So i just got my FA-011's in today. They sound excellent! I'm hoping a little break in will fix this but they kinda press on my ears a little. The finish on the wood bits is darker than i'd have liked but other than that these things are pretty amazing. for open backed headphones, these things...

i was planning on mounting it on the chair back, but i see what you're saying.      :(

I think this is probably the best place for this question even though its computer centric. The application is primarily games and movies but since i'm using headphones....   i've got a set of FA-011's on order. i'm really looking foward to it, but one problem i have with headphone setups is...

my only problem with using electronic music is that you really have no idea what its *supposed* to sound like. With a Piano, cello, or horn you know with certainty, exactly what it should sound like. This makes setting a reference a lot easier. i love RJD2 but only after i get it dialed in.

Quote:     Thanks for the reply. i didnt notice it until after i added some other questions. Thanks for your suggestions. Do you have any input on the mixam vs Sound card thing or Dolby vs stereo?    

I suppose i should update this, as there are some factors that i need help with understanding. Currently h have Tritton AX720s and they're pretty decent, though there is definitely a lot of line noise on them. They come with a decent mixamp that is plugged into my motherboards optical out. This...

hey all,   as the title says i've been looking for a sub $200 pair of headphones for my gaming rig. 80% of what these things will deliver are voice, gunshots and special effects. I'm pretty sure i want opened back for better sound staging, but i'm having trouble finding good options to...
