Upgrade from my HD 280 Pro's
I've always been happy with my 280s until now. I recently picked up some Beyerdynamic DTX 102 ie for my wife and they are way better than my 280s in every way. The 280s are extremely bright and I never noticed how much it affected the quality of the music I listened to. They gotta go.- Poisoner

HT Omega eClaro vs JDS Labs O2 + DAC
What would be a good set of headphones to upgrade too? I listen to a broad range of music that mostly consists of Christian metal and Spanish pop. But I do sneak in some rap on occasion. My only wish is something that doesn't have overwhelming bass.- Poisoner

HT Omega eClaro vs JDS Labs O2 + DAC
Sennheiser hd 280 pro. My ti-hd seems to be on its way out. If it's not the card then it might be the pcie 1x slot. But I'm not completely sure. Maybe I'll try it in a full pcie slot this weekend. And yes on board audio was disabled in bios- Poisoner

HT Omega eClaro vs JDS Labs O2 + DAC
I'm looking to replace my X-Fi Titanium HD and I am torn between these two choices. I mostly game but I do listen to music on occasion. Does anyone here have experience with either on of these devices? Sound quality is the most important thing to me.- Poisoner

Durable IEMs under $100?
Well, my Sennheiser CX 280's left channel has gone out after a few months of rugged abuse. Its beyond my ability to fix so I need to either buy another pair or buy another IEM. What is within my price range with comparable sound quality (nothing bass heavy) and durable? Also, how can I...- Poisoner

Buying my first sound card.
After listening to one song on the computer with the Recon 3d with my Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, this is what I will tell you. I think that the sound quality on the Recon 3d isn't that bad if you have good headphones. The X-Fi HD is still better but the difference is less pronounced with a good...- Poisoner

Non Asus or Creative Sound Cards
Thanks. I am asking because I am looking to maybe replace my x-fi titanium hd. I had a xonar Dx but I happened to exchange it because I absolutely hated the software for it. I had it for about three days and to be honest the jump from my recon 3d to the xonar was less than the jump from xonar to...- Poisoner

Headphone recommendation for an overwhelmed person
I wasn't going to get as good of a deal on the HD 380s off ebay so I went to Best Buy and grabbed some Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. I am very happy with them. Bass is now tight and precise and louder without being overpowering. Highs are also articulated much better. It is amazing how different a...- Poisoner

Headphone recommendation for an overwhelmed person
Do I really need more power to my headphones? As I said, I have no problem with volume at all. Also, is it wise to change so much of my audio setup at one time? The new headphones should be a big change itself without adding an external amplifier, if I decide to get one.- Poisoner

Quote: I don't have a problem buying an amp, you just aren't selling your position at all. From everything I read, I am understanding that you only need an amp for high impedance headphones. I haven't had any problem with volume or intensity at all, I can't take my current setup past...- Poisoner

Quote: How will the amplification from my sound card be greatly inferior for headphones with less than 40ohms when my sound card can push up to 330ohm headphones. Why on earth would I need to amplify headphones that an iPhone could drive? I also think you are under estimating my...- Poisoner
