  Does anyone have an experience with HiFiMAN HE-400i in FPS gaming with headphone surround sound?

 
That particular headphone has been discussed several times throughout the thread, so you should be able to find plenty of impressions of those who have used it for gaming.

hi, can we have some Fidelio X2 gaming impressions (seundsteech, imagong, competitive multiplayer good?) prettiest of all pleases?

  What amplifier would you suggest for my 1th gen K701 and T70p? I know that K701 is power hungry due to low sensitivity.
My DACs are Creative X-Fi Titanium HD and Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD.

 
If your willing to budget $214-$250 for a headphone amplifier.
Darkvoice 336SE.

So RCA cable from the Titanium-HD's RCA line-output to the RCA input on the 336SE.

Does this play well with lower impedance cans? Most OTL tube amps do not, so I don't trust the 32-600 ohm rating. Usually below 150 ohm, it becomes a problem, and the K series is 62 ohm I believe. I could be wrong on this particular unit though, as Schiit worked some magic with their Valhalla 2 to drive lower impedance headphones.

High end AKGs love tubes. Yes, 62 Ω, but also unusually lower sensitivity (forget off the top of my head, think it's in the 90's dB), and a nearly linear impedance response curve. Meaning, it responds to output impedance almost the same across the frequency range. Tubes add a bit of roundness and musicality to the otherwise technical headphone.

I can't seem to find information on the ultrasound 15 G anywhere! Do you have any idea where I can find a review?

There was this thread with a guy who wrote a guide on gaming cans but I don't remember what it was called.

I think it loads after you hold alt and press f4? :D
 
 
Edit: yay, has been about a decade since I had the chance to use that 1 lol

 
 
LMAO
 
For a minute there, I was confused as if I was in the correct thread or where the hell was I?
