99 Classics vs T5 --- no comparison really ... the meze has SEVERELY bloated bass to the point of distortion. SR2 vs T5 --- SR2 is the more neutral one of the two, has more accentuated mids as well. It is also the more comfortable one of the two. T5 with yaxi pads is on par with comfort...

Yaxi th900 pads, they fit sort of loose but comfort is plenty better. If you go with the alcantara version - you get better mids as well and less bloat.

Default earpads are trash and make them sound ... meh.

It is indeed

I just changed the pads. The yaxi are FAR more comfortable, they are slightly bigger by a 2-3 millimeters so a bit fidgety to get on. And the sound is not that bloated. I have both suade and leather Yaxi pads - suade/alcantara pads make the t5 sound less thick. But I prefer the leather yaxi...

Anyone that owns the T5 3rd gen should try them on with Yaxi TH 900 pads

Is the USB input galvanically isolated ?

With Xbox Scorpio now announced (Xbox One X)... there is still no competition if you have a PC available that can play the announced games. PS4 if you want consoles, stick with PC-MASTER-RACE for the rest :)

PS4 has more exclusives so i'd go with that. With Windows Anywhere (or was it Xbox Anywhere) you can play Xbox games on your PC... so there's pretty much no contest

1more e1008 - these sound incredible for some reason

Logitech G900 hands down best mouse i've had since the G9 ....

PC mainly + PS4 exclusives ... damn those Japanese ...Y U NO RELEASE TO PC !

Nope, just sits there staring and mocking me... gotta RMA it, already spoke to ASUS support.

Well, mine just crapped out after ~8 months of use ... it can only be detected as Unknown USB device on any computer i've tried and they were even preventing the pc from restarting (fun eh?).   Back to stock windows audio until i get something else ... bleh.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts - i was wondering if the sound is as good or better than the rivalry creative headset (if you had a chance to listen to them both ofc).   Sound flat or additional bass involved ? Are the controls viable ? Is call quality good and do they cancel...

From the lot you mentioned, i wouldn't think for a second and grab either the X1 or the Sennheiser's 598

Yup, better return it

Haven't heard the UE 9000, but hear good things about them. I don't think Logitech makes them anymore and the battery life looks horrible.   I was looking at the Plantronics cause they also make very good noise canceling mics on their other products - so should be pretty good with calls even...

You say     But you don't specify a budget ? So what kind of cash are you willing to spend ? 

That thing looks quite nice ... I think i'm going to pick one up when they release in Europe :)

Are there any proper alternatives to this DAC/AMP ? ... I need something external for me puter that has headphone out + mic in ... using an mITX board and have absolutely no room for anything sound wise there...

That can only be Australia/New Zealand or the surrounding islands. Get some tan while ur at it :)

I'm looking for a portable wireless Over-ear solution with which i can take calls and listen to some nice tunes.    I've been looking at these two:    The Creative Aurvana Platinum: http://asia.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-aurvana-platinum     Plantronics Backbeat Pro...

Hi Head-Fi,    Been sitting here all this time (few years now) and have not yet introduced myself.   Like many of you i like crisp sound, nice looking cans and also enjoy playing games with my favourite pair.   Love what you've done with the place :)   Yours, Iskren
