BuyDig Coupon: $20 off $100+ Orders with V.me by Visa: Audio-Technica ATH-A900X Headphones $150, Nintendo 3DS XL Handheld Console (Pink/White) $160, 2TB Western Digital My Passport

ATH-A900X or ATH-AD900? I have ATH-M50. Anyone?

ath-a900x - closed, supposed to be better on the bass than on the ath-m50, and basically improving everywhere else especially soundstage

i heard the ath-ad900's are also great if you like open cans. didn't read too much on its sound quality, but i assumed it's good.

i DID read that these products are plasticy, which i absolutely hate. if you're spending >80 on headphones, it should be void of plastic honestly.

I ordered the ATH-A900X Audio-Technica headphones on Wednesday, it had a will ship in 2-3 days (so I guess they were temp out of stock) well mine has not shipped yet, has anybodys shipped yet that ordered ordered Wed or after?

I also chose 3-7 day Free shipping method, I never purchased from BuyDig.com before, I know their headquarters are in NJ, is that also where they ship from? Thanks!

I also ordered on Wednesday, but have seen no change in order status. I called today and was told they would ship in two to three days. Amazon Prime sure does spoil a guy.

Inspecting the board where the connector was - it seems that on this drive, it is just soldered straight on with 5-6 soldering points - NONE of which go through the board. This is quite unlike their 2TB USB2 My Book where the tiny USB2 connector is supported by two plastic studs that go through the PCB board. And the power connector on both USB2 and USB3 is soldered with pins going though the board and an additional thicker plastic stud.

So if you intend to stick the cable in there and leave the thing stationary - you will most likely not have this problem.

HOWEVER if you do any amount of plugging it in and out, you must use EXTREME CAUTION or you will most likely break off the connector at some point.

The shop I bought it from had one raving review when I bought it from them - but when I went back after my problem, there were 7-8 other people with the exact same problem.

So it definitely looks like a terrible design which should never have been implemented, and can not have gone through any kind of real world testing. I am quite frankly disgusted at the QA process that let something like this go into the retail chain.

BUYER BEWARE!

If you google WD MY BOOK USB3 BROKEN CONNECTOR or similar, you should find people both on TomsHardware and on Western Digitals own community who have experienced this.

Amazon review. Iffy USB connector. Would still be ok if you leave the cable plugged into that end and just plug/remove the PC end.
