Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on these but can't between decide between the white and black one. Can any long time owners of the white version comment on how easy or hard for it is for them to get dirty? I'm concerned about long time dirt smudging or smearing that may be hard to...

Thanks. I read that but I didn't want to do anything drastic such as cutting since the X1 is such a beautiful headphone, and my X1 is also just a week old so I would like to keep the warranty. We have horrible return policies here and I can't return the headphones just because they don't fit...

Does anybody know how I go about loosening the tension of the elastic inside the headband? I wear them and start with my ears in the center of the earcups, but after a few minutes, the earcups get pulled up with the bottom of the earpads latching onto my earlobes. I pull them down, then they...

Hey folks, how's it going?   Does anyone know if an Asus Xonar DGX would be able to drive these headphones properly?   Thanks!

Hello, I just got these headphones yesterday and totally love them. I love how they sound and find the comfort to be top notch. I have only used Sennheisers so I'm still trying to adjust to how bright these are.   However, my right earcup is doing some creaking which is very annoying. The...

I cut up some mousepads to make the earpads deeper. Ears barely touch the drivers now.  

I think something semi-open from Superlux would suit you. They sound great and have good soundstage. Not to mention dirt cheap, around $40 where I'm from. The money you save can go towards a new video card and maybe an amp. I have CAL!s for music and switch over to my Superlux HD681B when...

How the quality of velvet earpads that come with the new EVOs?

The Superlux HD681 EVO has some nice mid-bass and slightly rolled-off highs.   It also costs <$50.

I just got these yesterday to replace my PX100-II because of comfort issues. I have always avoided on-ear types because they always hurt my ears, but the PortaPros are an exception! Zero discomfort at all.   Does anybody have an idea of a mod I can do to the headband to keep it from...

Leakage is pretty bad. At a high but still comfortable listening volume, I can hear them from 5 feet away in a quiet room. For public transport like the bus or train, I don't think the leakage would be a problem since there will be a lot of people talking around you and motor noise, but wouldn't...

Totally agree with GREQ's comment on Razer's audio quality. My brother stopped using his Electra and Carcharias when I gave him my Superlux HD681B. So, yeah, I'd get the HD419.   If you are just going to use them at home, maybe something semi-open from Superlux would interest you? They...

I got mine last week for 1,790 Pesos, which is around $45.   Unfortunately, I put it back in its box after listening to it for an hour because I found the mid-bass a bit too muddy.   Comfort-wise the clamp was a bit on the strong side for me. And as Skar mentioned, the headband doesn't...

The audio headers are the cables that are connected to the front of your PC that you connect to your motherboard. Most PC cases usually have 2 connecters - one is AC97 and the other is HD Audio.  

Quote: The G35 has a low end DAC built-in which is probably why you don't hear much of a difference between it and your AD700 + Realtek. Connect your case's HD Audio headers to the DGX because they have the auto-detect, meaning your sound card will switch to headphone out instead of...

Quote:   I was able to install and set it up without having any Razer gear connected.

DAC =  digital to analog converter, you could also call it a sound card in PC terms. Dedicated audio card also fits, lol.   The Xonar DG comes with an entry level amp and Dolby Headphone which is why it is very popular with headphone gamers.  ...

I'd get the Xonar DG. You get a DAC and amp for $20. You also get Dolby Headphone for your games and movies. Your logitech G35 also uses Dolby Headphone for its virtual surround.

I currently use a rebranded version of this for my HD518:   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128010   Sounds great without an amp, and already really loud at 30% volume.   I also used to use the Realtek ALC888 and ALC892 for PC speakers, but the HD428 I bought...

Are the earcups/pads of the EVO deeper than the original 681's? I'm planning to get this tomorrow and will probably sell my other cans if I like it!

Something from Superlux maybe? I know majority of their cans have long cords, some are detachable even. They are also in your price range.   What type of music do you listen to?  

I have my HD439 at stock too. I just got an HD518 not too long ago and I still find myself reaching for my 439 from time to time.  

I'd get the HD439 out of those 4 you listed. Great mids and highs, tight, punchy bass that only comes out when it needs to. It seems to have the best balance out of the HD4x9 series.   I believe the Vengeance 2000 is just a wireless version of the 1500, and the 1500 is just a USB version of...

AFAIK, the HD668B has the same cup design as the HD681 so you can expect the measurements to be the same. As for the HD661, I don't recall how large cups were vertically but I did notice that they were a bit more shallow than the HD681 and HD668B.   Have you checked the AD700 thread? I'm...
