Titanfall... Meh. Tried the beta, the wall-running/parkour stuff is fun, but the Fps aspect wasn't too spectacular. I do like the powercards though lol.

I'm more excited for Dark Souls II and Watch Dogs coming in the next month or so.

+1 I'm such a big fan that I've pre-ordered both the ps3 Black Armour Edition and the pc version.

I love that they removed the invulnerability while rolling/interacting. Also, reactive monsters which are non-aggressive until you provoke them. Nice touches

I do want to steer a bit back on topic... while talking about gaming as well.

I been playing BF4 with my H3 the past few days, while watching a few movies as well (Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Thor: The Dark World, Gravity). The H3 performed EXCEPTIONALLY well.

Finally, and IEM with a spacious enough soundstage to enjoy some gaming and movies.

Yeah, a lot of the stuff they changed from the first Dark Souls is welcome like the interruptible actions but not unfair coz you can stop them on your own to avoid taking hits. I personally like that they returned to the death penalties like in Demon's Souls coz Dark Souls was easier due to that. Also it's a great idea to be invaded also as hollow coz a lot of people had it a lot easier with Dark Souls - no penalty for being a hollow and not being invaded. Overall it sees that they've actually made the best Souls game to date at least from gameplay standpoint. Also I'm dying to try a dual wield build.

Okay, I just have to say this. If you're thinking about spending between $100 to $200 for a pair of earphones, you can't go wrong with either the TE-05, Doppio, M200, IM70 or DN-1000. Search and you will find my various thoughts on each. I will not compare here because really each one I listed has its own unique signature, but all perform way beyond their price points I believe. And it's interesting how the BAs are sounding more dynamic, and the dynamics have the speed like A BA or hybrid. I would have included the Haven V, but unless you really search it's will be a bit higher than $200. I sold my DN-1000 but I still think about its signature. The Doppio, IM70, and TE--05 are really amazing to me. I'm sure they'll still get a lot of time regardless of the great things i'm expecting from the FX850. Right now the TE---05 is doing it for me.

Great list ericp! I would also recommend the R3 in that list for people who prefer a more neutral presentation.

Nice, looking forward to theTE-05. have them on pre-order from B&H, don't know when I'll get them but they sound like they're fine iems. Really do like the DUNU 1K's, though not gotten much listening for a while with the deluge of phones ("it's raining Headphones, Hallelujah!!")
