Quote:   i used the headset that comes with the Xbox when you buy it.  I cut the end of the wire that attached to the actual headset portion of the entire thing and stripped the wire so that the ground for the mic portion and speaker portion as well as the live wires for each were...

I took an old Xbox headset and modded it so that there are two 3.5mm stereo jacks coming from it. One for the headset audio(I bridged the wire so that the mono signal comes through both left and right sides) and the other for the microphone.  I use my headphones with a Y cable to get my game...

Quote: I was thinking about getting an adapter like that and a splitter for my headphones as well. So that I could get the voice and game audio together.  I play a lot of Halo so I think I'd have to go this route because of the lack of in game volume settings.  Do you think the voice audio...

Quote: Does anybody have this kind of setup or can assist me?

I got my DSS and Steelseries mixer in the mail and they do both work together.  However, when using both the audio quality degrades a bit compared to when I plug directly into the DSS.  It seems to lose highs and mids.  Is there anyway I can hook this up so that I don't lose as much quality? Or...

Quote: What if I were to get a used Earforce DSS and use the Steelseries mixer for the microphone capabilities?

Quote: Thanks for the input.  What would be the best and most cost effective sound decoder/mixer? The Astro Mixamp is quite expensive but that's the only thing I have had experience with.  Is there something that is like it but much cheaper or should I just use an audio mixer? The SLYR...

Quote: Can anybody help me? I'm fairly new to gaming setups

I don't know if you guys can help but I'm trying to figure out a good setup for gaming and music.  I was thinking of either getting the Steelseries Audio Mixer, cheap clip on microphone, and CAL or just get the Monoprice 7.1 headset.  I'm mainly going to be using the headphones for music so I...

are the headphones any good for music? I've been looking for a good pair of headphones for music and gaming. I was gonna get the CAL!s but I couldn't figure out a way to use them to get game and chat sound through my xbox as well as use a microphone. I figured if these headphones sounded good I...

  Does anyone have experience with these headphones? I tried out the Pro DJ 100 and thought they were pretty good but I have no experience with the other headphones. Also what's the best way to connect headphones to my Xbox so that I can get the headset sound and game sound through them?

  I'm pretty much just using my Zune HD by itself.

I need some recommendations on headphones in the <$70 range I listen mainly to Rock, metal, classical, and instrumental music. I might use them for a little bit of audio mixing or gaming so maybe a decent soundstage would be nice. I like a good flat response. I really liked my JVC flats because...

Anybody have any suggestions? I was also looking at the Koss Pro DJ 100 as well. I'm probably only looking to spend $65 max
