Evshroug, if I may, have you had time to play a little with the Omni? :)    I was looking at it for my laptop but I'm concerned it might show the same "problem" Anarion mentioned.. Incredibly high gain on the headphone out. This shouldn't be a problem with high impedance headphones but...

Oh :| Guess I havent't been much useful then :/ That's strange, creative states having corrected this bug in the april release of Recon3D drivers but if you already have the latest ones I guess that the issue they are speaking of is a different one...   Still wondering why the Z I owned...

  Sorry for recovering this old post: I'm unable to find the complete changelog (only found it on waybackmachine) but I noticed that an April update of Recon3D PCI-express drivers explicitly states of having solved the bug you mention :) By chance have you updated to the latest Recon3D drivers...

Thanks :) I was pretty worried as.. you know, my old cresyn earbuds, who happily "volunteerd" to be the first thing connected to the SBZ, are alive by sheer luck -.-' Whilst with the old card I could keep the gain in windows at 50% with the Z I have to keep it at 5% max... practically i can't...

Wish I could :) I have the Z, not the ZxR... And whilst the ZxR lets you choose, the Z is stuck on 600ohm -.-' Go figure what creative was thinking...

Mmm... Does the MA900 really behave like a 16ohm impedance volume gain wise? I just discovered that the Sound Blaster Z i use has a WRONG gain on the headphone circuit.. the top tier ZxR allows to choose between 32ohm and 600 ohm modes but the Z is fixed at 600. To put this clear: i need to...

If I may.. when driving the MA900 with the ZxR set at 600 ohm what gain you use?  I find pretty hard understanding this headphones.. their impedance is "regulated" at 12ohm.. and as my Sound blaster Z has the amp FIXED at 600 (only the ZxR can choose) I wonder how the MA900 will fare with it :|

MLE, thank you for suggesting me the MA900 :) It seems the right choice for me: I'm now returning my DT990 and waiting refund to order the MA900 (if I'll be able to hold on so long :P).   I noticed one thing, just out of curiosity: these are open headphones and so sound leaking is expected...

If I may ask one last question before deciding... o:) How's the bass on the MA900 compared to the DT990? 

Quote:   I live in Italy: 255 euros from Amazon.it.. O.o the reason it costs so much less in the .de site is out of my comprehension :| Anyway it seems to be one of that articles that amazon won't sell everywhere: I can add it to my cart etc but when going to buy it the familiar "some...

  Thank you MLE :) I looked at the MA900 too.. the strange thing is that here in Europe these cost MORE than the X1.. and a lot more..    The X1 is 199 euros, 265 dollars The MA900 is 255 euros, 350 dollars   Given this thing I should go for the X1, what do you think?

@Evshrug:   :D Ok, let's start with the OT part ;) Shaving it all was the best thing I've ever done, never looked back since: more confortable, better looking and better feeling. Only problem.. shaving means that there's nothing keeping your skin oil from getting transferred so be prepared...

Hello everyone    I must admit I subscribed right now to ask for your help..  I received yesterday my brand new DT990 Pro after carefully reading Mad Lust Envy reviews (by the way, thank you for writing 'em)! I really like them (feel the trebles a little to harsh for my taste but everything...
