Has anyone tried a Fostex TH900, Denon 7200, or a meze or ZMF headphone for gaming ? mainly FPS im currently using a T1 gen2. and its the best headphone so far, ive used for gaming.

not enough bass for me to consider them for gaming. they are pretty spot on tho, for everything else. at 4.5k here for the HE1000s, thats a lot of coin.

the Violectric DACs are excellent, i had an V800, and stepped up to the V850.... According to Fried, theres a considerable difference... then again the V800 is still a damn nice DAC. great performance from a compact unit.

Just on the subject of the V281s. is the remote control w/ 128 stage step relay worth it , ? 500 Euro.

good choice. !

still a PC gamer here too, but the current crop of video cards, and their cost.... ouch... max i could afford was a refurbished eVGA 3090TI, which was still expensive.

i havent gotten around to downloading that DLC, i think i may need to : ) been too busy in Battlefield V, with the recent patch to add the anti cheat, the games have been a lot better, enjoyable, and not getting a headshot through a wall is refreshing. lol

for me, i think his word is pretty good.. enough for me to scramble for a V850..... then again, if you have a V800 thats still a damn nice DAC. better than a lot of other DACs that cost a lot more than it.

According to Fried, the different is quite substantial between the V800 and 850 apparently.

the v800 or v850 will fit nicely then : )

Arthur will ship these units outside of US... its not restricted to US only.

I managed to find a V850 last month. yes they are scarce.

whats a decent price on a V800 ?

i noticed that one, yes thanks.

they are excellent as a gaming headphone. and what great value.

Hi If anyone has a V280 or a V281 they would like to move on, let me know. i will pay pretty well for a nice one. please PM thanks and much appreciated.

Fried did say the V222 is still a very nice option to pair with the V850 DAC. i might see if i can find a v280 on here, or a V281 if the budget can stretch. or just settle for the V222. altho the v280 and 850 aesthetically would look great stacked together.

the v280 is more powerful than the v222, and actually aesthetically looks great stacked with the V850. i can get either. and the v280 is not much more than the v222.

ive got a PM regarding this on my phone , but when i open headfi, on the web.... no PMs have been received ?

WTB Violectric V850, let me know if you have one to sell thanks.

better than the new one just released. so is MW3 2011.

mine wasnt a bargain, but still definately worth it, and in great shape. not made any more, so these will be harder and harder to come by...

i havent, good idea... might try them. thanks.

i mean, my first T1 was a Gen3.... very nice, for some reason i wanted a Gen2...found a real nice pair on ebay. i really wanted to know how it sounded... and boy i wasnt disappointed.

interesting. my thoughts and reviews are based primarily on gaming, mainly on Battlefield V, which i consider has some excellent audio. so firstly i bought the Gen 3, and they were excellent in game, depth, body, clarity of sounds etc was fantastic, music was great through them too...
