Thanks fuzzy. I'll add them to my list to research. I love a bit of Bose tbh.

Matt. Interesting recommendation! How much are they? Does anyone know if they deliver to Ireland? Isolation and comfort are very important. But sound is obviously a biggy too. So is there any other recommendations out there?

Ha HA thanks!   I look forward to the opinions!

Hey Guys.   A friend of mine is looking for a set of headphones. He has no hard budget ... within reason.   He will be spending 10 hours a day with them on his head listening to music. (Spotify Mainly). He is a fan of Noise Cancelling and doesn`t want sound leakage.   Due to the...

Well as I said before it has 3 audio jacks on the back of the decoder box which refer to 5.1 surround sound. I assume this would work with surround head phones?

Quote: Very interesting stuff. 

Quote:   Dang! Are you sure?   I`m sure this sounds super stupid but what do you mean its signal output is 7 channels? The box itself has the standard ports on the front for connecting the AX-Pro headset and three alternative jacks at the back of the box for 5.1 analogue output...

What about Mickey Mouse and Donald Ducks world of illusion?!   What a game!  

Evshrug   Thank you very much for the detailed response! It helps a lot.   Everything certainly seems a lot clearer and my interest is certainly peaked!   Thanks for the description of Open versus closed. Pretty simple and obvious really.   Im going to look into all the mixamp...

Quote:     Thanks a million. I see what you mean and don`t worry I didn`t take any offence to being told to go back and read. I will go back and take a more careful read because I don`t remember any theory in there!! Clearly I glossed over it! I did my undergrad in electronic...

:-( Thanks. I am glad I made a good choice!! Am I right in thinking you are recommending a midi keyboard to drive the headset? What do you mean by the last sentence? "or use your Onkyo as an amp for something a little harder to drive." It probably is self explanatory to you but I am not...

HAHA... Thanks for the sage advice. I myself have been console gaming only since NES and have most good consoles made since then... But that aside this is not really the advice I was looking for. My wife and I are on firm ground and my gaming is not a problem. Thankfully!!   The real problem...

Hey   I have been thinking of getting a set of AD700 headphones due to the rave reviews they have been getting here and elsewhere for some time now. I need them for gaming. 100% gaming.   I play FPS games on PS3 and do not have an Astro mixamp. I do however run my PS3 through HDMI to my...

Hey   Ive posted this elsewhere already but feel it may have been the wrong area since I got no answers at all! Not even answers telling me what a stupid question it is and how its been asked 75,000 times before. Which you expect at least a few of!   I have been thinking of getting a set...

Ha.thanks..... So no-one has a clue on this?
