Hi all Trying to set up an old Astro Mixamp 2011 with an Xbox One and an AKG Q701. I have a Vmoda Boom mic connected to the Q701 via a xlr adapter, it works great directly connected to the Xbox controller and the sound for the headphone to me sounds good. Now in order to connect the Xbox one...

  I have an AKG Q701 and planning to get an amp to go with a mixamp for console gaming.  Budget is $150 between a magni, vali or o2 which would go better.  It would be my first amp and mostly used for gaming.  

Great review it helped me out a bit deciding if to grab a DT990 that is on sale right now as I already have a Q701 and from my untrained ears and my current DAC don't think would be much of a noticeable difference/improvement and probably can invest the money in a desktop amp.    Currently I...

The DT-990-Pro 250 are $124.99 right now on the Amazon lightning deals if that was not posted before.  

Just an update, seems my local store just lowered the Yamaha RX-V571 to less than $300 so I better jump on it.  It has more hdmi inputs than my onkyo.  I loose zone 2, which I haven't use so far, and also loose dolby iiz which is 7.1 height because I don't have room for the back speakers for...

Have an asus xonar dg, is there a quicker way to turn on/off dolby headphones other than using the asus control panel.  The xonar is in a htpc running win7 with xbmc and the soundcard is connected optical to receiver and headphones through the front panel of the computer case.  Both are...

MLE the new layout is great!    Clicking around the reviews just noticed when you click to show on the labtec mic it takes you to the top of the page.  Try it out. 

Hey guys what is the cheapest usb adapter to get a mic working on the ps3? For the xbox 360 only need a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter right?  How do you mute when using a clip on mic like the dx one?

Hey guys so here is my situation, want a headphone surround solution for gaming on consoles.  Already solved the pc side of things with a asus xonar dg and have dolby headphone.  For the console side mixamp pro is best option but after reading PurpleAngel's setup with Yamaha receiver started...

Man the price for the M50s do go up and down a lot on amazon.  I've been undecided for a few months so finally went for it, they are currently at $104.41.  According to camelcamel its one of the lowest prices they've been.

Damn it they always get me with that. I was just thinking of buying one of those gift cards and save $25 on the Grado SR80i.
