    AudioTechnica ATH AD-700 dilemma

    Had my AD700s for what feels like 10 years. Love em. Drive them with a Xonar U7 external card. Here's the issue: My pads are worn out. They don't make the AD700s anymore, now they make the AD700x. The 700x are nowhere near as comfortable as the 700s. They feel like cheap plastic. The...

    Asus Xonar U7 vs FiiO E10k

    I'm currently using onboard ALC892 on a MSI Z87-G55 motherboard and even though this onboard is a lot better than what onboard was years ago, I want something better.   My headphones are the Audiotechnica ATH-AD700 (love these things).  The sound stage is very wide and so I feel like I get a...

    Headphones & Mic Combo

    I am looking into going for a headphone/mic combo to compare to my PC350s. I like the PC350s, but my curiosity is killing me about some other options. Basically, I have it narrowed down to the AT AD700 and the Senn HD555. I heard the HD595s need a decent amp to drive them, but not sure if the...

It'll be the...

He claims that with motherboards in general and especially newer boards that sound cards are a waste of resources because the PCI slot on the mobo cannot provide...

    Sennheiser PC350s and onboard (no bass)

    So I just made the switch to the PC350s. Slick lookin and feel good. Sound is crisper, but there is absolutely no bass. No bass in music, and not much deep or low tones in games. I'm using the Realtek onboard with an XFX 780 SLI board. Already jacked up the low frequencies on the equalizer...
