Quote: In that case, which headphones do you suggest?

Hi there! I'm looking forward to upgrading from a pair of DT990 Premium 250ohm, I'm looking for a headphone with good bass presence just like the DT990 but with much more impact and definition in the same price range, because the DT990's bass impact is kinda light to me (somebody previously used...

I love Beats! The design is stunning and the bass is just awesome!  

I see nothing wrong with Beats. They sound OK, and the design is hip. Lots of stuff cost tons of money just for the design. Calling them 'fake headphones' is a bit much. I think they are very stylish headphones for those who don't listen well.

Quote: I wholeheartedly agree. Americans are so brainwashed with commercials and such.  

  In the first post it is said that the Xonar STX supports GX 2.0, and ASUS states this on their website: Quote: However, with the latest driver, on Windows 7 x64, I got this:     Can somebody give some insight into this?  

How do I connect a microphone to the Xonar Essence STX? The input jack is huge whereas my microphone is 3.5mm. :(

Quote: I'm thinking of something in the range of $250 with S/PDIF in. With further research, however, I've just found the Asus Xonar Essence STX which is a DAC & 600ohm headphone package that has Dolby Headphones, of course, I except the result could not be as phenomenal as descrete DAC and...

Quote: In that case which DAC do you suggest? I've read that, different from DH, CMSS-3D can be transmitted through S/PDIF, and my sound card had S/PDIF out.

Quote: So it was my setup then. I'm thinking of getting the Little Dot Mk III as an amp, hooking it to the sound card through 3.5mm to RCA cables (to retain CMSS-3D or Dolby Headphones). Is it a good choice?

Quote: I tried both with positional 3D settings on and just plain normal stereo settings. Could be my setup though, because I don't have an amp yet. I plugged them directly to the sound card, and they are 600 ohm ones.

Where are the Red Hot Chilly Peppers and Flea?

Well, I exchanged my DT880s for a pair of DT990/600s yesterday evening and tried them with BF3. I got mixed feelings about them. One one hand, the explosions sound really, really impressive, on the other hand, that impressive bass is kinda overkill. In the first flying mission of the single...

Quote: Is XFi Titanium good enough? I play BF3 and I plug a pair of DT 880s directly to the sound card. _____________________________________   By the way, Mad Lust Envy, should I exchange my DT 880s for a pair or DT 990s to get better immersion in games. I play for fun for the...

Quote:   My friends are telling me that by doing this I am double-amping and thus audio quality would be sub-optimal. Do you think this setup still yields better quality than connecting the headphones directly to the soundcard?  

Quote: But your DT 990s are Premium right? I just raved about my new DT 880s at a local forum and someone with a pair of DT 990s (Pro) already want to exchange theirs for mine. I gotta consider though, because you said DT 990s (Premium, presumably) have such good bass. :D

Quote: Yeah, I bought the DT880s after reading your recommendations, Mad Lust. Thanks for that. I haven't not been able to test rear sound positioning because my Xonar DG hasn't arrived yet, currently I only have XFi virtual surround and it had never been impressive, I cannot tell the...

Quote: 250-ohm, I know the headphone amplifier on the Xonar DG is weak, that's why I'm planning to use the FiiO F11 in between for better sound. The setup is: Xonar DG soundcard --> Fiio F11 headphone amplifier --> DT 880s

Hi there, I'm planning to buy the KOSS KCS75s as headphones for working out at the gym after reading good reviews about them, but I don't like their bulky look. So that's why I'm looking for a pair of earphones or iems in the same price range that offer equivalent or better sound quality, any...

Hi guys, I just got a pair DT 880s yesterday evening, truly impressed. I am planning for this setup for gaming, any comments:   Xonar DG sound card (for Dolby Headphone) ---> FiiO E11 --> DT880s

So supposed all I have are MP3s then audiophile cans stills sound better than common cans, correct?

  My colleague told me that because audiophile headphones are capable of delivering very high and very low frequency, it is a must that you use them with lossless/FLAC audio. Listening through such headphones with mp3 as a source delivers a mediocre quality to common, cheap headphones.  ...

Quote: How do I do that?     Quote: I check the headphones, the seller was very honest, I couldn't find faults with headphones while listening normally, even at high volumes, so he loaded special tests to show the problem to me. It was minor, with very low bass at rather high...

Hi everyone,   Somebody is offering me a pair of DT 880s for $70, that's a steal right. But it does have a problem of having noises (crackles?) at very high volume, what do you make of its quality. Should I go for it? I don't usually listen at very loud levels though, my metalhead days are...

Guys, what about these? Someone told they are identical to DT770s, with a mic attached.   http://www.corporate.qpad.se/modules/news/article.php?storyid=218   Quote:
