Hi I'm looking Advice on which headphones to buy to use for movies music and gaming. On terms of budget, we're talking between 200 CAD$ to 400$ CAD. I intend to use the headphones to listen to music, movies, tv shows and a lot of gaming as well. My personal preference is for headphones that...

Quote: Well. I did find a few soundcards that are pretty universal... The new drivers did help a little in the end. The ones I'm using right now allow for much lower DPC latency which results in a slightly better emulation but the big difference for me came from toying with the Flexible...

Quote:   Quote:     I'm not sure yet... but I have a feeling maybe my Xonar DX's Dolby Headphone techology is just "weak"... I'm thinking maybe I ought to get a better soundcard... and I might finally enjoy some decent virtual surround sound into my PC360s...   I'm tryin to...

Quote: Well, even with DH-1 setup with the PC360s and my Xonar DX, I still feel the decrease in sound quality... that feeling that all the sounds feel like the inside of a tin can... Very annoying... Somehow, when I was using the A50s outputting sound from the optical cable to the TX amp...

Quote: Yes I know that. But its when I'm actually gaming that I notice the "tin can" effect... because its emulating surround sound to my pc360s... Are TRUE surround sound headsets that bad (the ones with multiple speakers inside the ear cups)

Quote: Well to be honnest, I don't think the PC360's sound is bad. They're actually VERY precise... I'D say they're quite "neutral"... they reflect with much fidelity what the soundcard is out-putting... its just that they feel a bit more "empty" compared to the boomy a50s... But I fixed...

Ok so I just got the PC360 headset, and right now I'm not very impressed... but I think I need some advice on setting it all up...   The PC360s have 2x 3.5mm jacks (mic + headphone) and I plugged them both in the front panel analog inputs (mic + headphone). In my XONAR DX soundcard panel, I...

Quote: Yes I am returning the A50s, I was asking the questions I asked because I'm still using the a50s while I wait for the PC360s to arrive, and because I want to further my knowledge before they arrive... makes my life easier ;)

I'm having a hard time figuring out how surround sound works with my setup. Right now, I'm using the Astro A50 (TX amp) with my soundcard (Xonar DX). I have a SPDIF cable going from my soundcard's optical out to the TX amp optical IN...   Here are my questions: - In "Playback devices"...

What about the TRITTON WARHEAD headset?   I haven't seen it in the Headset reviewed... Know anything about them?  

Quote: Ok thanks. I checked the links. I didn't know such adapters existed for the Xbox 360. My next question was going to be: Using that adaptor of yours, it wouldn't be surround sound coming into the headset right? One would need a MIX amp hooked up with an optical cable coming out of...

What would be a good MIX amp for the PC360 Headset? I read in Mad Lust Envy's reviews that the Astro MixAmp (2013 edition) has some "hissing" sound, which I definitly don't wanna have in my ears... He recommends the Astro MixAmp 2011 edition or even the 2009 edition...   Thing is I've...

Curious to know which AMP would be a good match for the PC360 Headset. (for Multi platform gaming) Also would like to know how would one go about using a Headset and a Seperate Mic when gaming on consoles?...

Quote: With all due respect, when you go to the garage, do you take the pamphlet and read all about the car parts and how they work together and what to buy, and which is better or do you just want it "straight" ?   If you are dealing with something you don'T know much about. You want...

Quote: Ok I went back to read the first post fully, and I'm still not quite sure I understand... Let me see if I got it right: Basically, any type of surround sound I hear in a headset would be "virtual surround sound" correct? I did hear about headsets that have multiple "speakers" for...

Yes I know what Virtual surround sound is... my question is this:   With my astro a50, I simply plugged in the optical cable (spdif) I had from my xonar's DX souncard to the TX amp Optical input. When gaming, I noticed right off the bat I was getting surround sound (was that virtual surround...

That's great but it doesn't answer my question. My Xonar DX soundcard supports surround sound. But the PC360 features 3.5mm plugs (two of them, 1 for mic, and 1 for sound). How do I get the surround sound processed by my soundcard (xonar dx) to the PC360? Do I just plug them 3.5mm jacks? or must...

Hi, I have received last friday my Astro a50 headset system. I game mainly on PC and Xbox 360. I enjoy Surround sound very much. I was told these were the best I could buy and I deeply regret not informing myself well because they are BS...   There is a constant high pitch buzz in the right...

Quote: Ok question:   The PC360 headset... Isn't that a STEREO headset? When using the a50, I just use the optical cable to link sound card to the TX amp (my soundcard is the XONAR dx) and I don't even need to press the dolby button on the TX amp to get surround sound... the cues seem...

Thank you for the quick response. I'm new to the whole headset system, why does one use a "mixamp"... is it to crank up the volume ? or just to have something processing the stereo sound into a virtual surround sound?   I guess my question is, what's the difference between the PC360s and the...

I just received my Astro a50 system.   There is an issue with my mic causing a buzzing sound in my right earcup... I read ALL over the forums. Tried all the troubleshooting suggested, nothing works. Funny things is: EVERYONE that owns this headset has this buzzing problem. I tried...
