Wow, that's a pretty awesome mic. I might actually pick one up myself pretty cheap too! I wonder how easily it will come off though, might pay to stick something into the connection

Hi everyone,   Just as the title states, friend wants a headset for gaming and voice chat...  I tried suggesting headphones + a clip on mic but he wants a proper headset.   Hes looking at this list of headphones http://i.imgur.com/Okr2a.jpg from a local online website (pricespy.co.nz)...

Ha, funny that I would see your post after reading up on a few things... Anyways to get to the point read through the few links I've included... Apparently(I haven't heard it myself) the DT880 are really good for gaming. Link one...

Quote: That's a bloody good price!!! But probably because of that this happened. http://www.3news.co.nz/Eastern-HiFi-goes-into-receivership/tabid/421/articleID/137238/Default.aspx Quite unfortunate really, New Zealand really needs someone to cheaply supply headphones in general. I...

Quote: You're kidding me! I had a look at those jmoney pads they're classy! Ah, well you win some you lose some!   How much do D2000's usually go for on this forum?

Sorry for the slow reply   Quote: Wow!!! That's awesome I never even knew google could do that! Thanks!   It's weird though, one seller has it for 196 but they're out of stock... Must be what Hams talking about.   Quote: Ah! I never knew about that, that's probably why...

Cheaply that is.   I was almost ready to go to buy Denon AH-D2000's from Amazon for 220USD which suited to my budget perfectly. It would have costed $300ish for the headphones and $50 for the postage(I live in New Zealand) So I had to use a 3rd party shipper.   But then they shot the...

Stunning! Yes it helped out loads! Now I just have to buy the bloody things!!   You talk about a SS Headphone amplifier.. (I'm not really a audiophile) How much would one of these set me back?   Also, what kind of SS amp would you suggest? (or any bang-for-buck amp would you suggest)

Sounds like its ******* sorted then... I'll ask for a refund/replacement and try and get some D1000's 'cause I think they could be nice... What do people usually listen to when using the D1000s?   Because I usually play a lot of games as well...   I had a look at the D2000s god they...

Hey there.. I've been wondering about how the Denon AH-D1000's sound. I currently have Beyerdynamic DTX800s which I have owned for about half a year now.   There's something rattling around in the left speaker cup so I'm about to send it back annd maaaybe get try and get a refund... and...

Wooahh nice! What made you settle for the D2? I'm pretty much a heavy gamer and a heavy music listener So I dunno... What was wrong with the Prelude that you got? But unfortunately I only have about 200NZ to spend soo yeah most good cards are out of my reach ha!

Sounds goodish ima get a prelude for 180ish which is like half price which sounds grreaat to me.

But wouldn't the refurbished models be half ****ed? I really wouldn't mind hearing from people that actually got refurbished models to see if theirs worked correctly.. Cause I really wouldn't mind the prelude since its $330nz normally and $135 refurbished.. =D Other than that the forte...

Okay so the Forte is $200 that sounds goodish is it good for music as well? Who is Bravura and Titanium HD made by?

Its so hard to pick a good sound card.. Like there's lots of good reviews but then there is an equal amount of **** reviews.. For example the ASUS Xonar DX they're lots of good review but there's just a few that make me worry.. Haha

Um, well I play a lot of games so I would like good game support but then most of the time I play music over the actual game sounds so I'm not sure aye.. I haven't got a headphone amplifier. I have 3 x PCI Express x1 slot and 3 x PCI slots.. So ya suggestions would be great.. I've already...

Hey guys, I just got my scholarship and incidentally I need a new sound card.. =DD Funny that. I'm currently running off my inbuilt Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R sound... I also have beyerdynamics DTX800 for headphones.. So a sound card around 100-200nz should be goodish I've never owned a sound...

Thanks for telling me about that site, dreadful. It's actually a lot cheaper than what I thought it would be. Looking for the ATH-AD700s now can't seem to find a shop but I'll go have a nap and search later Um, I can only seem to find one shop selling the AD700s but they sell them for...

Mhhmm so I pretty much can't get the HARX700's since I can't find anyone that imports them to NZ.. Bugger. (Btw Creative X-Fi = $150nz) I'm really not looking for too much over the top bass.. Just enough to notice gun shots, explosions.. Do you think the HD-555 would do the trick? 'Cause...

Gah, 150 and 250.. Yeah, My wallet really can't handle much since I just finished building my new computer xD Can't I just get AD700-AD900s then a few weeks later get a Creative or Auzentec card? Oh yeah and thanks for the welcome =]

You see, the original list Idea was 1. Get decent headphones that I can listen to at night.. 2. Figure out if I needed an amp/soundcard. 3. Decide what amp/soundcard I needed. 4. Save up and buy that. =]]

Ugh, Don't "Good" sound cards cost lots though? I really really don't have a lot of money. Even $200nz is really stretching it.. Want to suggest some soundcards?

Hahaha, honestly I'm still gaming with my normal Mobo out.. Its an average to high end mobo though so yeaah... Back in my youth(4years ago) I had headphones almost identical to the JVC HA-RX700 they were very cheap as well like $30ish..(On special) They were nice, 'cept then they broke. =[ I do...
