I just ordered both of these based on recommendations, but have also heard other people say the sound card does nothing for the hd558's and that I should get a more expensive one or that they don't need one at all.   Was my choice right and should I stick with it or should I send back the...

Trying to decide between getting the hd558 with an asus xonar dg soundcard or the dt990 pro's with the xonar stx essence.   I mainly will be listening to music such as trance and dubstep along with gaming on it as well, but am wondering if the latter option is worth the extra money considering...

Oh ok for some reason i was very confused but then Im in the middle of my visual effects and animation class writing this dead tired :D   Thanks for your help :)

I'm not fully tech savvy so what exactly do you mean? What do I need to do for it to go in the computer?

Didn't know where else to put this but was wondering if this soundcard will work with my current computer. Here are some specs:   Motherboard N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX (Alvorix) Manufacturer: Foxconn Form factor: uATX Chipset: AMD 785G Memory sockets: 4 x DDR3 Front side bus speeds...

Hey was wondering how these compare to the hd558 as far as the bass and overall soundstage goes?   I loved the hfi 580's bass, best bass from any headphone I've owned by far, and the soundstage was pretty good though not as good as a few others I've tried from friends of mine. I was wondering...

Wanted to also know if the hd558's sound a lot better then the siberia v2's or the HFI 580's that I used to have?

Trying to decide which of these to get for the dt990 pro's that im thinking about getting. I don't really have too much money to spend and would prefer the cheapest best bet here. Would the fiio e17 be good to power the dt990's without say the eo9k combo that I've heard alot of people say they...

Can this be used as both amp and dac effectively for something like the dt990 pro's or is it that much better with something else attached like the eo9k fiio on a windows pc?   Was also looking at the aune t1 and is it worth the extra money to get that over the fiio? It would be shipping from...

I think I'm just going to stick with one of the sennheiser's for now. On a tight budget and it seems like i would have to buy not just an amp but a dac like the modi for something like the dt990 pro's to work. I originally thought that you could just buy the amp and the headphones and hook the...

Trying to decide between these three headphones at the moment as a replacement for my old ultrasone hfi 580's that stopped working in one ear. I do mostly gaming and listening to bassy music like house techno dubstep stuff like that and want something that has good solid bass and soundstage.  ...

So my the right speaker went out on my ultrasone hfi 580's after 7-8 months of use. I was wondering if there is anyway to possibly fix this or if I should just forget about it and replace them? If I have to replace them do you guys have any suggestions to any comparable or better headphones for...

I just had my pair of Ultrasone HFI 580's go out in one ear after 7-8 months of use and was wondering what would be a good comparable upgrade or replacement to those? Ive been seeing stuff about dt 770's and xb 500's and was wondering if those would be good as well as the audio technica ad700's...

Quote: Again I'm not trying to tell people that they absolutely should not spend a ton of money on headphones, people will do as they please when it comes down to it, I'm just taking the standpoint that I think most of the people on here probably don't make a ton of money(like me) and if...
