Hi all Trying to set up an old Astro Mixamp 2011 with an Xbox One and an AKG Q701. I have a Vmoda Boom mic connected to the Q701 via a xlr adapter, it works great directly connected to the Xbox controller and the sound for the headphone to me sounds good. Now in order to connect the Xbox one...

  I have an AKG Q701 and planning to get an amp to go with a mixamp for console gaming.  Budget is $150 between a magni, vali or o2 which would go better.  It would be my first amp and mostly used for gaming.  

Great review it helped me out a bit deciding if to grab a DT990 that is on sale right now as I already have a Q701 and from my untrained ears and my current DAC don't think would be much of a noticeable difference/improvement and probably can invest the money in a desktop amp.    Currently I...

The DT-990-Pro 250 are $124.99 right now on the Amazon lightning deals if that was not posted before.  

Just an update, seems my local store just lowered the Yamaha RX-V571 to less than $300 so I better jump on it.  It has more hdmi inputs than my onkyo.  I loose zone 2, which I haven't use so far, and also loose dolby iiz which is 7.1 height because I don't have room for the back speakers for...

Have an asus xonar dg, is there a quicker way to turn on/off dolby headphones other than using the asus control panel.  The xonar is in a htpc running win7 with xbmc and the soundcard is connected optical to receiver and headphones through the front panel of the computer case.  Both are...

MLE the new layout is great!    Clicking around the reviews just noticed when you click to show on the labtec mic it takes you to the top of the page.  Try it out. 

Hey guys what is the cheapest usb adapter to get a mic working on the ps3? For the xbox 360 only need a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter right?  How do you mute when using a clip on mic like the dx one?

Hey guys so here is my situation, want a headphone surround solution for gaming on consoles.  Already solved the pc side of things with a asus xonar dg and have dolby headphone.  For the console side mixamp pro is best option but after reading PurpleAngel's setup with Yamaha receiver started...

Man the price for the M50s do go up and down a lot on amazon.  I've been undecided for a few months so finally went for it, they are currently at $104.41.  According to camelcamel its one of the lowest prices they've been.

Quote:   I have the HPT990 and have to stretch them all the way for them to fit properly, medium sized head here and think they are exactly the same as the hi2050.

Damn it they always get me with that. I was just thinking of buying one of those gift cards and save $25 on the Grado SR80i.

Quote:   Damn that's a good price, was about to buy the Panasonic RP-HTF600-S for my dad so he's gonna get this one instead. Or maybe buy the Sonys and Pannys and forget the M50 for now.  

Quote: Sorry on amazon $105.75.   http://goo.gl/y770T   They usually didn't go below $110.

Quote:   Very nice.   Just saw the ATH-M50 at the lowest I´ve seen them for the last month or so.  Will go to sleep for now, if the price stays in the morning I will buy them.

Amazon has the MEElectronics M6 at $14.99 on their lightning deals.

Quote:   Yeah you got me, should have made my point clearer.  They will be mainly for rock so Grados or Alessandro seems to be the top recommendation and I want no isolation at all, need to hear phone ringing or if someone comes to talk to me.  For me with the 2050 at mid volume you can...

Quote:    Agree with you, they are very comfortable for several hour but after 3-4 you want to take them off for a couple of minutes.  I don't use glasses all the time but even with glasses they are comfortable, the only thing I have to point out is that they will not fit larger heads...

Quote:   Highly recommend a Xonar DG.  I purchased the Technical Pro HPT990 + Asus Xonar DG combo and really satisfied with the quality of this headphones.  I previously had a JVC HARX700 but sold them to get better headphones.  The Takstar Hi2050 (Technical Pro HPT990) are a great...

Quote:   Hey PurpleAngel need your input on something, how would you compare the HD558 agains the Technical Pro HPT990 (Takstar Hi2050)?    I was about to buy a Xonar DG + HD558 but a Xonar DG + HPT990 combo is better for my wallet, just want to know if the $135 difference is really...

Hello everyone! My first post!   Been lurking for a few weeks now and looking to improve my audio experience.  Never bought headphone more expensive than $50.  Right now I'm looking for a good all arounder to use in the house.  Budget is around $150, but could probably go up to $200 if there...
