    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    What's that? (Excuse my ignorance.) Edit: Looks like software, which presumably you can't run on the PS5...

    Just seen this as well. Not sure if any good? Looks good for tweaking settings, but beyond that... https://uk.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-gc7#buy-menu

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Hi folks, I have recently managed to get a PS5 and I'm just trying to sort out the audio for it. On my PS4 I used an Astro mixamp (a fairly old one now, as I've been using it for years) and a set of 16ohm Beyerdynamic DT990's, with a modmic. I initially bought the new Pulse 3D Headset, but I'm...

    Review by 'MBRuss' on item 'Brainwavz BLU-200'

      Brainwavz BLU-200 Review:   With wireless headphones becoming increasingly popular and rumours that the next Apple iPhone will do away with the trusty 3.5mm headphone port, Bluetooth headphones have never been more relevant than they are now.  So when I was recently offered a pair of...

    Best USB DAC for Android around the £100 mark?

    Is there any sound benefit to doing this VS an all-in-one DAC/AMP?

    Best USB DAC for Android around the £100 mark?

    No, I hadn't considered this - I've not actually heard of that product at all.   That's kinda why I created this thread - I'm not really aware of what's out there, so thanks for the suggestion.   What is the advantage of going for the Hifimediy Sabre Android DAC and a separate amp?   Surely...

    Best USB DAC for Android around the £100 mark?

    Hi folks, as per the title I'm looking for a USB DAC to use with my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 4). I've just bought some JVC HA-SZ2000 cans and wanted to give them more power and a cleaner signal, plus the option for a bass boost. So far I've looked at the Fiio E18 and the Onkyo DAC...

    Brainwavz S1 Review

    Hi, thanks for the comment. I also tried the grey tips that came on the headphones in the box and the triple flanges and the Comply tips. For me, the triple flanges didn't really seem to work with my ears, though I may try again and see if I can get a better fit. The Comply tips were odd to use...

    Brainwavz S1 Review

    Brainwavz S1 Review:   The Brainwavz S1 headphones are a relatively inexpensive set of in-ear monitors, currently selling on Amazon for around $60/£37.  This puts them in the very saturated market of upgrade headphones for MP3 players and smartphones, which is a tough place to be.  They’re...

    BeyerDynamics DT990 Problem

    Hah, no need. I actually have been feeling a tickle in my left ear recently so yesterday I blindly ran my hand across the foam over the driver to try to get rid of whatever it was. After reading your post I took the headphones off and looked at them and straight away saw a hair stuck straight...

    BeyerDynamics DT990 Problem

    Next question - how do I check and how do I get the hair out? Take everything apart? Or is there a way to lightly vacuum it out or something?

    I guess. When the bass hits it's like a fluttery, farty kinda sound...

    BeyerDynamics DT990 Problem

    Hi folks, from recommendations on here I bought a pair of DT990s a few years ago and have been using them on and off for gaming. Recently I've been using them a lot more, and always at regular volumes with a mixture of game sound and voice chat coming through them. As I'm using the with a PS3...

    Best headphones for an immersive gaming experience on PS3 / Xbox?

    Thanks Riku.  I need that push to make the decision, else it'll never get made!  Time to get it done.

    Best headphones for an immersive gaming experience on PS3 / Xbox?

    Hah, thanks RexAeterna, I've not 100% made my choice, as in, I've not yet bought anything.   From what I've read though, the positional and other differences aren't that great between the DT880, and I'd likely not notice them unless I really analysed the sound (which I wouldn't be doing if I...
