I read around a little more. Does the Siberia V2 really lack a noticeable amount of soundstage compared to the AD700? I have the Astro A40 and AD700 and I feel I have to use the A40 because the AD700 STILL hurts my ears with those highs. I feel like I need something with a balance between good...

I have the AD-700 that I use for music, but with the mixamp on shooters they have very screeching highs that literally hurt my ears. Directional audio and such is fine with Dolby Headphone, but I need something with a little more bass. I actually prefer a headset with a microphone. I'd rather...

Heh the mixamp seems to add dB by itself to the lows causing buzzing on high bass. Too bad for me...

Quote: Well I use my Realtek EQ and honestly still thinks it sounds amazing. With the Realtek EQ off for the whole PC everything sounds like straight crap.  

Quote: For the first time after three years of owning my Astro mixamp I finally tried the AD700 with it. Bass is just nicer is all I can really say. Should I be using the iTunes EQ with it still? Flat sounds bad...or is there some universal EQ or program I should I have?   EDIT: It...

Quote: Would I really need to amp one of those? Otherwise I'll just buy it next week.

Quote: Thanks for the input. I turned the preamp all the way down and turned up my volume a little and its completely gone. My EQ is a lot different than that though.    My highs are up a lot. Drains down the vocals a little bit, but honestly I tried yours and it sounded too hollow...

double post woops

Quote: I initially did a few months ago. I rid of it by readjusting. I can't name exactly why I did. But there is hardly any static now with somewhat sufficient bass.

Quote: I honestly didn't even touch the preamp. Just screwed with all the frequencies. I adjusted it enough to sound clearer than flat with more bass as well. Should I not do this? I feel as if this set up right now sounds pretty amazing already.

Quote: Yeah that's why I kind of feel of the 595 too. What would be a better upgrade?   Also is it a problem that I'm already using iTunes EQ with everything? Throwing an amp on top of that won't be a problem right, but just cause better performance?

I'm thinking about just amping my AD700. Might get a card with an internal headphone amp. Would this be a better difference than just getting a 595 with no amp? Also which card would be best? Preferably under $200?

Do you know anything "a step above" the 595 for under $250?

I currently own the AD700 accompanied with my onboard soundcard. Oddly enough you guys might think, I think these sound amazing with just my standard Realtek Audio Manager functions and some enhancers in iTunes.  Anyway, I feel like wasting some money.        So I see HD 595 is $120...

I may want to get the card if it will be better by maybe at least 15-20%. Yeah my integrated chipset right now does sound good, although I've never used any headphones on a separate card. I've also never tried any pair of headphones amped. So I won't know what they really sound like to compare...

I currently have the AD700 and they lack some bass definitely.  But are still amazing headphones and sound ridiculously good.   I have a budget of $220 and don't know whether I should buy the HD 595 or something.      Here are my options   a) HD 595 or similar headphone - unamped...

I mean since I've never even tried any amp what will difference will the Forte's amp sound like compared to no amp? What is this thing like Auzen X-Fi Bravura from Auzentech, Inc. : World First soundcards for Music, HTPC, and Gaming.

anyone?

What difference will I notice with an amp for these headphones as I currently do not use one?

I'll be using it with an AD-700. Any other sound cards that are better than it for its price? What difference will I notice with an amp for these headphones as I currently do not use one?

I just bought some AD700s to use for my computer and the new sound card I'm getting but I wanted to use them with my Astro mixamp on my 360. They're great with the computer even the onboard sound, but lack a lot of bass with the mixamp. Would a Total Bithead work with an Astro mixamp and the...
