Didn't know someone had responded, sorry about the late reply.   Looks like a made a mistake in the labeling.   Here's the image updated so that its clearer. It shows all the pieces in the puzzle.     The ground joins at the Y-Joint and splits again for each plug at the bottom...

Got my headphones earlier today. First thing I did, play some great rock music, then Battlefield Bad Company 2. Awesome. Just awesome. Need some more time to give my thoughts on it though... I'm happy though.   But seriously, I still plan to modify my headphones, so.... any suggestions...

I just ordered some Creative Aurvana Live! and they should get to me in about two or three days. EDIT: I have them in my possessions already. I'm already thinking about messing around with them. These are my first headphones by the way... I'll give them a bit of test run when I get them. But...

Ok, I'm kinda jumping around here, but I think I've settled on the Creative Aurvana Live! I've already noted my complaints with all the other headphones. Was really leaning towards the Fischers, but the amp requirement just kind of made me not want to get it. The Superlux HD668B seemed to lean...

Yep, just as I figured. I don't think I'll be getting these just because of that. Amps are to much when taking into account the inital headphone price. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have gotten a mixamp for a long time. That things pretty expensive too, about 140.   From what I was reading...

lol, didn't mean to say you were wrong like "your wrong," more like a joking your wrong...  Dont know if that made any sense. Point is it wasn't meant to be serious! Shoulda added a smiley on that post...    Any ideas how good these are with an Astro Mixamp? and can you compare the sound...

Yea, I didn't mention it, but I was looking into the DT990. Got interested when I saw the DT770 80 Pro went for about 160. The DT990 Pro go for about 170. Only 10 difference and the DT990 are supposedly better. These are 250 ohm though so will most definitely require an amp... The lower ohm...

You seem to be pushing for those Fischers a lot, I thought you said you haven't used them? I've been asking questions over there and they're telling me its as good as an ATH-AD700. Here's my problem though: driving it. I don't have an amp and I don't exactly feel like shelling out some more...

Hmm, thanks for the replies. That sounds interesting. I was mostly talking about single player campaigns though... Though GoW has good sound production. Anyways, if I was to get the Fischers, I wouldn't be able to amp them, at least not immediately. And if I was to get one, I would most likely...

I'm considering getting the HD668B headphones. Sound pretty good. However, it seems that these may not be so great for immersive gaming or movies, but rather, appeals more to classical or jazzy music. Is this true? I would be using it more for gaming and movies... How do these stack up...

I'm considering getting these headphones. Sound pretty good, probably more geared towards noncompetitive gaming and movies from what I've read, yes?   Comfort and the recommended use of an amp for these phones is kind of keeping me from getting these though. I suppose the comfort can be...

Thanks for your suggestions thus far. I read up on the Fischers a bit more and I gotta say, they do sound like they would be exactly what I want. However, comfort (a common complaint) and an amp requirement (not really, but apparently its just much better with one than without) is keeping me...

Ok after some more research, I've narrowed it down to the following:     Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Fischer FA-011 Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80     Now, I've eliminated the HD555 becuase the AD700 is, apparently, just plainly better than it (and the HD595). This seems to be the...

Ok, that sounds interesting, what about the sound stage and clarity compared to the AD700s? Just the fact that it has more bass makes me want it more than the AD700s, however, there's more to consider. Also, do you know anything about the HD555 mods? The effect that it has on the headphones or...

Thanks for all the replies people. I've heard of the A700s. Read that their not quite as good as the AD700s. However, I haven't really researched them a lot, so I'll give it a quick check. How would these compare to the AD700s and the HD555? Also, I'm not necessarily a basshead, but I would...

Hello all, new user here and new to quality headphones too. Been looking through the forum and found it interesting. Especially since I'm looking for a set right now.    Looking for some headphones, no more than $120, for music, movies, and gaming (all platforms). The usual. More than...
