Quote: The momentum has an 18 ohm impedance that is supposed to get it to decent listening levels without much power (i.e. with any other phone out there or Portable gaming console). I also wanted something that sounded well enough with most songs (not just artificial bass that serves for...

I also want a new computer for gaming and other media heavy tasks. Before I wanted a laptop for portability but taking into account that my current laptop doesn't move anyway I don't see the point. Might as well just get a more powerful desktop for less.   Anyway, in order not to derail this...

Quote: That is true, I forgot that the Wii U can only output sound from one source (thank you Nintendo). If I'm going to use a monitor, I'll have to use a splitter no matter what.

Hello all!   This isn't really an audio question but I'm wondering if anybody here (probably Nameless) can help me out.  The other day I bought a GDM-FW900. A few weeks ago I remember Nameless mentioning that there was no real benefit to buying the HDFury for console gaming since the PS3...

Quote: If you want I can sell you my mixamp 2013 for US $100+shipping. PM me for details. It's barely used and I haven't even registered the product yet. 

Well I finally got to try out the HD800 in the B&H superstore. Obviously I wasn't impressed but I was listening to electronic music unamped. I love how it sits on your head and the build quality seems amazing. I will definitely try these with proper equipment sometime in the future (2 years from...

For chat mix alone, there is also the steelseries mixer. It's $40 on their site.

I haven't really tested, I'm just going based off headphone capabilities. 

Apparently, the HD800 has better depth than the Annies (maybe depth as well). The only think lacking is in height, which is something the Annies also lack (I've noticed this personally). This just makes me want to audition them for gaming even more. I imagine they would be ideal for 7.1...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a portable headphone to use with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S I) as well as PS Vita.   I want to be able to reach decent listening levels without the need of a portable amp. My listening taste is all over the place, I can listen to Grandmaster Melle Mel and the...

guys, I think I've narrowed my search for a portable headphone.I'm down to either the v-moda 100 or the sennheiser momentum. For portability, the m100 wins, since it;s built like a tank. I wouldn't be afraid of throwing it in my bag on my way to school. It also has a two year limited guarantee...

That dongle looks promising actually. I may buy the Kross KSC75 yet...

Quote: I would imagine it would be the same if you had any other portable headphone... It's only logical, even more so if you spend more time outside than home.   What is up with your avatar though? Where is here left hand?...;)

That sounds cool, but I think I'll pass. I'd rather put those $20 towards something more worthwhile for me. The V-Moda m80 looks yummy, although I also need a headphone (or iem)/ with a mic to use with my phone (as well as Vita). I was looking into the seenheiser momentum. That and/or the...

Quote:   And really though, I think I've decided to buy a portable pair of headphones. I want a quality set, it doesn't really matter whether it is open or closed back.   Also, you made a triple post... :)

Quote: My apologies, I did mean the Pro900. I was actually thinking of something along the lines of the he-400 or maybe even a portable headphone recently. Hell, I might use the he-400 with my PS Vita when I go out.

Quote: Why would I do that?

Quote: Primarily, not exclusively.

I wonder what would be a good compliment to the annies for use outside of gaming.

Quote: Is there any significant difference between the platinum grade as opposed to the gold one?

Cool, I'm going to look into them. Thanks.

So I received my cable the other day, now all I have to do is mount it to the wall. Impulse, how did you mount yours again?

There is clamping on the mandible by the annies but it is not uncomfortable at all. High bone density FTW. Evs, think about the old "if a tree falls down and no one its around to hear it" riddle. It will make a sound... except no one will hear it if they are not within a certain distance. It's...

Evs,that is why I stated that it is probably not cost effective. It's the old law of diminishing returns. Most (if any) games won't benefit from a wider soundstage once you pass a certain point. Ditto for the audio fidelity.

I wonder, has anyone here tried the HD800? They must be awesome for gaming with that wide soundstage. It's probably not very cost effective though since it is well over 1K (even used) and it is very amp finicky.
