I'm sensing a lot of OCD here, you guys must freak out at the thought of other people listening to your cans! I just stick mine on my stand and wipe them down every now and then, otherwise I just enjoy listening to them and don't worry about dust too much.

It's a shame you had problems as the Prelude is a fantastic card. I moved from the X-Fi Elite Pro to the Prelude and thankfully Auzentech are often releasing updated drivers, the latest making some very nice improvements.

The HD650 is a truly amazing headphone, I mostly use my via my PC Auzentech Prelude > Toslink > Headroom Balanced Desktop DAC > Equinox Balanced Cable with a couple of EQ tweaks and they blow me away every time. I went away on holiday for a couple of weeks and when I came back and listened to...

Game Mode supports EAX 5.0 whereas Audio Creation Mode only supports up to EAX 3.0 You can look up the difference in EAX here: Environmental audio extensions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Audio Creation mode's main panel you can set the option to Bit-Perfect. I still don't...

That's strange because I get full EAX sound through my setup? X-Fi Prelude -> Toslink -> Headroom Balanced Desktop+DAC I'm not even using Dolby Digital Live but the effects are 100% there. I used to have an X-Fi Elite Pro and I am definitely getting the same effects I always have.

I highly recommend this light weight program, it's portable (needs no install) and can adjust other audio properties. dronten - jTagger

Shame on Westone, advertising the 3's and letting them slip further and further without a single word to the community. Terrible service. I have taken up Earphone Solutions offer on the SE530's, not the outcome I wanted but I've had enough waiting. To those who wait, good luck with your patience!

My Prelude has a really low recording volume, It's a shame because otherwise the Prelude is amazing. I am currently using a Line 6 UX2 for recording (mostly guitar) but would much prefer my microphone to record directly into the soundcard.

They certainly are amazing 'phones, just wait until you hear them balanced!

skudmunky, if your not using any gaming features why not run it in Audio Creation with Bit-Matched playback? Your gaining nothing by running in game mode without EAX or CMSS-3D. When gaming I use Game Mode with EAX and CMSS-3D in headphone mode. CMSS-3D has much better positioning in...

For me and my 650's it seemed bring out the bass a bit more, it had more of a punch to it, less muddy. I definitely prefer the sound I have now without the outer foam. I stretched some pantyhose material over the entire inner grill section and clamped it in to protect the driver from dust...

My 650's are just like this, so no matter how big my head may grow at least I can rely on my Senn's! 2600ÔªµÄÉ*º£Èû¶ûHD650¶ú»ú£¬ºáÁºÍäÕÛÇ¿¶È²âÊÔ£¡ - ÊÓƵ - ÔÚÏß¹Û¿´ - ÍÁ¶¹Íø Dont ask me what's going on here though?! ÊÓƵ½Ìѧ£º ÈçºÎ²ðжÉ*º£Èû¶û¶ú»úHD650/600µÄ¶úÕÖ£¡£¡£¡ - ÊÓƵ -...

I would not even bother watching The Brits whereas Eurovision is so bad that it's good, you can't take it seriously although I'm sure many countries do. You also have to laugh at how the votes go, you can see a lot of political ties through Eurovisions votes

I have been using my 650's with an Equinox single ended cable and Gilmore Lite w/DPS. I've enjoyed this setup for a while now but have recently purchased the HeadRoom Balanced Desktop w/Home DAC with an Equinox Balanced Cable, it arrived last Friday and I can't believe the change in sound...

When I connect my Headroom Balanced Desktop with DAC via Toslink it works perfectly fine but my Preludes Audio Console SPDIF/IO and Digital Out Sampling Rates are greyed out. Does anyone know if this is normal? I get great sound from my setup but just want to know if it's working as good as...
