VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The audio quality is excellent and this product provides a unique dimension to critical headphone monitoring. Feature: The different monitor speaker settings are sufficient to get a unique perspective for monitor mixes. Ease of Use: This product is definitely easy to use. Some additional explanation regarding the S/PDIF override to the USB streaming would have been helpful. Quality: It is helpful to understand that the audio processing is performed in the attached computer and if there isn't adequate spare MIPS, this could affect the audio performance. There is a utility that is included that controls the buffer size. This is critical to obtaining excellent audio performance. The documentation doesn't clearly describe where and how to adjust the buffer size. The USB driver occasionally locks up but can be easily restarted... Something to improve in the next driver release. Value: This unique product is definitely worth the price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any so I'm giving them a "10" The Wow Factor: Definitely a very sexy product and performs as advertised. Overall: Just buy it, you won't be sorry. Whoever is living with you will truly appreciate the new dimension of monitor mixing via headphones. Silence to others is bliss...

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Never got it to work. Feature: Never got it to work. Ease of Use: I have a Lenovo W520 and run 64-bit Win7 Pro, and although drivers installed and the VRM Box console seemed to recognize the unit, I couldn't get the MME driver to respond with Reason 5 and the latest version of Reaper. I really want an ASIO driver so I can use it with Cubase (with only a USB connection), but it is not an ASIO device and you would have use another ASIO interface's S/PDIF output to connect the VRM Box (who wants to do that?). I have lots of audio interfaces, and have not had this type of problem getting any of those other units to work first try. After a couple of weeks of sending emails back and forth to their support, and trying drivers downloaded from their site, I gave up and returned the device. I figure that, if they are smart, they will come out with an ASIO version of it soon, and I might try that. It is very odd that they put it out without an ASIO driver. Quality: Never got it to work. Value: Never got it to work. Manufacturer Support: Their email support responded after some days, which is acceptable, but not great. They never get it to work, and just said to load their most current drivers, so I can't say their advice was acceptable. The Wow Factor: I would like a product like this that works plug-in-play (without the S/PDIF daisy chain thing), and prefer to have an ASIO driver. Overall: Never got it to work.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
