality though, make sure you have it plugged directly into your sound card:)

I'll do the soundcard then, was debating on whether I would want to plug in there, the front of my case, or the microphone plug on the volume controller for speakers ><

Try all 3, just to see how much better the sound card sounds. When I plugged mine into my headphone jack, I almost though about taking my 212's back, cause they sounded so crappy. The sound card was a whole other world for me.

If you have speakers that plug into the same output, then grab one of these guys and you'll be set:)

Or you can get one of those switchboxes that XP18004life has.:D

Here is a little pic for ya

That's pretty sleek/compact. I thought it was one of those medium square boxes.;)

I just switched from RS-65's (were great, but batteries started to die REALLY fast :confused::() to HD570's... To be honest, I can't hear the difference (but my wallet can :)).

The only thing I don't like is that it only turns off my front speakers. I have to either put my sound in 2.1 or turn off my speakers completely to switch to my 212's. I guess it's a small price to pay for efficiency:)

Hopefully I don't loose too much of the signal when I get my Ultra's:cool:

Got my 212s today, very impressed. How much do those little things cost xp1800? (the switches). There is a def difference between plugging in the headphones to soundcard and control pod but it's quite annoying to go to the back of the computer everytime i want to listen to the headphones.

I paid right around $11 I think, I don't remember the exact number. Sometime I'd like to see if there is a difference between the sound card and using the switch.

Glad to hear it. After a few days of constant use, the highs and mids should open up even more.:D

Using em more than my monsoons heh, sound better imo. floor doesnt shake but get the same amount if not more acoustic bass plus its much more clear.

So you like them?
Good becuase I'm getting them myself :D
