Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still leaning headset, but slowly starting to entertain a headphone+mic combo again. Really appreciate the post. One thing you touched on that I'm really struggling with is the optimal Xbox One audio settings - my primary focus right now is positional accuracy...- AlBorland

Alrighty, need some advice here. Primary system - Xbox One (will be buying the Series X on release) Primary use - "competitive" gaming (I'm oldish, but I primarily play FPS) Current headset - Skullcandy SLYRs (3.5mm directly to controller) Just bought - Astro A40 w/ Mixamp Pro (Gen 3) - paid...- AlBorland

The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.
Man, I thought I closed the door on more IEMs, buuut... Did anyone else just get the e-mail from Meelec for the A161Ps? A coupon code for $45 off and one for free shipping ($2.95), total comes to $54.99 before taxes. I gotta hop on that, right? If I don't, I'm happy to give my code to someone...- AlBorland

Sorry for a reply without a deal, but +1 to the thread opening very slowly (similar to the old Full Size deal thread)- AlBorland

Quote: As I said, I get a bit lost in details and ask a lot of questions, so understandable if I get overlooked :) Thanks for the response. The surround processing is the most important aspect for me right now. So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the x12+DSS is going...- AlBorland

+1 for the $40 SLYR. I wrote SkullCandy off a while ago, interesting developments there from what I've been reading. After reading everything MLE said about them, I'm getting antsy to receive them. I posted earlier and didn't get a response (it was a bit longwinded), but I had recently picked...- AlBorland

Quote: I'll keep the HSR-1000 in mind. The more reading/thinking I'm doing, the more I'm leaning towards headphone (perhaps ATH-AD700, if they're an upgrade over my HD555's) + mic vs. headset. However, if my fiancee is using the X12's, is there a way for both of us to use voice...- AlBorland

The Deals Thread (CLOSED! See the last post for the link to the new thread)
Quote: I only saw a couple of reviews for the SR850 for gaming, which didn't seem too positive (directional sound ok, distance not ok). I see you posted in MLE's thread, so hopefully he'll offer some insight.- AlBorland

Are the Creative Aurvana Live a decent deal at $60? Amazon has had em up around $100 for a while now, noticed the drop on my wish list: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-EF0060-Aurvana-Live-Headphones/dp/B000ZJZ7OA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1QG41ELZMWWTV&coliid=I21M8U4EGZX68Y ...- AlBorland

First of all, thank you for this guide and your continued responses, very much appreciated. Got a few questions (and apologies ahead of time if I get longwinded or random). Quick background: I guess you could have called me a "professional" CS1.6 player back in the day, and I used...- AlBorland

First off, thank you for these reviews, this is an incredibly informative post. I'm looking to bust out of the bottom of the barrel IEMs and try to move into some mid-level. I considered posting this question in the recommendations thread, but it doesn't seem as though anyone responds there. ...- AlBorland
