Didn't know about those drivers nameless.  I guess they don't really apply to me though since my U3 uses the same chip as the U1, which isn't in those drivers.  Anyhow, I still say on the whole the ASUS drivers are far...

I think that setup will be just fine.  I use almost the exact same setup on my PC- PC360 headset plus Xonar U3, which is ASUS' USB sound card (I have to use a USB sound card since my computer is an SFF mITX gaming case and only...

Finally got around to doing a cable mod on my PC360s.  Now they're even better paired with the mixamp because there isn't a ridiculous 9 foot cord between the two now- just a short 2.5-3ft cable, which is also...

"Death trap" may be a bit of an exaggeration but it just so happens that also in the town where I grew up there was a high school student killed by a car just a few weeks ago, she was also wearing headphones when she was hit.  It...
