I just bought the A500's. As far as comfort goes, I would be hard pressed to find anything more comfortable than the A500's. These are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. EVER. Great for gaming, great for music (at least for me). Great value I say.

It's amazing to me how these headphones sound better the longer I use it.

Firstly, let me start off by saying that my decision to buy A500's have been almost a year in the making. I first came here about a year ago inquiring about gaming headphones and learned a lot. And today, here I am with my A500's. Big kudos out to AudioCubes. I wasn't too sure what to expect...

Yeah, I've been leaning towards the A500 simply because I have heard so many people say that to someone first getting into some good headphones or people with untrained ears probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the A500 and the A900.

Well, my birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about treating myself to some REAL headphones. This would be my first foray into the high quality sound world (should I choose to buy one of these headphones). I came here just around the same time last year to see what was good for gaming and...

Sounds like they aren't worth it, eh? Well, I can't really go with any thing else than something that can give me Dolby Headphone, other than just plain stereo. Is there any other similar device that can do what the T510 claims it does?

http://gear.ign.com/articles/583/583114p1.html I'm really interested in this item because I would LOVE to have some surround sound on my systems, except I can't afford to have a real surround sound setup (noise is the main issue). Does this thing actually reporduce the sound well? I don't...

Thanks guys, I'll look into bluetin.com.

I am almost sure I will buy Audio Technica A900's at this point in time. I would have bought them already but the problem is finding a place to buy them! There are a few problems: Firstly, is just the lack of retailers. I have only found 2 retailers of which sell the A900's, one for $199.00...

Ok, I think I have decided on buying some Audio Technica A900's. Now some place to buy them. So far the only place I've seen is www.audiocubes.com. Are there any other places than that? Also, do you guys have any recommendations on a good tabletop microphone? I have one of those Plantronics...

Just so you guys know, I have myself an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum.

Ok, so far: Audio Technica A500 Audio Technica A900 (Good positioning) Sony CD-3000 (Better positioning than A900?) Any prices on the CD-3000 and A500? I am already in the process of looking for the prices but it would be nice if I could have them all here.

Well I started off a looooong time ago with a little game I like to call Rainbow Six. That moved on to Rogue Spear. More recently I had been playing lots of Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield but I came to my senses and realized how CRAPPY the game was and how many cheaters there were and stopped...

I'm looking for good headphones for gaming. I am an extremely avid PC gamer and first person shooters are the name of the game. I had been reading around here and so far it seems like the Audio Technica A900's are pretty good. I am looking for headphones that allow for EXTREMELY GOOD...
