Why are they so inexpensive now? A couple years ago when I was going to sell my 650s they would have sold for $320 easily. Now the cans are going for that new! Did senn stop aggressively pricing them at $500? Is this temporary or permanent? Only reason I ask is because I was going to sell my...

I know this has been asked in this thread before but I like getting just one more answer to my question.  I already did a search, but I would like to ask anyway.  :)     I have a Xonar Essence STX card right now.  I use it for both my HD650s and my PC360s depending if I am gaming or listening...

Thank you!  I doubted anyone had tried the SS ones.  They are so much for such mediocrity.   :/   I will recommend him to try the Sennies then.  :)

A friend of mine is looking for a good wireless headset to play games with.  I have been trying to talk him out of it since I really don't think there is anything worth buying in that department (unless you HAVE to have wireless).   I linked him these:   Steelseries H Wireless Razer...

I just noticed this today.  I do not know what is happening or why but whenever I plug my headphones into my amp now there is a very soft buzzing sound.  I can't hear it if I just play audio over it but it is still there and I notice it a lot when gaming.   I have recently bought all new parts...

Bump.  Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks!  I'll check out some reviews on it.    :)

Hello, it has been a while since I have posted here but I have read the forums quite a bit over the last few years.  I have been very busy lately though so I have not had time to read up on my computer/audiophile/accessories hobbies in quite some time so I need some advice please.   :)    ...

I decided on the 360 first gen.  I like them on an amp quite a lot and the mic is very good.  I prefer the open ears because I don't like closed personally.  That was a no brainer for me.  However I can say that they sound flat and veiled when I do not use an amp (plugged into the aux port on my...

I am going to be plugging into my Xonar STX. I also have a Schiit Asgard. The second revision of the first release. The one that fixed the headphone driver flexing issue, but not the Asgard II. :) I already have some Senn HD650s. I just cant bring myself to put an ugly mic anywhere on them...

I am in the market for a nice headset. Price is not an option between these. I want the best of the four. It looks to me that the 363 still isn't better than the 360 due to the 7.1 setup but it is a virtual 7.1 instead of actually having all those speakers crammed in the earcup. Does...

Quote: Ah!  That is much better now!  I could feel right when they were starting to give a little and that is when I stopped.  Now they fit like the 595's used to, just with smaller earpieces.     I have been comparing them to the 595's a lot today and I really like them.  The 595's...

Well I have my 650s and while they clamp my head a little hard.....I love them!  A week after they came I got the Schiit Asgard and I have to say that it really is a great combo.  The cans with the amp are fast and the bass feels very nice.  Compared to the STX amp the Asgard brings out the...

If you mean this song then I did not hear anything out of the ordinary.  Sorry, I guess I really don't know what clipping is or sounds like.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMs3c8b_tJU

Quote: Well I have probably heard it, I just have not known about it so I did not know what it was called.  The description did not help me much sadly.  :(   I guess I can just run W7 at 50% so I do not have to worry.  Is the quality difference really that big?  I can't imagine that it...

bump     Can anyone describe what analog clipping sounds like?  Without describing what it looks like on the sensor please.  I know the it is when the sine wave hits the top and flattens out, but what does that sound like so I can know whether or not I am clipping?

Quote: I just heard that leaving windows set to 100% yields the best quality.  I would be using the RCA out on the card so that I run through the DAC on the card and skip the amp so I can use my external amp instead.  If you do not think that it really gives better quality output then I...

Quote: Well according to Joe Bloggs there is not a good way to measure it in the OS with foobar.  So I am looking for a sound file that would be close to what analog clipping would sound like or a good description of what it sounds like so I can hear if it is happening for myself.  ...

Ah I see.  So should I just leave windows volume at 50% when I get my amp or should I try it out at 100% and see if there is clipping?   Do you have a "clipping" file of a song that I can listen to so I know what I should be listening for?

bump

bump for some more opinions

I have tried everything and I cannot get the VU meter to go past -10dB.   Right now I am using the Xonar Essence STX for a soundcard.  Does this mean that I cannot clip with this card?  For some reason the windows volume level does not affect the VU meter at all, the only thing that makes...

Quote: ok.    I will just stick with one pair until they wear out in the very distant future then.
