Sound card and amp
Thanks, any reason for such a cheap amp considering my budget? With regards to the audio + drivers, no onboard is not disabled but I have had no issues with conflicts, and yes I have the third party drivers installed, it is essential for Windows 10 since Asus haven't released fully working...- Aastii

Sound card and amp
I am looking at picking up a set of HD 650's to be used mainly with my PC, however upon reading up feel that am amp may be in order too (and potentially a sound card). At the moment I have an Asus Xonar D2X, with a pair of CAL!2's plugged straight into it. I am in the UK, so if I had a £4000...- Aastii

Headphones broke... again
It is just from wear and tear, like everything else I own I looked after my headphones. The furthest they would travel is from my head to my desk :P. I never wrapped them up or pulled on them or anything like that. It isn't so much the cable that is my problem, I have had el cheapo...- Aastii

Headphones broke... again
thank you for the reply. How do the CAL!2's stack up against the CAL!? I took a look through the master thread and there is a lot of talk about them having a similar sound to the CAL but with more bass. This I don't see as much of a problem, I can use the EQ to try and get a more neutral sound...- Aastii

Headphones broke... again
Thank you, but I would much rather have full size headphones than earphones. I don't particularly like in-ear earphones at the best of times, never mind using them for potentially hours at a time!- Aastii

Headphones broke... again
I have a pair of Creative Aurvana Live headphones which, two years on, have died. The right headphone no longer works because the wire has gone. They are the second set I have had in 4 four years that have done this. So now I am after another pair of headphones that aren't another set of...- Aastii

HA-RX900 Questions
The SRH-240's would be better than the JVC's? For what reason, and would anyone else agree?- Aastii

HA-RX900 Questions
thanks for the reply, however, as I said in the post, I don't care so much about the gaming sound, that is secondary, I would sooner have great sounding music and average gaming, than amazing gaming and mediocre music- Aastii

HA-RX900 Questions
So I am in the market for some new headphones, and again and again keep coming back to and considering these. I have looked at a few others, but everything being said (mostly on this site) says for the price, they can't be beaten. So, I have a budget of ~£50, give or take a few quid. These...- Aastii

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Quote: Thanks for the reply :) I would, however, sooner take sound over comfort. If I can get both over and above the £60 budget, I would save up further, or make money stretch to make it happen, but I don't particularly want to spend a whole lot more than that- Aastii

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
As a PC gamer and music listener, I recently bought an Asus Xonar D2X, which was my first ever dedicated sound card (I'm a little ashamed to say on these forums :P), and the quality compared to integrated blew me away. Now though, I want a decent set of headphones to go with them. They...- Aastii

Are budget sound cards worth it?
I'm in the process of getting my PC at least slightly sound worthy, less than 2 weeks into the year and already £200 spent upgrading yet again, with the cost still rising I have ~£35 left over for the moment after case, hard drive and headphones for a sound card. Now I know that if you go...- Aastii

Budget Headphones
Thanks for the reply How are we talking sound quality wise? I would sooner heave better sound quality than comfort, I can get some foam and ghetto mod it to get more comfort. I was looking at some Sennheiser HD205-I yesterday, how would they compare to the JVC ones? I've got...- Aastii
