Quote: The AX720 is a great versatile system which does not limit you to using just the stock headset. For the price it does offer a decent edge in competitive FPS mulitplayer. Im not a big fan of it in terms of music and movies and the soundstage with the stock cans arent as broad and...

Recently got mine yesterday and Im using it for gaming with my Astro Mixamp. I have to say that it gets loud and it gets AWESOME!!!!! Im just using AD700s, RX900s and HD555s so I may not have the best cans to utilize with the little beast but they sound amazing with this amp!!!!

Quote:   I guess something else LOL

I did the mod last night and it seemed better but the sound seem to leak more. Before you couldnt hear anything if someone was wearing them but now you can hear everything very well????

I just recently got the Astro Gaming Scout pack to use as a laptop bag and Im loving it. Numerous pockets and fits my 15in work laptop and all my work stuff easily. Plenty of padding and pockets. I would definitely recommend it!

I have them both and they are both equally great. The soundstage on both are great and the foam mod on the 555s open them up even more. The fit is a little weird on the AD700s so just be aware of that.   What type of gaming will you be doing? PC, console or both? How will you connect you...

I have both and I use them solely for gaming however occasionally Ill use them for late night movies. The AD700s are great, excellent soundstage and the positional cues are outstanding. I just recently acquired the 555s and so far they seem just as good. I havent had a chance to mod them yet to...

I actually just acquired a set of HD555 Im going to recable and mic mod for gaming and was wondering the same thing about the PCB and just wiring directly. Is it necessary to wire it just the same?

Very nice!

What is the design purpose of the two wires exposed on the SRH840s?

Not too bad of a price! If I didnt already have a pair I would jump all over this!

Price wise I would go with the RX900. I love these cans and have had no issues with sound leakage. I game with them almost everyday late at night and never had any complaints them leaking sound. Personally I think they are a bit huge so I wouldnt wear them out but I think they would definitely...

If you have a guitar center in your area you should be able to try them both. Personally Im a huge fan of most Audiotechnica cans so Im leaning more towards the M50 but from what Ive read the Shures are more of a complete headset. Depending on your budget you could probably get both at a...

Quote: No only with the mixamp because I dont really game on the PC. They may have been better but for my specific application they were a bit lack luster. 

I use the RX900s for gaming late at night and I usually have the volume up fairly loud and my girlfriend never complains about hearing it while shes sleeping. Part of the reason why I bought them in the first place is because she was complaining about the noise late at night when shes trying to...

Quote: Im glad you are liking the HPA2s. They just werent my cup of tea.   To the OP, Ive had the  X41s, PX21s, HPA2, Tritton AX720 and still own Astro A40, AD700s and RX900 and too be honest Im really really enjoying the RX900s. They are comfortable and the sound quality is amazing...

I would open up the other can and use a DMM to test which side is what. If the stock cable is still attached then I would test the channels by the position on the jack.

Modded RX900s FTW. I have a pair of modded AD700s and they are amazing but Ive been recently using my new RX900s and they are starting to take over. I havent modded them yet and they sound just as good and I anticipate them being a lot better when Im done. You can get them for under 60 and the...

Quote: Thats where I get my techflex from as well LOL. Good prices and fast shipping.   Quote:   Quote: O I C. Im doing a recable for a gaming headset so the left, right, mic and 3 grounds will terminate on a female trrs jack and I will have a removable cable with a...

Quote: So if you are using a mini-quad you leave all 4 wires in the cable even though you are only using 3?  

What size techflex are most of you guys using for recabling? Are you stripping the coating on the wires or leaving them on and sliding the techflex over it?

Ive been toying around with my recently acquired RX900s and I have to say they have a lot of potential. With a little modding and work I think they actually may outshine my AD700s. We shall see....

Good stuff. That should help in determining the rest.

Very very nice wood work and I really like the graining of the wood.

Does anyone know how many single strands of OFC or SPC it takes to make 22, 24,26 awg wire?   Are single strands generally the same size? I have access to some bulk wire and was wondering how many stands I would need to make those sizes. Is there some sort or tool or instrument I can use to...
