Hi, Does anyone know if there's a mic that I can use for gaming, which filters noise from my mechanical keyboard and my open headphones ? I'm currently using some cheapo desktop mic from ebay, but in order for it to capture my voice, I need to boost it, and then it picks up everything, which...

I see...no big difference. I thought I should worry :)

Haven't been following the forums lately, but I've noticed they released Magni 2. I have Magni "1", is there some crucial difference ?   Thanks

Yeah, bass goes really deep, they're perfect for epic music. EDIT: Great track 

Lately I was listening to some epic music, such as Hans Zimmer, Zack Hemsey, Two Steps From Hell and Audiomachine. If you can, listen to some of those tracks (in FLAC) with X1. They redefine the meaning of EPIC.

It's in my own opinion, based upon my own experience with integrated sound card vs. Schiit Modi+Magni ($200 altogether), so i advise you try connecting them somewhere else first, buy last.

Try connecting them to a dedicated amp/dac next time, it's a different story...

Someone from here posted this ?    http://i.imgur.com/q2Xvyaz.jpg

2 pages of his complaining and he still didn't mention his driving hardware...  What is your DAC ? I was listening to my X1 connected to my onboard soundcard and thought it sounded good...until my Schiit Modi & Magni arrived... just then I realized how many details I was missing. Forget cheap...

  Headphones are just half of the story, other half is amp/dac...

Try stretching them like this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5GxWTzK0CA

  I've been playing BF4 for the last 1 hour and so far no problems.   I switched from Etron USB 3.0 port to Intel USB 2.0 port. Probably the culprit was ****ty Etron controller. I also tried USBlyzer and it didn't show any errors.

Just tried with another, thicker (and by the looks, higher quality) USB cable. This time, interruptions occurred only 3-4 times, but they're still present nevertheless.

 "Ultimate" cannot be an issue, it's the same platform, just with some features unlocked  Regarding drivers, I don't know if they may cause problems, but I have 2 drivers installed currently, Modi's and my old Realtek's, which I use to listen to my mini-Hifi connected to my computer's...

  I highly doubt it's the system's fault. I never had sound problems before, even while benchmarking the system (extremely CPU and RAM hungry app - IntelBurnTest). I'll try tonight to switch the cable.   CPU: Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4 / EK Waterblocks mod MBO: ASRock P67 Extreme6...

Will try some of that, starting with cable, thanks. The computer is powerful enough and I'm running Win7 64bit. DCP latency 60 µs average, 71 max. I don't think there are better drivers for Modi than ones supplied with Win ?

I don't know, but the problem is globally, sound generally disappears, BF4, Teamspeak, Skype, Foobar, whatever...

I'm having a sound problem since I got Schiit Magni&Modi (a week ago). Every now and then, the sound disappears for few seconds, usually when loading some apps (like Chrome, etc.). It is most prominent while playing Battlefield 4, during one game it disappears at least 5-6 times randomly...

You sure that pads would change the sound signature ?

I'm sure someone will try to disassemble and repair them sooner or later, then share the mod with us...

Good it worked for you after all the fuss. Maybe you should also try this: http://www.head-fi.org/t/413900/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial And try them with various amp/dacs, some promote darkness, some brightness.

Not sure if he's trolling or just got a bad unit. Listening my X1 with Modi+Magni right now, various tracks, detail is awesome, to an extent that now I hear all the irregularities/badly compressed songs. Nowhere near "muddy non existant mids and treble"...

  Dude, I really thought someone was knocking on my door in the Binaural test. Scary how good these headphones are
