I'm pretty sure my X3 broke the other night, it powers on fine if nothing is plugged into headphone out. Line out still functions normally but headphone out causes click and then an immediate shutdown. I'm hoping warranty will save me, it's only 6 months old.

  AFAIC, they knew about 3rd party updates and licensing fees. We have to understand the why that you've clearly explained, but the how is simple, tote support but only give a rudimentary/old driver.

  Thanks for the little bit of information :) I have been tempted to try the MMX 300 for quite some time but my next set will probably be the DT 770. Want some great sounding (slightly warm, anything else can be done in eq) bassy headphones.

  The ATH-ADG1 looks amazing. Have you had the chance to compare them to Senn PC 360s?

  Not yet haha!   It was a previous TV, I spent all the budget on computer and audio equipment (Klipsch ProMedia 2.1). I had the Sennheiser PC 360's. I will be looking into possibly the QNIX 27" soon!

  This was from a couple months ago when I put the computer together. I'll have to post a couple more pics once my CPU coolers comes in.   Rockin' the PC 360s! ALC1150 haha.   Forgot to post my specs: Intel i5-4670K (stock clock, for now...) MSI GTX 770 Gaming 2GB (stock clock) Samsung...

I bundled my Recon3D USB card (still use it) with the CMoyBB amp to drive my Sennheiser PC 360s. Other than the amplifier issue the Recon3D is awesome (haven't used anything else besides Razer Surround).

I am wearing the PC 360s right now. My setup includes HP Laptop to Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D USB to CMoyBB to my Sennheiser PC 360s. The Recon3Ds don't really push the PC 360s (including just from the laptop audio jack) as much as I had hoped so that is why I purchased the CMoyBB amplifier...

Anybody have the Brainwavz M2/ViSang R03 that they can compare to these? I am thinking about picking up a pair.

Yea main thing i thought was that i would be able to bypass the internal amp but it seems like i will be getting a walkman soon

Quote: Yea same way I am with my fiance. She is perfectly content with cheap ($5) knock offs (not to mention she doesn't take care of much) that it's not worth it to get her even a pair of Brainwavz M2 or something in that range.

Quote: I can agree with that but not fully, on my laptop I use archive quality FLAC and then convert everything to mobile quality AAC for use on my iPhone 5 because of small storage size issues (16GB), once I get a nice dedicated mobile music player I will use some form of lossless though.

Quote: Makes me want to get a different mobile music playing device. Apple is always so strict, which I do NOT like.

Quote: I understand that but ATM I own PC 360, brainwavz M2, and the cMoyBB. I just wanted to know if anyone had positive experiences with the M2s and an amp. I am currently in search of what I want out of my music headphones. I NEEDED an amp on my PC 360s for my laptop/iPhone because I...

Quote: Hmm so no way to actually bypass the amp like with the 30 pin connector? Wonder whats stopping someone from making one.

So does this mean to bypass the i5 amp I can use Lightning to 30-pin -> Fiio L9 LOD -> cMoyBB -> To headphones?

I thought the main difference was in the cutoffs of frequencies, for compressed (why it's called lossy I though)? Then the bitrate of different codecs, where VBR gives you better compression and higher bit rate when needed?

IMO I like the look of Beats Studio but not HDs. Then again I am biased againt on-ears, either IEM or Over-ear for me.

Quote: I agree! The Beats aren't terrible but they are terribly overprice.

I enjoy my cMoyBB for use with my Sennheiser PC 360s. I know I need some cans for music but at the moment I am using my gaming headset. Is there much of a use to amp cheaper IEMs? I purchased the Brainwavz M2, just waiting for them to come in.

I think it's fun to look around at what people are wearing. Most of the expensive ones I see though are the Beats HD

I'm pretty sure it's not amped (don't know for sure) but only attentuated (volume knob).

I know I am extremely late to the thread but I chose the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D USB over the Astro Mixamp and I am extremely happy with the virtual surround (THX TruStudio Pro), ever though it seems most people prefer the older retired CMSS-3D. I have to say that the Recon3D sound card...

Anybody know of a nice case I can purchase for my PC 360s. I want something with nice padding and tight so it doesn't allow it to bounce around.
