    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Quote:   I use a ZO2 with my mixamp to add a little extra power and umph -- it works exceptionally well.  In fact, I can't even use the mixamp without it now, sounds so anemic in comparison. In the case of the ZO2, sound quality does not take a hit at all so i would imagine you'll get the...

    Quote: I can't speak on the q701 as I've never heard it but I wouldn't be happy watching movies with the AD700s, they're just too thin and weak sounding for that.  The ADs are great for positional cues and soundstage but sound like tin cans imo when trying to reproduce bass freq as they...

    Quote: exactly, I completely agree.  Got a set based on this thread and am so glad I did. Not sure there is a better set for the money out there.

    DigiZoid ZO a good option for me?

    I have a ZO2 (2.1 to be specific) and use it with my Denons all the time...in fact, I simply can't use them (or any of my other headphones) without it now.  Anyway. adding fullness to the sound is definitely the best way to describe it and based on what you're looking for, it seems to me that...

    Denon D2000 VS Denon D1100

    I agree with DKaz, D2k is a pretty nice step up from the D1001 and I'd imagine also from the D1100.     Have to admit I find it weird that the OP finds the D2k's treble can be sharp and harsh...definitely don't ever check out the Ultrasone Pro900s if that's the case!

    Quote:   I know you just ordered a new amp that will take care of this issue but why did you never consider a receiver?  I have a mixamp but game primarily using my more than decade old Sony receiver simply because it's SQ absolutely BLOWS the mixamp away.  It decodes DD and DTS and...

    Quote:   I owned the PX5s briefly and have heard the AD700s.  TBH, I don't see the point in moving from the PX5s to the ADs.  While the ADs do offer better sound quality, I'm not sure the difference is enough to justify spending money on -- at least not for me. The biggest problem I have...

    digiZoid ZO2.3 Impression & Discussion Thread

    Got my RMA number but never sent in my ZO2.1 due to all this talk of reduced soundstage on the 2.3.  I use my ZO2 while gaming and have always been impressed at how it didn't ruin the sound stage despite adding so much body and heft to the sound.  I'd hate to sacrifice sound stage for minor hiss...

    I agree it sounds like wired is the way to go, especially if you're sitting at your desk with both the xbox and pc within reach.

    Quote: Exactly.    If the deal extreme is too cheap looking/feeling or you can't wait the month it will take to show up -- take a look at the AntLion ModMic.  That's an excellent way to add a boom mic to a headphone.

    Quote: If you have an electrical outlet near your seating position, you can always use an USB cable with AC adapter to power your wireless mixamp.  I've done this before in a pinch and it works great.

    Denon AH-D2000 - worth the risk?? HELP!

    digiZoid ZO2.3 Impression & Discussion Thread

    Was on the fence about RMA'ing in my Z02.1 but the improvements in ver 3 definitely seem worthy.  Going to send mine in and will post some impressions when I get it back.

    Denon AH-D2000 - worth the risk?? HELP!

    OP, if portability is a must, have you considered the AH-D1100?  They are much more portable and aren't that far off from the D2K's sound signature.

    Quote:   You plan on using the Astro mixamp?  If so, you won't have the problem of not being able to hear yourself regardless if you go headset or not.  Choose the headphone of your liking, throw on a clip on mic (or better yet AntLion Mod Mic) and you're set.

    Quote: If you're on PS3 and plan to/want to chat, then you're going to need the ps3 chat cable.  It is (unfortunately) not a standard USB cable so you don't really have a choice but to buy it from them.  As far as the longer optical cable -- well, that really depends on where you plan...

    ZO2 plays real nice with the mixamp  -- but my cans aren't hard to drive either.

    Anyone use your cans for movies?

    ^^Both for me -- DVD/BD as well as movie files ripped from discs.

    Quote: Just wanted to confirm, the mixamp definitely does not accept DTS signals.  You will get no sound at all when feeding the mixamp DTS. It has no trouble passing the signal through however, as I feed my receiver DTS signals passed through the mixamp all the time.  I'm referring to...

    What's your take on the Astro A40s?

    Best Headphones for blu-ray movie watching and PS3 gaming for under $200

    It's a shame you're having trouble finding the Denons for a better price, they are absolutely fantastic imo.  I also agree with Mal's assessment of the AD700, they are simply not in the same league when it comes to immersion.  I purchased a set based on all the positive reviews I read and didn't...
