Guys, sorry for zombieing this thread... I just bought a refurbished XB500.   I've been using a Philips SHP805 for years, this thing is just beautiful, natural sounding and rich for little price. I bought the XB500 basically because of his premise of extra bass, however it's still sounding...

What would say for Games and Music?

Thanks for the input. Less bass than the 805? Wow, that's not acceptable. No preamps here, just straight outta X-Fi Platinum Fatality.

I'm sorry probably people aren't familiar with this philips... But if anyone has something to say it will be of great help.

I have a X-Fi Platinum Fatality. The one that comes with remote and I/O bay. Good stuff for gaming and music.

This thing is nice. And it was just $1 lol. How are the other albums? I can't preview in this site... =/

I'm a diehard fan of The Roots "The Tipping Point" and "Game Theory" albums.

First of all, hello everybody. I'm new to the forums and to sound as well. Nah, I'm not a complete newbie but don't assume too much, eh?! So, I've owned some really crappy headphones so far. And the most decent ones were this Philips SHP805 that I'm wearing right now (I'm not so sure US...

Which sound card do you use with it? I use regular (non 5.1) headphones (Philips SHP805) with my X-Fi and when it's on game mode and CMSS3D enabled I can pinpoint enemies in FPS with ease.
