Ultrasone HFI780 ALO Mod
Ok. That definitely sounds (ha!) like they weren't burned in at all. Sibiliance is typical for a fresh set. This thread here, just like the thread about the original Ultrasone HFI 780s, should have plenty of info (it's long though).- Radical_53

Ultrasone HFI780 ALO Mod
Bass-shy, 780s? Really? The original 780s were rather bass-heavy all-around. I don't see how they'd be comparable to open phones in any way?- Radical_53

Powerbeats Pro (Truly Wireless IEM from Apple/Beats)
I needed to get some Comply tips for them to fit right, even two different sizes before I liked the fit. The wired IEMs I used before weren't as comfortable, but the seel seemed to be tighter. These still stay in place nicely when working out or running, even with sunglasses and/or hat they work...- Radical_53

EQ Settings for 700+ Headphones
I’ve had my Ultrasone HFI780 for ten years now, but they’ve never sounded this good. My best „upgrade“ in years! :)- Radical_53

Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography
In FPS it always felt like clipping or distortion. The combination of ZXR and my headphones (Ultrasone HFI 780) already has very nice positional audio (both heading and height) and doesn't feel like everything was "in your head". They'll surely update their list with more headphones and...- Radical_53

Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography
I had the same issues with the amp. Instead of feeling spacious I only had extreme reverb and distortion. I tried it back and forth and never found a setting that I really liked. I’ll wait a while and check back where they might go with this tech.- Radical_53

Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography
I guess most people would love what’s the idea behind this. One device for all, hassle-free, no fiddling. In theory, that is. Let’s see if this will ever work with “everybody’s” ears and headphones.- Radical_53

Yes, that screen tells me to log in in order to change my settings. After I do log in (again), it shows the same thing again. I might try reinstalling it, but at least the Android app seems to work normally.- Radical_53

Yes, and stored to the device. I might re-do it if you’re saying it shouldn’t happen, but quirky software is nothing unusual for Creative (at least from my personal experience).- Radical_53

Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography
It's extreme with SXFI on, yes, and a tad bright when it’s off (compared to my ZXR). What I don’t understand is the EQ part, especially „game“. I used it to play for a couple of hours last night and there were some great positional moments. But then, looking at the curve it uses, I thought...- Radical_53

Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography
My device finally arrived, but I can’t seem to get it setup the right way. I used the hint from the other thread here and chose the Aurvana Live2! profile for my Ultrasone HFI-780 cans (very similar to the Edition 9, not the same quality of course). Each EQ preset I found was tinny and rather...- Radical_53

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
@RPGWiZaRD Makes sense. The "headphone" setting seems fine with pair of headphones. I never use any SBX when playing music, and I normally pick the stereo direct mode for my speakers. I'd second that it would be great if they allowed all the options in all the modes though.- Radical_53

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
@RPGWiZaRD Is what @thuNDa says correct? Was that how your post was meant to be understood? I swapped my X-Fi Titanium HD for the ZXR and tested both of them head to head in different games. Positional audio in Black Ops 2 was done exceptionally well with the ZXR (with SBX on, of course).- Radical_53

Every new interconnect, every other piece of cable or part inside the signal path can possibly change the sound. It doesn't necessarily have to do this but it can change the sound, naturally to the worse.- Radical_53

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
I never used it either, as I don't need its functions. For whatever reason it helps the main card to be detected though. I've had this issue throughout several MSI mainboards (many generations) and between Win 8 and 8.1. With the daughterboard, I've never had an issue. Bios flash issue was...- Radical_53

I did have that problem too. The daughterboard helped me to get rid of it though. The alternative seems to be a re-flash of the bios on some boards, it didn't help in my case.- Radical_53

Review of Little Dot MKV Dual Mono Solid State Headphone Amplifier
Well, that' what it's supposed to do. "Normally", you'd only want to add some "color" through the choice of the headphones themselves. No coloration from the source, or the amp.- Radical_53

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Games are mostly first-person types, ranging from the typical Call of Duty & Battlefield games to things like Skyrim, Metro or Dishonored. The cards I've been using were mostly Creative-based. Among the last cards, before I got my ZXR, were the Titanium HD, Auzen X-Fi Home Theater HD, Forte...- Radical_53
