Thanks!

Evsshrug, thanks for the clarifying that what I am experience is likely a closed headphone thing. I'll add the AKG K612 to my headphone hunt this weekend. Cheers!

Thanks Stillhart and Donnyboy98, I will try and locate these and try them out this weekend.

Hi,   I currently have a pair of Creative Live Aurvana 2s, but I have a problem with how loud they make my own voice sound when I'm talking with them on (no sound is being played back through the headphones, it is my actual voice that becomes loud and boomy inside my head). It's a physical...

  Thanks, I will post my question on that thread.   The mic level is not the problem, I'm not hearing my own voice being played back to me, I'm hearing my actual voice very loudly. It's more of a physical charactersistic of something encompassing my ear, and I was wondering whether this was...

Thanks!   I tried to locate the AD700X and the HD598 in stores over the weekend, but I had no luck. In fact, they seemed to completely lack open-back headphones set up for customers to test (perhaps because the sound isolation in a noisey store will mean that a demo does not do them justice?)...

Thanks! I'll take a look at the AD700X, it certainly looks promising :) How does it compare to the HD 598 (noticed a few suggestions for that when I began researching th AD700X).   The one detail I forgot to mention, which you have reminded me of, is that I already have a soundcard (Creative...

Hi,   I currently own a pair of Aurvana Live 2s, with an Antlion ModMic 4.0 attached, which I use predominantly for FPS games (mostly Arma series, and recently DayZ SA). However, I have found that the the closed-back nature of the headphones might be responsible for making my voice really loud...

Thanks! Sorry, thought I had replied!

Hi,   Apologies for the obviously basic question. I have tried to find an answer myself first, but I would like to be sure that it will work.   To summarise, I have a cheap old stereo audio system (JVC MX-KC38) and a PC with a Creative Soundblaster Z sound card. I would like to connect the...

Thanks :)

  With the CAL 2? Or original CAL? Sounds like a worthwhile upgrade...:)

Hi,   I have tried to read as much of this thread as I could, along with several others, and I will admit that I am unusually confused still. I'm building my own PC (most likely windows 8.1) that will be used for gaming (non-competitive) amongst other things. I really want to get as immersive...

Thanks! Have you had any experience with the standard ear-piece v molded one?   Quote:  

I'm looking for something to use while commuting (1.5 hours a day). I'm not an audiophile in the sense that many on here may be (yet), so I doubt that I would need the best that money could buy, and I don't think I'd want to spend that just yet either! I would guess that maximum isolation would...
