So Ive been listening to all the headphones ive been going back and forth with for the past month at work plugged into a speaker bar on my monitor. I figured the sound should be on par since the bar is plugged into the sound card. So ive been pretty unimpressed with the sound while at work. At home i listen on a rockboxed ipod 5.5g. While the phones have sounded ok through it, i just wasnt getting what all the fuss was with more expensive cans. So anyway, I moved my computer lower down today since my speker bar kept falling off my monitor. So I plugged the hf2 directly into the sound card. I had no idea the card was so nice. Its a sound blaster x-fi fatality edition. gold plated inputs and all. There isno reason a government computer should have this card. Anyway, HOLY CRAP... These hf2s came to life in a big way. I thought they were pretty good before but now I cannot believe how awesome these phones really are. I dont plan on going back to the mess of trying different phones again , but I wonder how those rs1,rs2,325s really sounded when played out of the soundcard. Ive been wanting to get a dot i but davids store is non existent lately. So im still going to get one whenever but now I am extremely happy with the sound I experienced before I left work.
