Quote: Damn!   This test is freakin awesome on my DT770's. Anyways, OP I am in the same situation as you. However Ive had my DT770's for only a week and while they are great, I find that I am not using them as much as I thought I would. I am returning them today and replacing them with...

Ive played a few games with the DT770's today(80ohm). Im blown away. These are my first real set of cans and they are amazing imo. Im a basshead so I need something that hits deep. BC2 was a blast. The sound was amazing. I am an avid S&D player on MW2, so sound staging is important for me. I...

Bought the DT770's primarily for music, Ill see how they go for gaming!

Quote: Anyone else have any other opinions on running a DT770/80 through an iPod Classic? This whole amp thing is turning me away from buying some good headphones because even if I do get them, the amp will probably just be another thought down the line.....

Thanks for the help guys, Ypoknons that was very informative post!   I'll be going off to try out the Beyer DT770's 80 ohm version today, I havent heard them yet but I do hope itll suit my needs. Do you guys think an ipod/iphone would have sufficient power to drive these cans?

Its beginning to confuse me alot, I think I am putting in too much thought into it. So if I am right, ohms just refer to electrical resistance? So a 250 ohm headphone would be more difficult to drive than an 80ohm?   The reason Im asking is, Im looking to get a pair of of headphones for...

Anyone have any links to some? I did a search but most of the results are from people suggesting that others would make a FAQ, lol.   I dont have a set of 'phones right now but I do have some IEM's and Ive been doing some reading here, and its kinda confusing. Any help?

  Quote: Yes, I game on consoles so pretty much soundcards are a no for me, however if I find a decent pair of headphones Ill be buying the Astro Mixamp somewhere down the line.         With all these suggestions, do you guys know of any shops that'll let me demo them? Buying...

Quote: I havent tried any headphones yet, but as for IEM's I have a pair of Sony MDR-EX71's and a Bose IEM I got as a gift.   I use the Bose IEM's when I game because I hear things better, but they arent that great. the sound is really in my head, which makes pinpointing footsteps...

Well it seems I've been bitten by the headfi bug. A couple of days earlier I made a thread asking about some good gaming headphones, now I have totally changed my mind about them and stretched my budget up a bit.     I've been doing some reading and looking up various reviews. Im looking...

Thanks for the info, Ill read up on those you suggested. The only thing keeping me away from getting other headphones is the mic compatibility for the xbox 360. For my PS3 I know I can use any USB mic but Im not so sure on the 360's mic. edit: just noticed I made a typo in my username, damn

Hey guys, Im looking for a good set of headphones that I can use while playing my xbox 360 and PS3. They'll be used exclusively for gaming only, so musical quality is not that much of a concern. I play alot of online shooters, so hearing people's footsteps is a big concern. I have a budget...
