Thanks for the suggestion! I actually have some of those as well, but then the problem is that the driver itself is farther away from the eardrum.

Thank you for the helpful response! The fit problem is not so much about the tragus or antitragus (although it does cause some discomfort on my antitragus after a while). Instead, it actually has more to do with the bottom of the strain relief pushing into the side of my head (just below the...

@EtyDave If you wouldn't mind offering a quick update, I would love to know where the status of the ER4B is currently. I just received my ER4SR and I'm actually considering returning it for the ER4B instead. For two reasons, really: 1.) I am a professional gamer and I listen to binaural / HRTF...

PaganDL, this was just what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the helpful response. I had considered the 940's at one point, but I think that I've finally narrowed it down to the PM-3. In comparison to the M70x, I was worried that they would lack the imaging / detail that I need (due to...

Oh no, I genuinely don't have my mind set on anything, haha! I'm sorry if it came across that way. I think more than anything I'm just confused. I want detail retrieval, as well as a flat response, and I just don't know which headphone is offering both of those (MSR7, 7520, M70x, PM-3). The ER4...

Thank you for the helpful response! I would love to continue using my open headphones, but unfortunately my situation simply doesn't allow for it right now. As far as the M70x being "flat and boring"... isn't that kind of what I'm looking for? I really don't want the sound to be colored, as fine...

@twister6   Hey, twister! I was hoping I could ask for a direct comparison between the Oppo PM-3 and the M70x. I've searched the internet high and low and can find zero direct comparison between the two. As you've heard both, I was hoping you might be able to lend some advice to my...

Hey, guys! Just wondering if anyone here can offer a direct comparison between the PM-3 and M70x. I'll be using these for professional gaming, therefore require a closed headphone for noisy LAN tournaments (and a noisy NYC apartment) as well as neutrality (a common misconception is that...

Thank you for the nice response! I've experimented with a ton of different tips for my Etymotic IEM's. The problem was less to do with my tip selection, and more to do with my ear canals. It is very difficult for me to (comfortably) get the driver up to the second bend. Sure, I could go the...

I hope I'm allowed to post this here (sorry if not!). I am looking to trade my Astro MixAmp Pro TR (latest version - black - PS4, PC, Mac) for a Sound BlasterX G5, if anyone is interested. Listing in the classifieds for more details. Thanks!  

Would anyone here be able to offer a direct comparison between these three headphones: - Audio Technica ATH-M70X - Sony MDR-7520 - Oppo PM-3 I will be using them for professional gaming, actually. Now, before anyone questions my choice for a neutral closed back headphone for gaming - I can...

Hey Head-Fi, I'm a professional gamer that has recently transitioned from over-ear headphones to IEM's for my competitive use. As I've invested more and more years into professional play, I've learned that soundstage size is not necessarily as important as the actual imaging and positional...

Thanks for the suggestion! My only concern with a lot of the ATH IEM's is that they seem to be worn mostly over ear, when instead I need something that is worn cable down. Do you feel the positional accuracy of the multi-driver BA (TWFK, etc.) IEM's are better than that of the Ety's? Just...

Hey, guys. Do any CK10 users have recommendations for current IEM's that can rival/surpass the CK10 in terms of imaging, instrument separation, etc? I am a professional gamer and am looking to switch away from full sized over ear headphones in favor of IEM's (the actual soundstage size isn't...

I do run awareness + dead silence, yeah! Using high boost and the EQ I posted most recently isn't giving me nearly as precise positioning, unfortunately. The footsteps seem so much more subtle without the bass portion of their sound. This is tricky!

I know that was the case with Black Ops 2, but I swear Black Ops 3 might be different, haha. Truthfully, I could be totally wrong here, but just going off of my experience, Supercrunch makes footsteps laughably louder. The other viable presets are called "Headphones" and "High Boost". There is a...

That was my first thought too, and while it does make some improvement, it's surprising how much of the Black Ops 3 footstep comes from the lower bass frequencies. It's like it has three parts: the main tap of the foot, the thumping bass portion of it, and a sleight echo afterwards. Dropping the...

Would anyone here be interested in making some MixAmp Pro TR equalizer presets? It's crazy how much a simple EQ can change aspects such as footsteps and gunshots in competitive FPS. To be honest, I'm really unfamiliar with equalizers, and while I can play around with the Astro Command Center a...

Thanks for all the feedback on my dilemma so far guys. Do any of you know if they've finally fixed/improved the mic quality on the MixAmp TR? It's always been such poor quality in the past. I'm wondering if the ModMic will sound better or worse when used through the MixAmp TR versus the X7...

So because of this whole G5 incident I've been forced to go back to double amping the MixAmp. Since I sold off my old MixAmp Pro, I'm left having to buy new gear. I settled on the MixAmp TR (primarily for custom EQ) and either the O2 or Magni 2 to go with it. But at that price point (around...

        Thank you for all the feedback, guys! I'll definitely look into the E12 a bit more. I am conflicted now, though... because Change says the MixAmp alone might be enough to power the K7XX and shuto says otherwise!

Well, I was looking to get just the G5 with my promo code and come in at the $100-$150 price range. Now that it's not what I expected I have to get a MixAmp instead, as well as the external amp. The priority is the MixAmp TR, so I'm literally trying to keep the amp as cheap as possible. I just...

I'm so disappointed that the G5 won't truly decode console surround. I'm not looking for an SBX processed stereo signal! So now I guess it's back to Astro. I've got the K7XX with a ModMic on it, and I'm assuming that the MixAmp TR alone won't be near enough to power that setup? So now I have to...

Gosh, I just keep waiting and waiting for the G5 (since the MixAmp is too weak to power my K7XX without extra amping) but I'm going to be so let down if I find out I can't even daisy chain the G5. I feel like I might just be wasting time...
