I mentioned earlier i don't have experience with a good pair of headphones. As a first time user would I be able to notice a large difference between CALs and the other headphones in the 150-300 range?

 Just as China finally lifts its ban on foreign video game consoles, one of its biggest electronics OEMs has announced a new Ouya competitor. It’s called Tron, and Huawei hopes to sell it for less than $120. The console itself is about the size of a soda can, and its minimalist exterior hides some pretty impressive ARM internals. Huawei opted to one-up Ouya by dropping in an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor and 2GB of RAM. They may offer two different models, one with 16GB of storage and another with 32GB. On the back of the “can” you’ll find an Ethernet and USB 3.0 port as well as HDMI and headphone outputs. Tron’s storage is expandable, too. There’s a door on the bottom that conceals a micro SD slot. The Tron controller is a lot like the Ouya’s — the main difference being that the trackpad in the center is larger. It connects to the console via Bluetooth and can be recharged by hooking up a cable to the micro USB port. Like Ouya, Huawei has heavily customized Android for their console. The simplified dashboard offers up access to games, videos, apps — and, of course, Huawei’s store. Google Play access doesn’t appear to be part of the plan, but that might not matter a whole lot. There’s a good chance that the Huawei Tron might never be sold outside of China. Disappointing? Perhaps a little. Those who got to spend hands-on time with the console at CES found it zippy enough. Then again, it sounds as though Huawei failed to mitigate the annoying Bluetooth controller lag that plagues Android consoles. What’s more disappointing is that Huawei went with the name Tron and didn’t even bother to deck this thing out with some blue neon and angular geometric patterns.

The only way you can get a headset or dac/headphone amp to get sound from a OUYA if your monitor has no speakers is by getting a HDMI to VGA converter with R/L Audio Converter!

That's too bad.

I wash my face every morning and night. Once I'm done I apply creams and or oil's to moisturize my face. My question is, won't the X1 pads go to hell quickly in my case? Should I be worried?

Naturally a stripe down from your sideburns (if we go straight down in a line) isn't sensitive for whatever thing you might have. acne etc...so you could spare that part out and not worry about letting your X1 pads soak everything up, because otherwise they will. Not sure what you are using though so something that makes you a shiny face might look odd there. 
 
Why do you use a lot stuff on your face anyway?

I don't use a lot of stuff on my face. I simply wash my face and then apply moisturizer and at night I wash it again and apply moisturizing oil. My skin is great because I do this every day. I don't walk around all day with a shiny face if that's what you are thinking, lol.

Daddy.. hate to ask this, but are you a man or a woman? Only asking for a bit of context (my GF get's me to put on cream n stuff occasionally, but I'm 170% man etc, honest guv).
 
Anyways.. think that sock mod might well do it for you (the one in the Fidelio mega thread)

I'm a man. My lady is the one crazy about beauty so she got my in the habit. I'm thinking that maybe I can apply cream in the morning on face except the part around my ear. At night, I guess I can wait until right before bed to wash my face. I usually do it at night when I'm up and alert and not right before bed. I hate that feeling of being super sleepy and having to do something like wash my face when all I want to do is sleep.

1. A well moisturised man generally tends to be a PS4 player (according to scientists).

 

1. Guys with flaky skin, paunches and a " tbh pal ... I couldn't give a flying ****" veer towards the Xbox.

 
How's that for social commentary?

I own both. Interesting....
 
I don't want to get rid of these bad boys. If I decide to keep them, I'll have to take real good care of the pads and maybe Philips will release a new revision so I can sell these and buy those. Hopefully they are smart enough to not mess with the sound. Make the pads replaceable and I guess they can strengthen the cable socket while they are at it. I haven't had issues myself but I hear that it can break easily?

Ok guys sorry for all the questions. I'm very new to the headphone game and want to make sure i spend my money wisely. I'm looking for a "fun" headphone that I can use for PS4 and PC gaming, and music. I'm not too worried about being great competitively but obviously that's a plus. I'm looking to spend around $150-200 or a tad more.

Philips X1. Can't get any more fun for your price range.

Hey there! I'm looking for some decent headphones and I came across these: Audio Technica ATH-T400 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RO3V7O/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&colid=2SOV6UVIMPR7L&coliid=I3H1SFLKQHTLCW&me=&seller=, if anybody has them or wants to reccomend them I'd be happy to hear. Looking to use it for gaming and music.

So im assuming you already have a DSS or a mixamp? Stretch your budget a bit and add $50. You can get the Fidelio X1 for $250 from amazon. They will go back to $300 next month.

Forgot to mention I have to get them from newegg ($100 gift card there) and the fidelios aren't on there unfortunately. I can stretch my budget to $300 though.

Im looking for an Closed / Semi-Open Headphone for Gaming (mostly CoD) for my Friend. He does have an really loud PC so open Headphones are a no-go, atm he as has an PC350 and the closed design is just okay with the noise outside.
 
I did some research and found this:
 

AKG K 240 MK II (130€)

[size=12.222222328186035px]A700X (~200€?)[/size]
 
[size=12.222222328186035px]Can anyone give another Option or just say if these are good for a bit competetive Gaming? Thanks[/size]
[size=12.222222328186035px]He does have an Xonar DG[/size]
