Hi, I'm looking for a way to simultaneously connect four amplifiers (non-headphone amps) to a single audio source such as an iPhone. At first I thought using a 3.5mm splitter would accomplish this, however I'm concerned a passive splitter might degrade the sound quality going to each amp. So...

Hi, after years of using a pair of Sennheiser HD 202s which although sound really good for their price, I'm now looking to purchase my first pair of good headphones in the $100 to $200 price range.   I've heard good things about both the ATH M50s and the Beyerdymanic DT-770s and noticed...

Yes, when I change the volume in the Creative SB-Z driver, that volume change is reflected in the Windows volume slider and that change is also reflected in the SB-Z driver as I change the volume directly through Windows.   I didn't realize this was a common issue with the SB-Z but will look...

Hi, I recently bought the Sennheiser HD-598 and so far have been very impressed with these headphones. Along with that I also purchased a Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card and have the 598 plugged into its 600ohm headphone amp port which significantly improves the audio quality from on board...

Between what I've read here and elsewhere I went ahead and ordered the HD 598. I'm looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for your help. 

They will mostly be used with my Windows PC and Sound Blaster Z sound card which has a 600ohm headphone amp.

Hi, I'm looking to get a pair of headphones in the $150 - $200 range and have narrowed my options down to the Sennheiser HD 598 or one of the Beyerdynamic DT headphones.   I would mostly be using these for listening to music (classical and jazz primarily, so lots of bass isn't important) and...

I'll mostly be using these headphones with my Sound Blaster Z sound card through it's 600Ohm amplified headphone out 3.5mm connection.    As such I'm wondering if the DT line might be a better value. Both seem to have all the features I'm looking for. The HD 598 seems to offer a better sound...

After reading more comparisons I think it's worth the extra $50 to upgrade from the 558 to the 598, however one set of headphones I see commonly compared against the 598 is the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro. So far I've read mixed opinions on which is a better value. Currently the DT 990 Pro costs...

Quote:   Thanks for those suggestions everyone. The HD 558 seems like a good option for what I'm looking for in headphones, especially with that foam mod, which might not even be necessary.   I saw for about $50 extra, there's the similar HD 598 which from briefly reading comparisons...

Hi, I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones and would appreciate some recommendations on what pair you think would work best for how I'd use them.   These headphones would be used mostly for music and some gaming. My budget for new headphones is around $150. The types of music I'd mostly...

Hello,   I’m looking to upgrade the audio quality of my PC which I mostly use for music and gaming, and took the first step towards that by picking up a Sound Blaster Z sound card while it was on sale recently.   It’s hard to tell a difference in quality between the sound card and on-board...
