as a pc gamer 90% of the time (i have to play fighting games on consoles), i've been waiting for this thread  

Quote: waiting for this before i order anything else :)

Quote: thanks for everyone's replies.  i've tried a friend's DT990 600ohms before and the treble was a bit much for me.  the bass was great though.   as it turns out, i've sold a couple things of mine earlier today and i'm considering purchasing something from audeze :)  now i'm off...

I'm pretty much looking for something more immersive than anything. Seeing your post about getting the K701 to produce a fuller sound akin to maybe the DT990 or D7000 was very interesting to me. I've recently upgraded to a D7000 and have been seeing if there was something like it with that...

Quote: wait...you're saying with the Lyr your k702 produced bass?  as in actual thumping bass?  i'm asking seriously as i've never tried or even considered to try the k701 mainly because i read all over head-fi that they pretty much sound like empty tin cans when trying to reproduce...

Quote: what ticks me off the most about this guy is that i constantly see him giving *cough* advice *cough* to people on audio related articles.  just seems like a google jockey to me. 

so Engadget decided to feature the E17.  i scroll down to read some comments and i find this gem:     Quote:   Quote:     Quote:   :facepalm:  

man, all this D7000 talk has me itching.  been wanting to buy something with that home theater feel to it.  

has anyone ever suggested that mad lust put approximate prices on the headphones he's reviewed and suggested?  i know it would help me a bit :)

i still don't know why they won't release a PS3 version of FF7.  that game will probably make billions in 1 weekend...lol.   anyways, has anyone tried the JVC-HA-RX700/900?  any predictions on how well they might work?  looking for a budget headphone for a friend.

Quote:   HD800s are mostly aluminum right?  anodizing would be perfect for them.  one can even put in fades, splash and acid wash patterns in  i wonder how tight the tolerances are for the parts to fit in tho, because ano would add a teeny bit of thickness once applied.  i'd personally...

  Quote:   sounds like you don't either.   oh yes, i went there.    it entertains me to no end how much the mention of beats on these forums quickly turns into flame thrower fodder.

Quote: not a big fan of the new klipsch 2.1 system.  it sounds too close to the z2300 soi don't believe it deserves to cost almost 3x as much.

creative is having a pretty decent valentine's day sale right now too.  i'm tempted to buy one of those external cards like the  X-Fi HD or X-Fi surround 5.1 pro. 

Quote: how are you guys getting these prices?

Quote: every so often logitech has "dented box" sales on their website.  knocks 40-60% off the retail price.  got my z-2300s for less than $85 shipped.  the box wasn't even dented when it came...lol.

yeah i subscribed to this thread too.  1st post had some pretty good insight for those who think "no way in hell you're gonna get me into this $200 headphone rig thing."  lots of thread crapping going on when your opinion is the minority around here it seems.

my current favorite song.  the video probably helps too   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCGMQC2wWn4

  Quote:       COD: BO has terrible audio and its ancient looking.  only good thing about that game is how they tweaked the killstreaks a 'lil.  i wish they would have stuck with the MW2 engine.  at least the audio on that had some sort of directional queues and was graphically...

now that you have the mixamp in the discussion, you should probably read up or ask in this thread right here...   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/534479/mad-lust-envy-aka-shin-cz-s-guide-to-headphone-gaming-particularly-with-dolby-headphone

lol post #19 is his 1st post too.  epic :P

lol post #8 was from '09.  search fail?  :P

sorry if this was asked before.   Mad Lust, do you have your mixamp connected to your e7/e9 or you use them separately?

all i know is this thread just adds to my overall confusion on deciding what to buy for gaming/movies...thanks.   lol

  Quote: noobies love him cuz he saves them money.  pisses off the extreme hobbyists and "advanced" shooters cuz he basically calls them stupid for spending money on "unnecessary" gear. :P   i like going to his website for technical specs since i shoot digital nikon currently :)
