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

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- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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?- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss

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...- MBRuss
