    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Anyone know about https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-600-Open-Back-Professional-Headphone/dp/B00004SY4H/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8 I can say screw it and spend more if it's a really good sounding/immersive pair for gaming. Anyone know about the 600 or 650s of Sennheiser? (I remember...

    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Anyone happen to have any other suggestions in the 150-250 range or just go with the DT 990s again? Ended up trying that HP200 pair and the audio seemed WAY off out of the box so scared me away just now.

    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Awesome! Think I'll pull the trigger if there's nothing in that up to 250 price range you'd suggest otherwise.

    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Any particular reason you'd rate them over the DT990s?

    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Since I originally got them somewhere between 150-200 figured I'd go in the 150-250 range since saving up for other PC parts (hoping for a 3080Ti variant this year sometime) I COULD buy another pair of DT990s they did me well for so long, but just wanted to see if there were newer options that...

    Replacing my DT 990s (250 Ohm)

    Figure this would be the best place to ask since it was originally where I got the suggestion for this pair a while ago. My DT 990s have been around since 2014 and my use is PRIMARILY PC gaming and music enjoyment coming far in 2nd for the other usage. Just recently I've noticed my left ear...

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    How does a ground loop isolator or isolation transformer work? Just want to try options and see if anything helps, once again it's not a loud or crazy crackle but it's VERY annoying since it pops and crinkles and takes away from audio and especially gaming where you're getting these little...

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    I'm not running high sound levels or anything, and it's not a loud crackle it's just subtle almost pops and crinkles sometimes more frequent sometimes not.

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    I'll order one from Amazon then, any particular suggestion? Just weird since I've tried direct through outlet and through a surge protector. Just wish it was that easy to solve this, but doubt it would be haha. And I think there's just some weird interference in my PC causing my audio to be...

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    Would a DAC/amp combo avoid any internal parts interference? (also would I have any point to even have my SBZ that I can run them through it?) And yeah, all my outlets on this floor are grounded which is weird :/ But there's a definite crinkle esque audio at times. And I do appreciate the...

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    Hmm I can look this up what would that entail? And I've tried this with 2 different PSUs, multiple soundcards, onboard, and different sets of headphones and it still pops and crackles during games and just general usage when sounds play. (like a crackle and pop not constant but happens quite a...

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    Still having trouble figuring this all out, at worst anyone have a good headphone suggestion that would go okay with a Soundblaster ZXR? (primarily gaming w/ also being decent/good at music hopefully) And if anyone has an opinion on ways around the audio crackle/pop/interference distortion.

    PC trouble w/ audio distortion/crackling randomly

    I've tried an Asus Essence STX II, Creative ZXR, my DT 990s with each, and newly ordered HD 650s (not sure I actually like them if anyone has a suggestions on a solid pair for gaming but can do decent/good audio also) Even with onboard and trying all of the above I get a weird crackle, or pop...

    I have a pair of DT 990s looking for a correct soundcard or DAC/AMP combo option for gaming

    I've had a SBZ in the past that crapped out on me, now on a SBZ. Just more noticing I'm getting a crackling/pop noise in certain games, but sadly even when I took out the SBZ and tried the onboard also making me think it's some sort of weird interference inside my case?   I was wondering would...

    ZxR died just today, need a new soundcard for primarily gaming for my DT 990 250ohm headphones

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00193FT26/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   That's my headphones, just had my ZxR die on me before after my computer hard rebooting. What would be the BEST current option for gaming and overall sound quality for such, and I've never tried but how...
