No one? ;-; Seems like this is a rip case.

Alright so I have a FiiO E10K Olympus 2 that I've been using for 6 years now. It's been connected to my desktop and the same headphone (AKG K612 Pro) like 95% of the time. Recently I had to help my brother with something and I took my E10K to connect it to his laptop to test some stuff. When I...

  Err I'm not really sure. When I go to device manager to check I see 3 things listed under audio control:   - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - NVIDIA High Definition Audio - NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)   Not really sure which one is the sound card, if it's one of...

I don't have a mixamp. I'm wondering how good the headphone will sound if I just connect it directly to my laptop's 3.5mm jack. Sorry if I wasn't being clear. >.>   If they're good with the Clip+ I'm guessing they should work well with a laptop?

Yeah but I wanted to hear some opinions. Is higher volume all the amp will offer or does the sound quality also improve? I don't really need a mic and "moderate volume" could still be good enough for me as I don't need the headphone to blast my ears off.   He says that one with a warm...

Do the K612 pro really need an amp or do they still sound good without one? I've decided to go for them and will be using them on my laptop, mostly for gaming and every now and then for movies and maybe music. If it's really recommended then I could probably get one down the road but I have no...

I see. Do you use them for gaming too? I don't think I've seem someone recommend them before for that but they're roughly the same price as the HD 558 where I live so I'll definitely consider them if they're better.   For sale section? But Amazon doesn't ship them to europe so I'm not sure...

But what do they do better than the HD 558? Do they have noticably better sound quality, greater sound stage, etc? Just curious. >.>   I'm looking for something around 140 euro so about 200 dollars, but preferably no more than that.   I've looked at the momentum again and it seems amazon...

Well as I said in the OP these will be the first headphones that I'm going to buy so I can't really compare them with any. I've always just used the standard speakers on the computer for sound except once when I was a kid I had this random cheap headset but that was more than a decade ago(though...

I know they're not bass canons, I don't want that. But I also don't want a complete lack of bass either which I hear is the case with the AD700x. So I was looking for a headphone that has decent bass while still having good directional sound. The HD 558 seems to fit that.

Based on your description it seems the HD 558 are the ones I should be getting. If they have a decent bass but are still really good for pin pointing where sound is coming from then that's good for me. And as I said being good for music and movies is always a nice bonus.   Thanks for all the...

I guess that's possible but it takes a while for amazon to deliver something so I'd rather not start sending back and forth tbh. 

Well I actually use a laptop atm. I do plan to get a desktop in the future but idk when that will be. Either this year or the next. I've searched around a bit to see what soundcard this thing has(if it has one) and in device manager I see IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, Nvidia High Definition...

Thanks for the responses. My pc doens't get very loud. I rarely notice the fan while playing so I doubt it'll get in the way. My budget is about $180. So again I'm basically looking for a headphone with a wide sound stage for directional accuracy like the AD700x but has a decent enough bass so...

Hey guys, first post and hope this is the right board to ask. I'm looking to buy my first headset or headphone which I will mostly use for gaming(being good for music and movies would be a nice bonus). So originally I was going to buy a Steelseries Siberia V2 which seemed pretty good(every...
