Hi I'm looking Advice on which headphones to buy to use for movies music and gaming. On terms of budget, we're talking between 200 CAD$ to 400$ CAD. I intend to use the headphones to listen to music, movies, tv shows and a lot of gaming as well. My personal preference is for headphones that...

Quote: Well. I did find a few soundcards that are pretty universal... The new drivers did help a little in the end. The ones I'm using right now allow for much lower DPC latency which results in a slightly better emulation but the big difference for me came from toying with the Flexible...

Quote:   Quote:     I'm not sure yet... but I have a feeling maybe my Xonar DX's Dolby Headphone techology is just "weak"... I'm thinking maybe I ought to get a better soundcard... and I might finally enjoy some decent virtual surround sound into my PC360s...   I'm tryin to...

Quote: Well, even with DH-1 setup with the PC360s and my Xonar DX, I still feel the decrease in sound quality... that feeling that all the sounds feel like the inside of a tin can... Very annoying... Somehow, when I was using the A50s outputting sound from the optical cable to the TX amp...

Quote: Yes I know that. But its when I'm actually gaming that I notice the "tin can" effect... because its emulating surround sound to my pc360s... Are TRUE surround sound headsets that bad (the ones with multiple speakers inside the ear cups)

Quote: Well to be honnest, I don't think the PC360's sound is bad. They're actually VERY precise... I'D say they're quite "neutral"... they reflect with much fidelity what the soundcard is out-putting... its just that they feel a bit more "empty" compared to the boomy a50s... But I fixed...

Ok so I just got the PC360 headset, and right now I'm not very impressed... but I think I need some advice on setting it all up...   The PC360s have 2x 3.5mm jacks (mic + headphone) and I plugged them both in the front panel analog inputs (mic + headphone). In my XONAR DX soundcard panel, I...

Quote: Yes I am returning the A50s, I was asking the questions I asked because I'm still using the a50s while I wait for the PC360s to arrive, and because I want to further my knowledge before they arrive... makes my life easier ;)

I'm having a hard time figuring out how surround sound works with my setup. Right now, I'm using the Astro A50 (TX amp) with my soundcard (Xonar DX). I have a SPDIF cable going from my soundcard's optical out to the TX amp optical IN...   Here are my questions: - In "Playback devices"...

What about the TRITTON WARHEAD headset?   I haven't seen it in the Headset reviewed... Know anything about them?  

Quote: Ok thanks. I checked the links. I didn't know such adapters existed for the Xbox 360. My next question was going to be: Using that adaptor of yours, it wouldn't be surround sound coming into the headset right? One would need a MIX amp hooked up with an optical cable coming out of...
