I might have to give that a try. It might be possible that all of my motherboards have been Asus brand. I don't know if it's a known issue that they all have microphone issues, that would be strange. On the mic settings, with 0 DB boost my talking doesn't even register. It has to be between...

Every microphone I have ever used that doesn't connect via USB has tons of static in it. I have used a lot of computers and microphones over the past 15 years, and no matter how hard I search or how much I play around with every possible setting and driver, I can not solve it. Everyone else who...

For anyone who stumbles upon this old thread of mine, here's an update - I originally bought the AD700, and used them for a few years. I loved them, although they squeezed my head a little. However at the store where I worked they had the A700s, discounted because of them no longer being...

It does have the ports for 5.1 surround sound.   There's something I just noticed. Whatever the default output is set to when I open Wirecast, that's what it stays on. If I switch the default output on my PC, Wirecast doesn't change with it.   I wonder if I start it with my TV set as...

I see how the first two options might help, but not the last two. I need to have Skype's audio in the live stream broadcast, but not coming out of my speakers.   I'm guessing the first two options would create an extra source to set Skype's output to, which would allow me to receive the...

okay. I use a simple Logitech stereo system.   There are 4 active playback sources. LCD TV(because I use a tv for a monitor with an HDMI cable.) Realtek Digital Output (not used) Realtek Digital Output Optical (not used) Speakers (what I use for all my audio)   Skype detects...

Hmm, I don't think any of us have one of those, or the ability to connect to bluetooth since we all use desktop PCs.   Do you know how to actually do it with tweaking output settings?

I'm sorry this isn't a hardware related question, but this was the only place I could think of where I could get a fast answer.   I do live streaming with my brothers, and I usually pick up their microphone audio through Skype. However we are having a LAN party tomorrow. It appears the...

Yeah I ran multiple tests with the headphones, using them with the MP3 player, my nintendo DS, and my PC. The best evidence was on the PC when I held the headphones in my hand, played a mono track loudly, and panned the sound left to right. The left always sounded noticeably louder.   I...

Well I didn't expect them to be amazing, although I'm very happy with how nice they sound for $10. I did have a $20 pair of sennheisers before these, and I feel these sound better. I just don't want to go on another very long search for good value headphones with an anti-tangle slider.

I saw these sony headphones had 4 reviews, all 5 stars, and could be purchased at a walmart for only $10, and were best for the price. http://www.head-fi.org/products/sony-mdrex10lp-blk-in-ear-headphones After some use, I realized that the left side sounded louder, and kind of distorted. I...

Been researching for a few hours now trying to find good PC speakers for around $100, and CNET gave the Creative MegaWorks 250D-THX speakers a great review, saying they out-perform many other speakers like the Logitech Z-2300. Only problem is, nobody seems to be selling them anywhere. Anyone...

Been reading for a while on head-fi about different IEMs, and in the 20-30$ range, the marshmallows seem to get the least criticism and problems. If these are as amazing sounding as people say, which of these 2 seemingly different JVC Marshmallow headphones are the best and safest buy...

I have a question for you guys, and thought this would be the best place to ask rather than make a new thread. Do most MP3 players play songs with the same quality, or are some MP3 players significantly better than others? I Currently have a Sandisk: Sansa. Model e260. The only big problem I've...

Alright, thank you very much for the reply. I think I am leaning towards getting the Beyer DT 770 or higher someday, since those are praised quite highly on this forum. I would love to have that sound card, but I don't think I have the money to spend on it yet. But I will keep it in mind in the...

Sorry for posting another one of these topics asking for help on finding a sound card, but I've been reading the forums for 2 days and can't find the answers I'm looking for.   I got a pair of A700 headphones (as suggested by people on this website) and I am enjoying them a lot. My birthday...

Why can't any companies make headphones that play music the way it is supposed to sound? When I listen to music, I want to hear it the way the creator meant for it to be heard, not just what I think sounds good. Sure, a headset that could give sound in that wide of a range would be expensive...

hahah, really? Well, if it is possible to bend them without doing any serious damage to them, I might give it a try. I was just worried I might accidentally snap it, or damage the wiring inside it somehow.

So about 2 weeks ago I received my A700 headphones(as suggested on head fi), and I have been enjoying them a lot, except that they are quite tight on my head, and begin to hurt in less than an hour. Am I able to safely and carefully bend the 2 wires on the top that are causing the pressure? Or...

After some help on head fi, I got a pair of A700 headphones. I like them a lot, but I'm trying to find out what they are capable of. I would like to find out how great of a soundstage it has, but I don't know how to test this. Does anyone know if there is a song out there specifically made for...

Quote: Hahah, I don't even know what most of this means. Don't know what a good or bad mid sounds like, nor do I know what recessed or forwards sounds are like. That's ok though for now. You are right Napalm. I guess I should just pick a headset, and if I don't like it I'll return it and...

I think the reason why these topics are created so often are because no website can give a straight answer. I thought picking a nice headset would be as easy as buying a video card, but is seems that there are no definitive headsets that are obviously better than others for the price. It's so...

Lol, thank you. I was looking around at other threads too before creating this one, but a lot of people seemed to have different tastes in what they were looking for, and I thought I could find a good headset faster by making my own topic. And now, I don't know what to do! heheh.

Oh really? I shall look into it right now. If anyone can backup Graphicism on the RX700, feel free to. I'm all for saving money. I don't know if I really want to go any farther than $130 for a pair of headphones. I really like the idea of being able to hear people through walls in PC games. If...

Yeah closed is what I am leaning towards now. Are these the ones I should go for? http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-A700-Closed-back-Dynamic-Headphones/dp/B0002ERGQ0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275341809&sr=1-3 Amazon has 2 different A700s. The ones I linked are slightly more, and...
