Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Hi all Trying to set up an old Astro Mixamp 2011 with an Xbox One and an AKG Q701.

I have an AKG Q701 and planning to get an amp to go with a mixamp for console gaming. Budget is $150 between a magni, vali or o2 which would go better. It would be my first amp and mostly used for gaming.- executioner

Currently I...- executioner

Hey guys what is the cheapest usb adapter to get a mic working on the ps3? For the xbox 360 only need a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter right? How do you mute when using a clip on mic like the dx one?- executioner
