I'm wondering if there has been any news or info about the Xonar U7 launch date. My current mobo is too full of GPU's to fit a Sound card so I have to go external (just nipping this issue before it comes up). I saw someone on here had one and there are one or two amazon sellers but...

I already have a set of Sennheiser 598's that I absolutely love. They are wonderful for both gaming and music and any general task I could want to do on my computer. They work fine where I do most of my gaming but, I've been getting back into playstation games as well lately. I've been playing...

The set of headphones I use to work out with are going out, I think. If the wire moves along my gym shorts it will cause the audio to be filled with static and what not. It just started happening recently and I am wondering if it's the headphones or possibly just my gym clothes. Anyone else...

So I saw they have a pretty nice rating on amazon at like 2000+ ratings and a little over 4 stars. For reference. I am considering them for a few reasons, aside from being fairly cheap I am thinking perhaps they will hold up a little better than my standard headphones for working out. As...

I know that almost invariably any headset with a mic tends to be overpriced and more importantly over hyped. The issue is, I'm looking for a set of headphones for someone else and honestly I'm hoping there is something out there that would be ideal. Keeping the story as short as possible...

I myself didn't have much choice, I wanted android and captivate was about all that existed on AT&T. So far it has been good enough but, I find it funny that most reviewing websites don't review sound quality when the original smartphone boom was partially because ipod fused with a phone.

My first set of higher quality headphones were some ATH ES7's which were "general use" because my gf hated hearing my music and I wanted something higher quality than ear buds to listen on. I later on wanted something better for playing games with for a better sense of immersion/competitive...

If a webpage is loading and there is no other sound? It is weird but, if I listen closely I can hear a staticy sound which is making me worried my headphone may be going out.. no major problems if I am playing music or anything.. just a really weird experience.. also weird I don't hear it...

So I have a Captivate and my brother is suggesting that the Walkman S series is going to provide better audio quality or even a generic walkman is probably going to give better audio quality. While I'm waiting on a new set of "earbuds" I've been wondering if there would really be any...

Had my Senn HD 598's and I was wondering if adding an amp could really give me a bigger difference in quality. I didn't have enough to pull the trigger on an amp a while back, but I was thinking it is as good of a time as any to start saving up and grab an amp. I already have a USB Sound card...

I think I am dead wrong in catagorizing them all as "earbuds" so I apologize.. However, I was wondering if there were any really good sets of portable headphones that could survive my pocket I should be aware of. I had a really decent pair that came with my samsung captivate, but the right...

So I've been using my Senn 598's for a month and I've had it highly recommended I get an amp in the past. Being a complete amp newb I am totally open for suggestions.. I want bang for buck.. I am thinking (Hoping) 50$ to 100$  will suffice for a decent amp. I'm also curious to know what...

I listen to (as I say often and many times) predominately metal. I am in absolute love with my Senn 598's. They are AMAZING they I have found lack in nothing from my rig. Now I have not had them an extremely long time and they are by no means "broke in" yet but, they have and are continuously...

So I got in a new sound card today and I must say I am toying around with different settings for some interesting effects. I noticed that putting it on "5.1" speakers makes it sound almost more like my headphones un tampered with. (discussing l4d2 here)   where as putting it on...

No room in my physical case for a pci sound card..   My pci slot is blocked.   Pcie slot is blocked   pci 2.0 slots are both used (6870 crossfire.)   Getting sennheiser 598's and looking for soundcard options.   Interested in dolby headphone surround if its any good.    

Sennheiser HD 598's are en route or should be soon.   Thanks to everyone who helped and sorry I've been such a pita on the board the last few days.   Now to find an external soundcard/amp    got what I consider a good...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829180006   Looking for a relatively cheap alternative to mixamp.   Open to other suggestions.

So before I drop 200$ on a set of headphones I won't be happy with..   I went to guitarcenter to check out and see what they sound like.. Well turns out when I called the guy said the set they have "out for repair" was in stock and they weren't.   The one guy I spoke to about them said...

Went to guitar center yesterday and they didn't have any beyerdynamics bt770.80 ohms to try out, so like every other purchase in my life, I get to buy before I try. So where is the best deal? I know when I bought my es7s there were a lot of bootleg copies so I don't want to get screwed over. Any...

I am looking for some new cans (duh).   The particular problem I've run into is I want to keep it under 200$ I have fond the AKG at right at 200$   My total budget is 209$ which is basically enough for the 601's and the mic I want.. I was reading that the 701's were powered by a mixamp...

Hello all, I have discussed this a little on the OCN (overclock.net) forums and figured I would make my way here to see if maybe I could finally decide on an upgrade from my Audio Technica ES7 and Plantronics Gamerscon whatever cheapo version it is (analog not usb.) I am looking to hopefully...

So I want a new set of headphones.   Budget roughly 100$ but, flexible.. pref keeping under 150$ as a hard limit.   I would idealistically love a huge sound stage. I am a big fan of immersion.. be it in games or in music.. Feeling like I am "there" is always more fun for me.   I also...

I'm looking to step up from my ES7's. I absolutely love them and they are great "fun" headphones as I was told over a year ago. I am not really looking to step up because I feel they lack quality and they in no way fail to meet any expectations however, I suppose I am just curious to see if I...

has anyone used these? http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169420200/categoryId.35096300 what can you tell me about them...   I look at them and cringe.. I love my audio technica ES7's I got for 90$ and I use them for everything.. But, I just played against people...

Just wondering if anyone hear used this mobo for listening wtih headphones and what they think of it.   I actually didn't even take sound quality into account when buying a mobo (i was more concerned with so many other factors it was unbelievable) However, I was quite pleased to notice the...
