    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

      One quirk with Creative's software is that speaker settings don't get saved to Profile. Consequently, instead of saving 2 profiles separately with 2.0 and 5.1 speakers (while I really only have stereo speakers), I have to repeat the above steps all the time. Furthermore, speaker position...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

      I use mainly 2 pair of headphones, Sennheiser PXC 450 (noise-cancelling headphones) and HD 700. The PXC 450 is mostly for office use (closed-back and noise-cancelling are handy features), and I just bought the HD 700 very recently. Still getting use to the HD 700 (sounds significantly better...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    Just want to post it here as I saw someone asking earlier and it took me quite some time to figure this out:   For PC gaming with SBX Pro Studio Surround using headphones:   (1) Disable "Direct Mode" and enable "Surround".  (2) Set speakers configuration to 5.1. It doesn't matter you...

    Sennheiser PXC 450 serial number - Help Needed

    Sigh, I guess there isn't much I can do even if I see it pops up on local craiglists then... The thief didn't steal the carrying case and the adapters though. And there are some wears on the ear pads (after 3 years of daily wearing) that I can recognized right away.

    Sennheiser PXC 450 serial number - Help Needed

    I got my PXC 450 stolen today . I have reported the case to the police and I would like to provide them with the serial number of the headphones.   Although I bought them a few years ago, I still have the original box with me and there are more than 1 number on it that looks like a serial...

    REVIEW: ACS custom tips + SENNHEISER IE8

    By the way, how much does an audiologist typically charge for making an earmold impressions? I called an audiologist to request pricing information, and I somehow missed their call when they tried to got back to me. They left me a voice message saying that it would cost $50. Not cheap, but the...

    REVIEW: ACS custom tips + SENNHEISER IE8

    ajmiarka, how soft is the EP material? Compared to, say, the stock silicon tips or the stock foam tips? Do you think going from canal to full/half shell would improve isolation? After all only the canal part is plugged into your ears... Anyway, I am worrying that the full/half shell earmolds...

    Build quality of IE8 (failed QA?)

    My first pair of IE8 had distortion in the right channel with moderately high (but humanly listenable) volume level. It actually sounded like something was vibrating inside, probably they didn't apply enough glue to hold things together (just guessing, I don't know if any glue was used in the...

    Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread

    Kudos to Sennheiser USA! My IE8 had some slight distortion in the right channel right out of the box, and with a little burn-in, they went away. However, the distortion reappeared last week and became worse. I emailed Sennheiser and they believed that my pair was defective. I shipped them...
