Bump.

Budget - <$150 USD Source/Amp - Computer. No Amp/DAC. How the gear will be used - These will live at home. Will be used primarily for gaming so I would prefer a decent soundstage. Preferred tonal balance - Not a huge audiophile and these would primarily be used for gaming. With that said, love...

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement stock cable for the KZ ZS3? I just noticed that mine is starting to wear and I'm looking to replace it but would prefer not to pay the $10 for an "upgrade" cable if I can swing it.

This got buried so I'll try again. Hopefully nobody minds. Recently got a pair of ZS3's and really like them so far. One of the cables it came with was kinda ripped though so it doesn't stay in my ear nearly as well as the other (undamaged) cord. Figure I might as well get a cord replacement to...

Hi all, Recently got a pair of ZS3's and really like them so far. One of the cables it came with was kinda ripped though so it doesn't stay in my ear nearly as well as the other (undamaged) cord. Figure I might as well get a cord replacement to remedy this. Was going to get the standard silver...

Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate it. Going to go ahead and order me some EDR1's now. What's the best place to get them from? GearBest? I'm assuming shipping time is going to take a while, correct? While I'm going to go ahead and order the EDR1's, I did have a few quick questions. How do...

Realized right after I posted it that I should be more specific. I'm not enough of an audiophile to have a specific sound signature that I'm looking for. I currently own a set of Jaycar Pro Monitors (Brainwavz HM5 rebrands) and a pair of Tascam TH-02's; haven't owned/listened to anything else...

Interested in picking up a cheap pair of IEMs for portable use (and possibly running). Unfortunately don't have time to read through a 1000+ page thread so could anyone give me 1-3 that I should be looking into getting? Budget is <$15.

Will Brainwavz HM5 pads fit these? Vaguely remember reading somewhere that they will they're just a bit tricky to get on initially. Any word on how these compare to the Tascam TH-02's in terms of sound quality, comfort, etc.? They're my current budget cans that I use at work but I'm not a huge...

I did. No luck from either of them unfortunately.

Bump please! I'm desperate!

Hi all, Been looking high and low and have been unable to locate some replacement screws for the gimbals on my Jaycar Pro Monitors. They are the 3 screws that hold the plate over the gimbal. Replacing the stock gimbals with some 3d printed ones and stripped one of the screws and lost another...

Quote:   Laptop. Will be using this for music and video games.   Edit: How do you like the Pro 80's compared to the Brainwavz HM5? The Jaycar Pro Monitor is the other phone I'm thinking about getting.

Just ordered the Pro 80. Can anyone recommend a good DAC (and amp, if necessary) that pairs nicely with it? Budget is around $50-75. Possibly $100.

Anyone have a pair of the Takstar Hi2050's to compare these to? Whichever headphones I choose will be used primarily for gaming but will be used for music as well. I’m a serious gamer although not very competitive right now. I used to play Counter-Strike competitively but those days are long...

Hey guys,   I'm in the market for my first "real" pair of headphones and am thinking about picking these up (Incipio F38's). Whichever headphones I choose will be used primarily for gaming but will be used for music as well. I’m a serious gamer although not very competitive right now. I used...

I think I'm going to just use my old Sony wraparound IEM's for when I travel. Thanks for the information on the Takstar's. Do you know how the Hi2050 and Pro80 stack up against some of the other headphones that I'm looking at in terms of gaming?

Do these need an amp to run at their full potential? If they do, how do they run without an amp?

Hi,   I'm going to be purchasing my first "real" set of headphones and am thinking about picking up a pair of Takstar Hi2050/Technical Pro HPT-990's or Takstar Pro 80/Gemini HSR-1000's. They will be used primarily for gaming (90%) but very occasionally for movies and music (when I'm...

Bump.

Hi guys,   A few days ago, I was planning on buying Plantronics GameCom 780 to use while I play computer games. Well, I did a bit of searching and learned that if I really want to get the most bang for my buck, I should buy a clip on mic and get a real pair of 'phones. So here I am. I've...

How would a regular set of headphones without the 7.1 surround sound/Dolby Headphone perform in game? Is there a range of positional awareness on headphones without 7.1 surround? Or is positional awareness pretty universal across the board without 7.1? This is for computers too. I know this is a...
