I've been working the google search as hard as I can and I am not able to come up with a solution that meets my needs so I'm asking for your help in my search.   Setup; I run a simulation lab for a nursing school where we have a control room with 3 stations that allow us to run 3 simultaneous...

Sounds like a call to customer support is in order, you may have gotten a lemon. It certainly doesn't seem like its functioning as intended. Have you tried different resolutions on you PS3? I know its supposed to support 1080p but if a different resolution is working properly that would  be...

I second Modular, check Catalyst Control Center and fiddle around with the settings. I've never used a video input on a laptop so I don't have any direct knowledge for you. Look for scaling options thats probably the best way to fix the black bar around the image. Also, look for a tab called my...

Quote: Try a good copy of Adele and see if you notice any difference, her music is more focused on vocals anyway so it should be a good way to test it. I've used my TBSE with my Galaxy Nexus and she sounds amazing. I've tried a 2gb classical music FLAC and listened to pandora and Spotify...

Quote: I have the TB PX5 unit which has pretty much the same functionality except that it only works on the PX5 wireless headset and I'm usually using my wired HPs. Don't fear the technology guys, its actually really handy and if you don't want to mess with it its all preprogramed so you...

Ohh ya, good idea, I totally spaced that option. I love the PX5 because it has more options than most DH units, Optical in and out, RCA in, and 3.5mm headphone out so your not stuck using the wireless HPs (which are actually pretty decent).

I have an old Kenwood receiver that I'm using for my home theater setup temporarily while my main Rotel receiver is being fixed. My plan is to use the Kenwood for my computer when I get my Rotel back. The Kenwood has a dedicated headphone out jack (1/4in) in the front and yesterday I plugged my...

Quote: Check this Youtube video out and let that help you decide which platform you would rather play on. I was able to get it for both platforms but my wife wanted to play with me and she wanted a controller and the TV so we ended up playing it through twice on the Xbox. It sure is...

Quote: Hmm, you may want to see if you can take those back to Best Buy and pick up the Tony Bennett Signature editions from Tuesday morning for $50.  http://www.tuesdaymorning.com/tony-bennett-signature-edition-stereophones/1255982.jsp   Edit: Earlier today I decided to plug my TBSE...

I have a Turtle Beach PX5 that I picked up to use with my Xbox/PC and overall it works great but occasionally I get a pop in the audio when listening on my PC. I don't have an audio card I'm just using the optical out from my onboard sound (Realteck ALC892). I'll run it on my Xbox for a few...

Quote: I hate to say it but if someone finds that diagram to hard to follow they probably shouldn't be on head-fi. Technology is only getting more complicated and to get the most out of what you have is, I feel, always going to take some tweaking to get it just right.    Quote...

I don't want anyone to get the impression that I was claiming my TBSE were some awesome bass headphones, I think it may have come across that way. The best way I can describe it is that songs sound more 'accurate'? Than I have ever noticed before. So when I was listening to the song I mentioned...

Quote: Hmmm, I generally don't like bass which is one of the reasons I picked this HP. According to Tdock these HPs are more focused on mids which is how I used to skew my equalizer when I played with those settings ages ago. To me these HP's separate the highs/mids/lows very accurately...

Quote: I don't understand how the bass can considered bad, just yesterday I was listening to a song by Olive and the bass was so good that I could have sworn there was a subwoofer strapped to my head. I could feel the bass and it was amazing, I seriously had an image of a subwoofer cone...

Quote: I second this, I was having such a hard time trying to figure it out I just started skipping over your reply's.    I need to head to Best Buy and try out some of their open headphones, I'm starting to get curious about how they will differ from my closed Koss TBSE and my on ear...

Quote: Mad Lust Envy just picked up the Magni amp and the USB DAC so he should have a review up on his gaming thread when they arrive.  http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-updated-11-12-12-sennheiser-hd650-added

I have to put my $.02 in here after the last few negative comments. I really appreciate Tdock's Thread, I was looking for a good entry level audiophile headphone and was originally going to go with the Philips Up/downtown because they hit the right $$ amount, then I saw the TBSE Koss' on sale. I...

I would agree that they do get a bit warm but I think that's probably going to be a problem with all circumaural HP's. As far as fit they are very comfortable to me and actually more comfortable then my supra-aural Sennheisers. I do find that they take a bit more work to get positioned correctly...

Ha, they even look the same with the metal strap up against the cable. I love my Nuforce also but not to long ago the mic/play/pause tongle case popped open and I had to wrap some electrical tape around it to keep it together. I also will sometimes get a random shock to me ears when I have them...

Just read this interesting article about binaural beats tweaked to improve gaming skills and emotional state. I guess it requires you to listen to the track for about 15 minutes focusing solely on the music. This would be difficult for me to do and not fall asleep but I know a lot of you guys...

Quote:   Yes Borderlands 2 has matchmaking and since there are 5 distinct characters this time there are always people starting over or playing alts so it should be pretty easy to find a group. I played the original and found it to be pretty boring but 2 has been much more engaging for...

Quote:   Quote:   I would highly suggest you give Borderlands 2 a shot if you have any interest in it at all. I am still really enjoying the game and I pre-ordered it. Keep in mind the the multiplayer isn't going to be CoDish at all it would be closer to a Halo co-op game (B2 co-op...

Quote:   Thanks for the input, I've often wondered what my fellow Head-Fiers think about the premium options from services like Spotify and Pandora. 

Quote:   May I suggest looking at the monitors in this thread, which start at about $370 on ebay as of this post. They should be on par with the Dell ultrasharp series for half the price. http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club   Edit: Just found this one on...

Its nice to know that others still care about the GN but I think at this point its kind of futile. You guys know way more about this kind of stuff than me and no one seems to be able to figure out a way to make it work. With no manufacturer support for DAC out and around a year of knowledgeable...
