    Philips Fidelio X3

    Price 3990 SEK (~450 USD)(same as my earlier post from webhallen), with a (specifically stated) unconfirmed delivery date of 12th of September. This price includes Swedish VAT (25%), so US equivalent price would be roughly $360 w/o VAT. Specs you might find interesting (taken from Komplett)...

    Philips Fidelio X3

    Looks like the release is in august based on this swedish shopping site, webhallen is quite large in Sweden so it's likely that this is correct: https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/317745-Philips-Fidelio-X3-tradbundna-over-ear-horlurar-med-oppen-baksida-Svart Price: 4000 SEK, currently that is...

    Replacement for Fidelio X2 (Budget $500)

    Thanks for the recommendation, but based on reviews it's quite creaky in terms of construction, and quite tight on the head. I would rather spend a bit more and get something with a more solid and comfy build, anything you can recommend for that?

    Replacement for Fidelio X2 (Budget $500)

    Hi, My pair of Fidelio X2 have unfortunately started to break (ear cushions are falling to pieces, glued stuck as far as I can tell and thus can't easily be replaced), and therefore I figure this might be a good opportunity for me to upgrade a bit. I've been very happy with the fit and sound...

    Allround headset (budget max $300)

    Afraid the Fidelio are about a $100 out of budget in europe, otherwise they seemed like they would have been very interesting. I'm definitely gonna see if I can find somewhere to try out the 990's though, they might be interesting, as long as the bass isn't to overpowering.   Thanks!  ...

    Allround headset (budget max $300)

    Hi, I'm currently considering getting a new headset which will be used for gaming, movies and music(mostly stuff from the monstercat channel). The headset will be used for up to 15 hours a day (I am a programming student), and as such have to be very comfortable. My head is relatively small, I...

    SUPRA Headphones - NITRO & HALO

    I'm afraid I have not been able to try any of the products you mentioned, other than some of the CX line-up (which didn't even come close to the sound quality of the nitro, nor the same feeling of quality), and I did consider the S4, but I decided against them after reading some reviews. In...

    SUPRA Headphones - NITRO & HALO

    Just thought I'd give you an update with my thoughts sofar (I'm comparing to Sennheiser Momentum and Denon AH 560R): -More base heavy than the Momentum, but still very clear in terms of sound (I listen to mostly EDM using the S3 if that helps) -Cable noise isn't brilliant, but leagues ahead of...

    SUPRA Headphones - NITRO & HALO

    Just thought I'd let you know I've purchased the Nitro's and after letting them burn in (according to how the manual recommends: 4 hours on, 2 hours off, 2 hours on and then 2 hours off and then you're apparently good to go), I can say that they seem pretty good, I might do a quick review after...

    SUPRA Headphones - NITRO & HALO

    Doesn't look like it's the same if you compare the specs, the frequency response for OM is 20Hz-20kHz whilst the supra are 16Hz-22kHz, and the supra have a 9mm driver whilst the OM have a 10mm driver.

    Sport inears for running and skiing ($80)

    My old pair of Denon AH-C560R inears have given up on me, so I was thinking about getting a proper pair of sport in-ears this time. I'm currently looking at the Sennheiser CX 685, so I was wondering if someone had any experience with them, and what alternatives there are in roughly the same...

    Headphones to combine with ASUS Xonar U7

    I am considering upgrading my stationary rig from my current setup (Razer Megalodon), since now that I have upgraded my mobile rig I do not want a lesser sounding stationary rig. Sadly I do not have room for a internal sound card,therefore I have decided upon getting the ASUS Xonar U7 USB sound...

    USB-soundcard capable of simulating 7.1 (using Sennheiser Momentum headphones), or all-in-1 set?

    Quote: I can find it for around $110(CHF) where I live, which I'm ok with, but are there any other options in the same price range?  And how do USB-soundcards compare to PCI-soundcards?

    USB-soundcard capable of simulating 7.1 (using Sennheiser Momentum headphones), or all-in-1 set?

    Quote: Thank you, I looked at it and noticed the Xonar U7 USB instead, but I couldn't find a lot of reviews for it. The U7 looks to me like it is a little better in general, or am I wrong?
