I would say that get the ad700 and put the rest of the money on a good sound card or some gaming peripherals

That is the US release date, in europe it is Aug-30 :/

Oh, they actually look exactly the same, only thing different which I notice are the frequency response number which are 20 - 20,000 Hz for the carcharias while 15 - 21,000 Hz in these. Still good that they are decent since I'm gonna use them mostly for music ^^

Yeah I'm sure gonna do that. I do like that they have divided the cable in 2. One for when ur listening to ur mp3-player(1.2m) and a 2m extension cable to hookup to ur computer so u can just plug-in to get the extra length. I also like the braided cable since its probably gonna last longer.

I was lucky enough to win a pair of Razer Orca headphones in their competition that is going on right now on facebook. Now I don't expect much from these headphones since razer made them and since their specialty is gaming mice and not audio. Anyone here that has tried razer headphones/headsets...

Yeah I did some research and seems like the x-fi surround 5.1 lacks some stuff when it comes to settings compared to the desktop cards.

Ok, now it's time for some stupid questions, but a man once said to me: the one who is stupid is the one who doesn't ask the questions... 1. How do you adjust the bass and the treble because I can't find the settings, only the bass boost... 2. SVM?

Thx for all responses, I should be getting the AD700 tomorrow if I have the time to go and pick them up from the post office. I'm could write a short impressions of the AD700's but I've heard that you should burn the headphones in and I haven't yet completely understood how to do that. Another...

Hello! I'm new to hi-fi and I just dipped my toe in by getting a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD700 as I heard they were good for gaming. I did this after my 5.1 headset was lost and I read a few articles that said that 5.1 is pretty much useless and that you are better off using good stereo...
