Thanks and cheers!

Apologies ahead of time for the following ignorant question but will the Schiit Hel preserve Binaural Audio (Steam Audio, if turned on) in games like EFT or will it revert to Stereo? I've moved away from my GSX1000 as it missed a lot of in-game cues in games like EFT and now run the "on board"...

Sorry to hear that as well.  I have one that I could make available when things turn up for you.  I should note, my check ins here have also become infrequent.  

MLE, any plans for a review of the Mixamp TR?  

Just as a heads up, I just posted my Astro Mixamp Pro and AD700s in the for sale forums (ebay # 151379469213).  

I’m considering a PS4 but I see people are having chat problems using the Mixamp with it. Has this been solved? If so can someone please post a link to a solution?

  I wasn’t complaining, I was asking for advice with a disappointing purchase.  And no I haven’t heard a Sennheiser product which is of course why I came to this guide.   I think everything said in each review is 100% correct.  Where I now differ is in the competitive rating of the PC360. 

Well after another hour of the Pepsi challenge the PC360s are going back.  I was really looking forward to a nice competitive headset.  @Stillheart Have you tried a modmic?  Its way better than any clip on mic I've had, as long as you’re ok gluing a magnet to your phones.    Thanks again...

Long time no post here.     About an hour ago I unpacked my new PC360s and I would describe them as disappointing.  I knew after reading this guide that I’d be taking a little bit of step back but I didn’t realize how much it would actually be.  There is much less “sparklyness” and soundstage...

For some reason I’m having a hard time visualizing this.  Are we talking the “chat” headset or a regular headset?  You cut the male connector and replaced it with two 3.5mm jacks (female)?  I think a schematic would help. 

Quote:   This got me interested but after a quick look through the X41's manual I have my doubts this is possible.  It's not like a Mixamp 5.8 at all. 

Have you guys seen this HD595/PC360/Mixamp/DSS comparison?    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIuX7hKfSsg   It’s not the most scientific but the results especially those on the DSS are interesting. 

In case anyone is interested another option for a 2.5mm/2.5mm puck besides the turtle beach unit(s)   http://www.ebay.com/itm/221208793209?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D221208793209%26_rdc%3D1#ht_280wt_1123   The only problem I see is the...

The stock Astro controller cable occasionally makes noise when I move it around (mixamp with xbox).  I bought a replacement Turtle Beach puck because I thought the extra stability would quiet it down but instead it sounds like a bowl of Rice Kipsies that won’t get soggy.  It’s really too bad...

Quote:   Just to clarify, you can chat with the DSS but just not mix the chat and game volume. 

The case is the same but the knobs don't have a bevel and the graphics for the volume are different.  Also, mine has a door on the toslink.  According to the guide on page 1 the 7.1 version doesn't have this.  Strangely, the first few pages of a google search on the model number are pretty...

I think I just realized my mistake.    Based on my reading here I went out and got a AD700 and Mixamp about 4 weeks ago.  I’m coming from stereo so I was expecting something great but instead it felt like it was missing.  On a whim I got a DSS on ebay and it ending up feeling better.  I was...

Correct me if I’m wrong but the DSS will only output in 7.1 if an analog input is used otherwise it will output in 5.1 (assuming the xbox is set to DD and an optical is used).  Is the MixAmp somehow superior since it ups a digital signal to 7.1?  I'm somewhat new so apologies ahead of time. 

Quote: Actually the box is different.  The picture on page 1 is of the the 720+ while the review appears to be of the AX 720.  You can tell the difference by the main volume knob.  One would assume if they took the time to change the case they probably did some work on the internals.   ...

Mad, you reference some low level noise in your review of the Tritton AX 720 dolby box.  Have you (or anyone else) had a chance to test out the box for the new 720+?    Can you (or anyone else) expand on your overall feel of the AX720 vs the mixamp?

@ruuku Thanks. Do I need a certain length for each?

How much for the mixamp?

First time poster here.   The mic on my almost 4 year old TB X1 finally died last week so I’m now in the market for a new headset.  I stumbled on this thread by accident and it looks like it’s going to save me from doing something really stupid with my money and improve my game.    As far as...
