    Best Solid State Headphone Amp on a budget of around 500?

    Nope, this is only for headphone use. There's a version for powered monitors.    In this case, you need a unit dedicated to power speakers.

    Please help an overwhelmed noob

      Even better than the newest version of it (the 400i) in my opinion. You're good to go. :)

    anyone try the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro?

    Only with music unfortunately. They were at a friend house and spent some time with the portable rig listening music (setting 3). Overall a good experience.    May need to try them for a weekend on games and report back.

    The HE400 deliver some good bass, they will work nicely with your O2 combo.

    Best Solid State Headphone Amp on a budget of around 500?

    Welcome to head-fi!    My personal recommendation:  The Soloist SL. Suited for low/high impedance headphones, is able to power your Sennhs and AKg with ease. Does a fine job with some planars as well. If on the US it can be found for $550-600.

    What's the loudest Bluetooth and wired speaker you can take to the shower?

      It's a 5W speaker, unless there's a new 10W version? :D

    Headphones in the uk about £100 ish

      It depends on the headphone sensitivity. The more sensitive the easier to drive.  For this model, a few guys recommend some extra power.    You mentioned the uses, but not your music genres. Please give us more info.

    Replacement Sennheiser HD-265 Band?

    The only option is to DIY.    A member used a HD650 headband and modded it to fit the HD565 which are pretty similar to the 265's.  http://www.head-fi.org/t/518202/sennheiser-hd565-appreciation-and-service-thread#post_7364416

    Looking for a new pair of Headphones

    As for the gaming part, they are not as accurate like other headphone models such as the AD900x or HD598 but they are still good. If on FPS you can buy a Mixamp and they improve nicely.     Nice recommendation by the guys above.

    JVC Headphones

      Op, what kind of sound and music genres you like? the S500 are fun sounding while the 400's are more revealing. Choose depending on that.

    Need help building a PC...?

      You can forget about the good mouse and keyboard for now, and spend on the most important components.    If in the US tigerdirect has AMD barebone kits that fit the bill.

    Hello From the West Coast

    Hello and welcome.   To answer your questions:   1- The STX II will have no problems driving the 250ohm beyers. I'ts a very capable soundcard.  2- I don't see the need for a separate headphone amp, unless you decide to buy hard to drive headphones. It will not affect the sound in any way...

    Audio Technica ATH-M50x Vs. Beyerdynamics Custom One Pro

    I'd go for the Beyers, given their flexibility.

    Need help building a PC...?

    Lazyboy, you need to state a budget for your build, i guess you want advice for the main components.

    m50x's for gaming?

    If you need accuracy they are not recommended. For non-Fps (racing games, etc) they are good :)
