    PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...

    There is so much crap, bad information in this thread it is unbelievable.  No wonder so many people are just throwing their hands up in the air and buying Astro A50's.   Over the course of the last week I have experimented with each and every possible combination of the following:   Astro...

    What am I doing wrong with my Mixamp Pro and PS4? Mic quality terrible

    Here's my setup and results with Destiny and using PS4 Party Chat:   1. MixAmp Pro + Astro A40:  OK audio, microphone sounds "like I am using a walkie talkie"   2. MixAmp Pro + Sennheiser G4ME One's. Using a 3.5mm splitter.  Audio is fantastic, microphone: "Sounds like I am shouting in a...

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    Does anyone know where you can get an good quality IE80 cable that has an inline microphone and remote for an iPhone?   I am thinking about buying a set of IE80s but as a gym rat I absolutely have to have a remote/mic otherwise it's a no-go.

    Bought RHA T10i to replace UE 900

    I've had my UE 900 for about a year, they were purchased (blindly) from an Apple store. Since the purchase, I have had a hate-hate relationship: I hate the cord, I hate the cheap build quality, I despise the lack of true, powerful low-end bass extension.     Recently have heard really good...

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    Can anyone recommend the best tips for a good seal with these?  I just tried using the stock rubber eartips, but not fitted over the rib, and the insertion is deeper and this is the first time I have had a good seal with these.  The bass is finally where I want it to be.   Are there longer...

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    I have had my UE 900 IEMs for about a year now and really like them but the lack of lower-end punch is really just starting to irk me.  I have tried 3 different tips, both the rubber and 2 different set of Comply foam tips.  Even with a good seal, I just don't get much bass extension with these...

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

      The UE 900 are not discontinued. They are still available, full price, from Logitech's website. Because some random customer service agent told someone's sister's cousin that they are discontinued does not make it so. :)

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    Quote: Absolutely.  You do not need to amplify these.  They sound great running off of my HTC Droid DNA.

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    FWIW,   I have a long standing history of hating IEMs, basically exhausting the entire Shure product line as well as a variety of Sonys, Beats, and others...all of which I found to be essentially trash.  I stuck with a variety of beloved Sennheiser on-ear headphones until I came across the...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    After having several nightmare experiences returning IEMs to various online vendors after disappointing experiences with the monitors, I am no longer interested in patronizing anything other than brick-and-mortar stores for IEMs.  Brands such as Sony, Monster, Ultimate Ears, Q-Jays, Sennheiser...

    Open, comfortable alternative to the bassmonster ATH-M50?

    I should mention that I do own a Little Dot 2++ although I have no idea if it is appropriate for the HD 650 or the type of music I enjoy which does require deep, fast bass.

    Open, comfortable alternative to the bassmonster ATH-M50?

    Well guys, after a week of ownership I think I've decided the M50 just isn't for me. I'm happy with the sound. The comfort, the sweaty ears after 15 minutes....I just can't tolerate it. And yes, I've stretched them out. Can anyone here recommend a quality open headphone that is ultra...

    The Audio Technica M50 studio monitor thread

    I know that with headphones, different strokes for different folks, right?   I just bought my M50's on Friday and have only managed to put about 30 minutes of listening time in yet.  Mostly because I find the incredible pressure and closed nature of the headphones suffocating. Not painful...

    M50, more bass or not?

    Quote: Easily.   I have tried plugging in my M50's into my 2g Nano, Laptop, and iPhone and each of those seemed more than capable of driving the M50 to deliver the rich sound it is supposed to give.

    M50, more bass or not?

    Un-amped out of my nano, these have too much bass. And I consider myself a basshead.
