Hello, just a quick thread with a quick question. Brothers looking for a new pair of gaming headphones. I'm more or less set on just telling him to get the Fidelio X2HR, since I bought myself a pair of X2 about a year ago and they're great. Only thing is I run them on an external sound card on...

Hey all, just a day or two ago I was ready to pull the trigger on Fidelio X2, but then all of a sudden a huge headphones sale appears on a website from here leaving me even more confused as to what to pick (because maybe I can get something better???) - and I dont have much experience with...

Hello all, I've been looking to buy Fidelio X2 and have been reading back and forth about them for a week or so now. What I've learned is that there are two models: one from Woox and one from Gibson, whereas the Woox is the preferred one, but hard to obtain. Gibson, apparently, is more "dark"...

Hello all, my Aurvana live 2 died on me after 2 years and im looking to get something new. While I loved them, the plastic hinges just doesnt hold up in the long run.   I've been looking at Fidelio x2 but I dont know if I should go with 32ohm headphones again, or something higher. Reason is I...

Hello all, I just got some money back from an RMA due to broken hinges (Creative Aurvana Live! 2). While I was super happy with them (and might buy them again?), I was wondering if since I bought those about two years ago something better has come along.   They will be used with my PC and...

Hi, I have a ZxR, and as far as I know it has ASIO drivers. But isnt ASIO something you have to enable manually somehow? (in both Windows and ie. Foobar2k). If so, how do I do it? From what I know ASIO bypasses windows' mixer and Creative drivers. Would this mean that I cannot use Creatives...

Hi everyone, I've had some threads about sound cards and its come down to these two and would love to ultimately hear what would be better.   Prices are where I live: E10K: $125 Essence STX: $175   My headphones are Creative Aurvana Live...

Hello again, it so happened I last week bought a pair of Aurvana live 2 and a Sound Blaster Z. Yesterday the SB-Z had a fit and started sending an insanely high beeping into the headphones which caused the sound to fit even more and evidently ruined the headphones, so now I have to send both...

Hello everyone, I have a pair of Aurvana Live 2 hooked to a SB-Z soundcard. When I first got it I had volume mistakenly set at 80%, and with the 600ohm amp. in the soundcard I felt like my eardrums were gonna explode for a second (20% is only just bearable before it becomes too loud, so you can...

Hi, I just got a pair of Aurvana Live 2, and I bought a different cable since I read most places that the one that comes with it isnt too good.   Unfortunately the cable I bought is too big (the plastic) to fit the headset, so I had to cut it off to make it go in. The cable is not exactly...

I need a new cable for a pair of headphones. One end has to be 2.5mm, the other 3.5mm. Theres a bunch of gold-plated ones from China on eBay: http://goo.gl/8mE5sK are these worth anything?   I can only find one of these cables from an online store in my country, the brand is...

Hello all, for as long as I can remember I've always been buying "gaming headsets", but always been told a decent pair of headphones would blow them away.   Basically I want a pair of "semi-hifi" headphones with a decent matching soundcard. They will mainly be used for gaming, but at the same...
