I will be trying out the MDR-1R, first, to see if it fits my need for portability and sound. The X1 will be more of a beneficial can to have around... when the time comes.
 
 

I had the MDR-1R for only a short period when it came out. The comfort and the look is awesome, but they sounded kinda meh or uninspired to me. No competition for the likes of HD 650 or my Ultrasone Signature DJ. You might be disappointed.

I dont think so, but you might get away with selling consoles in the source section. I'm trying to sell my 3DS XL for $150. I never use it, other than when I played Fire Emblem...

 
I figured you would have kept it to play Shin Megami Tensei IV, at the very least...
 
I'd jump on the offer myself, but between the TM HOTAS Warthog and this bloody Steam sale, $150's too much for me right now.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I put it up for sale at $160 to cover shipping.

That can't possibly be good for the treble. Mods come and go, but when they first come, people are always quick to say it does nothing to affect the sound negatively. With dynamic cans, if you take away something, something elsewhere is added. Likewise, if you add something, something else gets taken away. No such thing as a free boost.

I've heard good things about the HOTAS, even with Mechwarrior Online (which doesn't play with joysticks very well). Be sure to let us all know whether it was worth it. Sorry about your wallet!

This is how you know you're on head-fi.
As a side note, I just watched 4 episodes of TriGun last night.

Im on like episode 18 of Trigun. Never seen the series, but I'm slowly getting through it...

What a coincidence.

I have a 2013 Astro Mixamp for sale, virtually like new, all cables and packaging included (minus the quick start sheet that is available online anyways).
 
If anyone is interested in buying, shoot a PM my way and I'll hook you up. I don't want to sell it on eBay because I'll get ripped off ($20+) by fees.

It's a bit too old school for me (lack of detail and animation), but Vash is a memorable character and really pushes the series through. I can't wait to get to the movie. Considering the movie is only a few years old, I expect a huge boost in quality.

Question: So there is no way to get surround sound into my headphones from the PS Vita? If not, that kind of sucks....

No, the Vita doesn't output games in surround sound.

The PSP Corpse Party games are made with binaural audio, and so they are the only games I know of with virtual surround on the Vita.

I see, kind of lame isn't it? One would think it would have been on the top of their list when they started designing the thing.

Mad Lust Envy, have you heard of Razer Surround?
 
I'm using it right now after having had the .exe for a while, and I dare say, I like this quite a lot better than the Mixamp. Being able to use my own amplifier and DAC, being able to customize the HTRF, and a built-in, switchable system-wide graphic equalizer also don't hurt.
