Quote: How do these compare to the AD700s in terms of gaming (detail/positioning/immersion/etc)?  I noticed that you have a Xonar so I'm assuming that you use Dolby Headphone, right?  How do the FA-011s measure up to the AD700s/turtle beaches?  

Pads are interesting...gel.  I wonder how that affects the sound.

Wow this seems amazing...I hope to check this out one day and also props for including the extra pic of Dynamic Audio as a nice hi-fi shop to possibly visit when overseas

Very interesting.  Suscribed.  Can't wait for more details

More competition in the $400-600 range? Yes please.

Better than your DT 880s? (in your sig).  880s are known to be pretty darn good for gaming, so if these are better positional-audio wise that's quite the accomplishment, especially because these have a nice lower end too. Quote:  

I see a few Ultrasone DJ1s (I think) around school or they could just be skullcandies or something, I don't stare too hard haha.  V-Moda Crossfades once too.

Any gaming (positional audio/immersion/etc) impressions/comparisons to top gaming phones on these yet?

Quote: I personally think if you shopped the ESW9's onto g-dragon down there they'd look a helluva lot better than the Beats...just my opinion.  

Quote:   How is it for gaming?  Esp. with Dolby Headphone.       Also, it seems like theres a lot of varying opinions so far.  Are the mids there?  Forward, yet intimate?  Or are they recessed like a lot of bass-heavy cans can be.  If so, how badly?  I know some people have said...

To all the owners that have both the D7000 AND the Pro 900, do any of you guys know how the D5000 might slot in with the other two cans?  Just curious, since the D7000 is a little bit out of the Pro 900's price range.

At school - I consistently see one guy with Shure750DJs walking around, not always listening to them though.  Other then that lots of Beats - mostly Solos and Studios, some of the iems too (tours?).  Some of those colorful Panasonic phones you can get at Urban Outfitters, some earbuds and a lot...

How badly do these need an amp to perform to their potential?  Could anybody who has these running with normally with a dedicated amp try them straight out of an unamped source? (ipod, soundcard, etc)  And comment on the difference. I"m wondering if something like an Essence STX or the...

I'm thinking of picking these phones up as a compliment.  My current stable is all closed phones, and mostly bass-heavy phones with a slightly (ymmv) recessed midrange.  Would these satisfy me as being an open phone with a larger soundstage than say, Pro 900s/D5000s, while also being more...

I'm glad these phones seem to be working out for most of the people that ordered them.  I have to admit I"m a little disappointed by the reports of just average soundstage and imaging though; has anyone tried them with gaming yet?  Seems like they'd be just average...but who knows Still...

Planning on getting these, but I realized that most of my music is 192/320kbps/VBR MP3.  I have a fair amount of FLAC music too though, but still the majority of my music collection at the moment is probably of lower than ideal quality. Is this going to be a problem with these Ultrasones because...

Hey guys, I tried a search but didn't find too much.   How are the D5000s (stock) for gaming?  I know that they're generally considered good...but how good?  Mostly for FPS-es...I would assume they'd be pretty similar to the D7000 but I"m not sure if soundstage differences would change...

AKG-518LE's are something to be considered if you're using them as portable phones, I think they look pretty nice - but they're bordering garish and subtle so I"m not sure if they'd be your style.  Definitely a budget pair of headphones but decent SQ nonetheless if you want a cheaper (~$50) option.

I'm a lot younger than the average poster in this thread I assume, but thats of course because it seems like I've inherited some gear that I didn't think of previously...this stuff is currently sitting in the garage with no use on them so I think I'll play around with them pretty soon.    ...

S-Logic/S-Logic+ and Dolby Headphone - yay or nay? Now I"m pretty sure the answer is "yay" due to the various positive impressions I've been reading but I"m just wondering if anybody in this thread has any of their own (in-depth) impressions to share, to help me out and of course to help the...

Nice review, thanks for taking the time to do so.  Always good to hear varying impressions from people.  I was wondering if you had a chance to test out how the J$ Pads might've changed the Pro 900s as movie/gaming cans?  Because with the differences that you described it seemed like they quite...

I really wanted to check these out but all the postage issues are kind of scaring me away...hopefully theres a happy ending for everyone who purchased them though!  Still awaiting impressions, especially gaming/positional audio-related ones from more members (:

I'm looking forward this as my first FPS that I purchased was actually BF 1942 way back.  The trailers look amazing and I think it's fairly obvious at this point that BF is going to have a technical edge on whatever CoD comes out in November... I do actually enjoy CoD too though -  I don't...

Quote: LOL, no, but that would be a pretty creative use for them.  They're for her to use as multi-purpose phones, I got 'em in the black/yellow color combo which I think looks pretty nice.   Quote: That's great!  The AKG701s are known as very, very good headphones...

Hate to quote myself but was afraid that my post got lost in the sea of posts about lookat/other stuff.  Definitely going to be a future owner soon, but still interested whether or not I need to pick up another set of separate gaming phones.  Thanks for any input from any members.   Quote...
