http://www.sennheiserusa.com/closed-headset-computer-gaming-headset-pc-soundcard_502141 if you MUST have a mic. Or you could get a hd 555/595 and just use a mic that is separate. from my experience any built-in sound card that gives you "surround sound" does not do a good job. If you buy a...

  Quote:   Wait.... there are headphones that do not sound loud enough through normal volume settings? I am interested. I want to know what headphones would not sound loud enough and why. The main question being why someone would make a pair of headphones that do not sound loud enough...

I have been listening to my HD595s for a while now. When I bought them they were on sale as modded to have more bass. I have since bought the Sony MDR-XB700 and the Audio Technica ATH-M50(just bought my second pair). And I noticed that these have just about but not quite as much bass as the...

Quote: this is exactly the problem. That is exactly the solution. what are some good ones that have easy recognition?

Quote: I have done that quite a few times but he wakes up before me.   Also, I don't argue the case, he just brings it up a lot, and I say nothing, and he brings it up again the next chance he gets

Quote: It is hard living with this kind of stuff. Especially when I wear the headphones every day everywhere.

Quote:   it is mostly just one person(my dad) but no one in the house seems to think I made a good purchase! My brother has hijacked my ad700s and won't give them back and STILL feels the need to say that they are not as good as beats and they lack bass and they have tinny highs, and...

Quote: this is what happens. They see the add and feel the need to comment about those are so much better than the ones I bought. I don't pay it any mind until that commercial shows up 3 more times in in one show and they feel the need to back it up and watch the commercial again and...

sounds like a winner! although it is quite annoying when they comment about it EVERY Bose or beats commercial

I have tried over and over to explain why these are better than beats or Bose but to no avail. They keep saying that because I have not tried those I can not say anything about them even though no one else in my house has and I ACTUALLY HAVE! I try to explain the superior sound quality of my...

  Quote:   yeah.. i was thinking about getting some M50s for music but everyone loves these so much i am going to get a second pair

Quote: ^this even though i have only had these for less than a week i noticed this... but some EQ easily fixes that    

whatever.... i just know it doesn't sound that good on anything but my playstation

oh yeah.... on board sound is just very underwhelming, i don't have a good source.... besides my playstation

Quote: on board yeah... i don't know why but this board(asus p8p67 pro) does not sound that good at all with the on board audio..... now my laptop sounds great...   wait..... SOME youtube videos..... that makes sense.... some sound great, others horrible   oh.. and if you know of...

Quote: that makes sense.... i was just wondering if there was one thing that was better than the other..... oh well... i have no idea what i was thinking.....   hmm amp..... i think i have a few of those.... the one hooked up to the PlayStation for one... but i was wondering if a sound...

Quote:   first my playstation is in another building than my computer,   second i do not know what an amo is or a DAC   third... i never said anything about piracy...... you brought that up....   fourth..... i want to use my computer to listen to music i am sorry but i am at...

i do not have a sound card on my computer and they do not sound anywhere near as good as when i am gaming on my PlayStation.... this is becoming more noticeable the more i listen to them, it also seems that YouTube videos are not a great source for music.... so where can i find some good quality...

but basically what the OP wants to use the ad700s for is what they are perfect for, so i say OP go for it! buy the ad700s, you will NOT regret it for the purpose you want

another thing i have been noticing is that although everyone says they lack in bass, which is true, but i don't get why everyone doesn't point out something else: if you want bass and have as many different mixers(i don't know if you would call them amps) as i do, it is quite easy to turn up the...

Quote: that is all i was trying to say... they are GREAT for classical is another thing i said just GREAT

ad700s are not for music as some people will tell you, and the 558, i don't know.... you may just want to get the 555s and make them 595s by simply removing a piece of foam   also, i talked with someone recently, apparently the ad700 is at the point where headphones get a diminished rate of...

classical always reminds me of final fantasy.... that was really good!

Quote: now that sounds fun! any songs you recommend?
