I wonder if those HE-400 drivers can be removed and placed inside one of the new HE-350 frames? Some personal tweaking applied and you might have the gem you've been dying for Hifiman to release.

That's brilliant.

That's brilliant.

 
And doable, I'm sure. I'll tag @PETEREK so we can see what he thinks.

Slightly off topic...

I was reading in another thread that people who are buying the TH-X00 from Massdrop are having them sent directly to him so he could do the mod...

This might actually save me the $28 in sales tax I would pay in NJ, which would go toward the price of the mods. I'd rather give him my money than the State of NJ. Rant over.

I've had two of my headphones shipped directly to him, saving me the extra shipping costs. Definitely an option he's cool with (given the heads up).

I have now ordered tritton 720+ 7.1 headset which I got from eBay for £35($46) Inc postage! Have I made a mistake? Btw I only care bout one thing and that is hearing enemy footsteps im not bothered about anything else.

Another thing is compatibility with the ps4.will the "audiophile" headphones e.g. Audio-Technica AD700 not gaming ones have 7.1 surround sound?

The Tritton 720+ system is fine, and that seems a decent price. I haven't heard the headset itself, but MLE tested the puck/processor. If you ended up not liking the headset, you could always use a different headphone like the AD700 or even Koss KSC75 (sometimes marketed as "Pulse") clip-ons, so no I don't think you made a mistake.

2. The base unit/puck/DSP/whatever that comes with the 720+ does the 7.1 surround processing, and you can plug any headphone into that (including "audiophile" ones).

Ev, did you ever progress through Bloodborne?

I beat the boss I was stuck at, every once in a while I come back and progress. Right now I have Overwatch (which is ok, but sometimes I wish it was a little more rich), Paragon (free PS+ download), and the last few sections of FarCry 4 on rotation.

Just saw them. Definitely hnnnnnng worthy.

I'm still on my trusty HE400.

Just beat Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness a few days ago, waiting on I Am Setsuna next week.

How was Star Ocean?

I can help if you ever get back to it. I really need the extra insights, used 'em all on a boss I'm stuck on in the 'Old Hunters' expansion.
 
I think my nephew is picking up Overwatch for his bday. We game share with each other so I'll be able to jump on if he does. At least all their post launch DLC is free.

Star Ocean was okay. A bit disappointing all things considered, but on my number scale, I'd put it at a 6.5 (my old ratings). definitely flawed, and I prefer SO4 by a large margin, which ironically, people seemed to hate (I LOVED SO4). Still, it's playable, and there's fun to be had here and there. Just... I'm a huge Star Ocean fan, and this left me feeling like this is the wrong way to go/end. Review sites drilled this game pretty hard. I wouldn't say it's as bad as they say, but yeah.

Guys, something interesting: London has Fallen, on Blu-Ray has a DTS headphone X option! I didn't notice until about 1/3 through the movie.

I enabled it just recently and paused to tell you guys. So rent/buy the movie if you're interested in how DTS Headphone X sounds. I turned off the surround processing on the X7, to let the embedded processing of the movie to be unhindered.

Let's see how well it works.

I sincerely hope this becomes a trend.

IIRC Pearl Harbor had a Dolby Headphone track available on the DVD release.

It'd be great if the DTS guys are trying to really push Headphone X, so any movie under their control for audio will hopefully nowadays come with it. A man can hope.

Still watching it, but so far it sounds pretty good in terms of SQ. central channel doesn't sound distant like typical surround DSP, but whether it's the movie or not, surround cues aren't doing too much. Soundstage for the surround effects do see far out. I did miss quite a bit for the biggest action scene (I enabled it after), so I dunno if I'll get a good feel for HPX with this movie. It is undeniably better than standard headphone stereo at least. Not sure I'd choose it over just using the SBX from the X7 though. Still, seeing as it's new to me, I'll be giving it its dues as much as possible.

I went to Amazon and check out the movie. The picture with the back cover says it does have DTS Headphone X. Pretty cool, didn't know this until you said it. Now Im going to be checking this out more often.

Found this list, don't know how accurate it will be.

I'll be curious to hear MLE's opinion on how it sounds with the hard coding on the disk?

 

[BubbleGumHaZe]

Hey so the trittons came and iv been using them I have everything setup correctly opt cable and the USB in the ps4 and have the decorder in dobly mode. However I can barely hear enemy footsteps especially in blackops 3 the other sounds make it almost impossible to locate enemies by sound. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this really the best the 720+ offers

Set digital Output Priority to Dolby, Headphone output to Chat Only. Equip Amplify and Dead Silence in-game.

I'm thinking about making all the white highlights on the headphones black(all the text).

Do you think a pen like this would do the trick?

Decided to give my 2011 Mixamp a make over using some sandpaper and shoe polish. It turned out pretty alright but I'm still deciding whether to change the knobs to real aluminium knobs.
