    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    I'm moving houses in the next couple of months. I'll be sure to post a photo of the setup by then and report back, hopefuly everything will work as expected. X7 connected to PS5, PC, and maybe Switch too, with headphones and a 2.1 setup (Adam T5V's + T10S). I can't begin to imagine how the...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    I know it's kind of unrelated (I have my future headphone setup figured out, SoundBlaster X7 on a side table + Sundara) but I'm wondering about my speaker setup. Due to my small room I'm getting a 120cm wide desk that isn't that deep either, and I have a 48" OLED as my main PC/consoles monitor...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Only 2.0 mode works on PS5, all others aren't detected. On PC I use high-res, so before switching USB I turn it to 2.0 and then plug it to PS5. As for headset-specific 3D effects I couldn't tell you, as I never use them. Just PS5's implementation since Tempest is something developers actually...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    By this point I'm fairly certain on getting the standard X7 (plus Sundara's) for an AiO simultaneous input solution, but then went down the speaker/studio monitor rabbit hole (just because), which I know nothing about. I've read random pages from this thread and got a bit overwhelmed by...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    Just found out my old mixamp has RCA inputs, not outputs, and its USB is power only, so no way of getting everything out of PS5's audio. Guess it's of no use. Maybe my case is more unique than I was expecting, but I assumed plenty of people would have PC/Console stations and would like to hear...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    I've read you can circumvent PS5's UAC1 limitation by using a device with this chip to one of PS5's rear USB ports and then one of its outputs to your dac. Apparently retains PS5's 3D audio and all, without the compression of bluetooth. With my UAC1/2 worries aside, I'm still not aware of many...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    I have, but got worried about the build quality, the metal holding the cups bends so easily that I'm afraid some day they'll simply snap off after getting bent back and forth so much (accidentally or otherwise) Know what? this isn't too bad of a compromise, in that case I'd only have the switch...

    I'm both stupid and new to this, so excuse any "interesting" questions. My Audeze Mobius broke four times, they're more tape than headset right now and I'm ready to move on (still deciding between HE400i 2020, Sundara, 1060C[open mod], or M570 - if you have any recommendation between these or...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    ^^^ I used tamiya cement on the crack, in addition of reenforcing the entire thing with multiple layers of tape (it broke due to stresses, so melting it back into shape won't help the design flaw that occured in the first place, common sense dictates that a similar break will happen again on...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Mine broke 4 different times despite being careful, and I got them not even half a year ago. I'm sure a lot of you experienced at least one of the following (see image), guess I was unlocky and "collected" nearly all possible breaks - the only thing left to break is the right cup falling off. I...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Ok just killed two birds with one stone - also I'm dumb. Aux defaults to 2ch on any device. USB doesn't, and I forgot I had it on in 2ch Hi-res on PC, that's why it didn't work on consoles. Does now if I put it on 2ch beforehand. The other thing I found out was the annoying buzz sound when...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    When plugging them in with 3.5mm on either PS5's controller or directly on Switch they immediately work (which means they default to 2ch rather than 7.1/3D on devices that don't support it) regardless if I previously disconnect the USB cable from PC or still had it plugged in - AUX port takes...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Heya guys, sorry if I'm repeating questions, I've read a handful of pages but the thread's really long. Want to ask 3 things: 1) I notice a substancial difference when watching youtube videos between 2ch and 2ch Hi-res modes - both at the same volume and Flat EQ. Especially voices which sound...

    Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R

    Wow, thanks so much for going through my list :-) I keep nagging on this but it is a big factor: Does the 1R isolate well enough to not be noticable in a room with some people chatting here and there (a constant "loud whisper" sound) aka art class?  On a quieter environment, Would they...
