Hnggggh! Thanks for the suggestion, do want haha. I mean, I LIKE the idea of a portable closed can I can take to work and listen to during lunch (cuz I can't listen while working) but yeah.


The new EMU versions have detachable cables now. Not really portable, but sufficient for use at the job (assuming you're at a desk, not constantly moving around haha).

The For Honor Beta is awesome! I'm gonna twitch stream some gameplay if anyone wants to watch

So far the biggest challenge in this game for me was going through an entire match without any of the players randomly dropping out of the session.

It's using similar generic shooter multiplayer formulas and modes, just with sword fighting. Tell me one pvp shooter that doesn't get repetitive besides the old Battlefields lol. Not necessarily a bad thing. Fun to pick up and play a couple matches with friends as you said.

I'm buying it so whatever spare time I get, this weekend, will be used to play Nioh.


Seems like it's just Dynasty Warriors? Kinda repetitive like... cough... DESTINY... cough ... :innocent:


Also I've heard good things about Nioh?

Still in tech support, constantly standing and talking and moving around! So, maybe I shouldn't bother with a portable closed headphone, but sometimes I wish about the future, haha.

Sadly, dressing up your digital Barbie doll isn't the main point of this game :upside_down:

Nioh is the shiznit, but very similar to souls games.

Don't you already own the Vmoda? I'm assuming the new MrSpeakers aren't going to be much more portable than a detachable Fostex/emu. Unless they're smaller than what pics show. I know they weigh under 300 grams.

Edit: look what I just found. It's calling for you, Ev.

  You can connect Turtle Beach Elite Pro Audio Controller to Magni and PS4 the same way as you do with the Astro mixamps, right?


Yup. Works exactly the same as the Mixamp.

On a completely unrelated subject, check out what I recently picked up

I already have a couple of Sennheiser 598's. I don't really need anymore, so I'm assuming the new HD599's aren't a worthy upgrade for what I'm looking for. I really don't want to spend more than $250, but the Sony's get great reviews all over the internet based on what I've seen. I'm looking for comfort, better bass than my 598's, I will be coupling the headphones with a Sound Blaster Z(so we're clear, I already own the Sound Blaster Z, so it may be a bit pointless to recommend something else to pair with the headphones)for a lot of gaming and music, and just the feeling of "ok, this is definitely a step above my 598's" Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a couple of 598's why not sell all that stuff and hop on a Fostex TH-X00 variant?
