    Thats good to hear. My ES7s I would say are average ear pad comfortable wise ( both softness and quality of the pleather) whereas the Bose ones I tried Id say are superb on both.

    ATH-M50x White Replacement Pads Advice

    Hello guys, I am looking to buy a new pair of over the ear headphones to listen to my lovely metal music at work. I was torn between the Bose AE2 (mostly due to HOW DAMN comfortable they are, especially the cushions) and the ATH-M50x Whites. I have read that the M50x come with different ear...

    Quote: And that's exactly why they should have the drivers ready.. I am an MSDN subscriber, and it has been RTM a month now.. And they have had Windows 8 for many more months to develop drivers for.

    AD700 vs DT770 (any ohms) vs DT880 (any ohms,non-premium) vs DT990 (any ohms, non-premium) (especially for gaming)

    Thanks for the replies guys.. If you are aware, how are the DT880 and DT990 for competitive gaming? I am aware that the less bass the better, but then this hampers all other uses of the cans.. On the other side, I don't want cans that have full blown bass that will drown the rest of the sounds...

    PC (Gaming) sound setup

    Any other suggestions for a sound card in the 'cheap' price-range? Apparently the Xonar DG is really good for music, but the Xi-Fi chips (Creative Titanium for example) are better for gaming?
