    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    Thank you. I will wait for the HD6xx to go on sale and hope for the best as it comes to driving it directly from the motherboard. Really wish I could just keep using the Bose on the computer but I can't for safety reasons. EDIT: Product description on Drop says that the 6xx was Sennheiser's...

    Question about Dolby Atmos and the Windows software on your computer

    I purchased the Dolby Atmos license/program on Windows. I used to use it quite often, but mostly for gaming (to apparently increase the positional accuracy of game sounds). As it relates to music, you can definitely hear a change. It's more apparently (in my non-expert opinion) on Tidal Hi-Fi...

    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    Thanks! Is it absolutely necessary to have the DAC/amp (if just for PC gaming, youtube, netflix) that type of thing? Is the motherboard's audio not good enough to power the 6xx? I don't mind that there's no volume/powersupply on the headset since I would use the PC to control that stuff.

    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    I will look into the 6xx. Quick Googling makes it seem like they are essentially identical to the 650? What has your experience been like with the 6xx as it pertains to the cushions wearing out and having to buy new ones? Very frequent? Expensive? EDIT: Can they be properly driven by just...

    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    You are completely right--comfort is probably the biggest thing. I am spoiled with the comfort levels of the Bose series. Are there any open back ones you'd recommend with high comfort levels?

    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    Hello all, I am in need of open back headphones for gaming since my current headphones (Bose QC25) are no longer good for my current environment. I adore the comfort in the Bose (although not a fan of having to replace the ear cushions almost annually) since I do wear them for usually 12 hours...

    THanks! I ended up buying the one you had linked earlier. So far so good!

    Best short headphones extension cable?

    Wonderful, thank you! Last thing, do you think this one: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Extension-Headphone-Extender-Compatible/dp/B08S6WGZ1F would be any better? The only negative is that it's 3ft instead of the 1.5ft you have (I prefer shorter length) BUT this new one is a right angle...

    Best short headphones extension cable?

    Thanks! I only need it for headphone purposes, not a mic (as I have a separate mic and don't use my Bose inline mic). Is this the UGREEN that you used? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0919NSDS1/

    Best short headphones extension cable?

    I am looking for a very short (no more than 1ft and even 6" would do) 3.5 male to female extension cable. I use Bose QC25 for PC use and it is a pain to constantly remove and attach the headphones to the rear PC audio port. The front don't work well, so I am only using the back. I used to use a...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Do you mind checking one more thing? During a phone call, is there a lot of wind noise if you are outside? The QC35 and the MDR1000x both suffer from this issue (extremely difficult for the other person to hear you). When on a call, does the sound come from both sides in stereo or is it just...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    If you get a chance, could you do a more in dept review of how effective the ANC is? If you've tried other ANC headphones, how do these earbuds compare (seal + ANC)? Thanks!

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    I'm very interested in this model, solely because of the active noise canceling. How would these fare on a train with high pitched screeching? I know the Sony MDR1000x did a fairly decent job muffling the sound (definitely better than the Bose QC15). Would tthese be better?

    Sony MDR-1000X

    I'm actually interested in your amazon story. I buy a lot of my things from there and return items as needed as well.

    Sony MDR-1000X

    I'm surprised you liked the recalibration function. First time I accidentally stumble across it, I introduced a weird hum/whoosh sound that wouldn't go away, even after successive recalibration. I lost that silence I had prior to recalibration. Never did get total silence back, but did get close...
