I'm wondering, are you guys using any processing when listening to these games? I'm a MW2 guy and the sound coming from the Astro MixAmp, when I feel like being quite as I much rather use my 7.1, I get fatigued by the sound of Dolby Headphones.

So I bought a Mini3 from a head-fi member who was close to my location. Everything worked great with the thing using my old JVC HA RX900 and an old pair of Sony Noise canceling headphones. The Mini3 actually made the Sony sound better but I digress. I recently acquired a DT770/250 from...

thank you! can you describe the sound stage in terms of depth and width along with the bass impact? also, I'm considering the DT 770 or 880. I understand the closed 770s and the semi open 880s have the same driver? It's just the back that's different? Is that really the case? Also being very...

Audio Technica ES7 -

ahh, thanks for the entry. I'm really getting excited about those HD 25s Are there more that I am overlooking? Perhaps the RP-21?

I'm going to go ahead and assume that all of these headphones in consideration are a step up from what I got right now. I want to hear a Beyer, AKG, Shure, Senn, I want them all!!!

yiiiikes!! $250 is a bit out of my price range although thanks! which of the ultrasones have the best impact and then a wide soundstage vs. the RX900?

ATH-AD700 = no bass made me shrivel up on the inside

so...here's my first thread. I figure I should stop hijacking other people's threads. I'm in search for the ultimate headphones for the office. I know I've written these somewhere before and it's playing like a damn broken record but here I am again. I initially ordered the AD700 and JVC...

hmm, stuffing looks promising. Just gotta find foam now. Nice lil project for tomorrow. I'm sure I can find some foam at work BTW - I respectfully beg to differ as far as amping is concerned. My HA900s sound just fuller vs. just using plain ole laptop sound card. My music is mainly MP3 and I...

Quote: Originally Posted by PRL OK, so i guess I'll buy the AD700, hope I won't get disappointed. Thanks just a fair warning, I returned my AD700 due to thin sound. Not having any impactful bass is sort of a turn off. I did love the airyness of the set and want that captured in...

I have the RX900 and did the mod for them. Sounds great EQ'd and AMPed but sort of flat unamped. I'm wondering if that is the case for all headphones The amp I use is a rockhopper Mini3 bought from a Head-fi user who lived close by. Now, I'm selling my RX900 for an upgrade as well so I...

hmm, those AKGs sound interesting for my office applications as well.

thanks for this, easy to do and freed up some Hz perfect for office listening for myself and I wouldn't mid just throwing them in my laptop bag end of day. Thanks again!
