Forgive my noobness, but I was wondering if someone could help me understand a little more about the G5. Assuming it is compatible with the XBONE, why would it be a better option than the mixamp? Wouldn't both of them be decoding Dolby anyway? Would the only advantage over the mixamp (for...

How was hard mode? I have about a million shards just sitting there but can't bring myself to upgrade my non raid gear. Still wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to a 29 yet or just keep running it on my 2 characters on normal in hopes I get more raid gear. Everyone keeps saying that as a 29...

I have beaten the raid a solid 5 times now and still haven't gotten the Epilogue. Fortunately I did get some raid arms on one of the runs. If I get chatter white one more freaking time though...

Awesome to hear. I was interested based on DTS alone but didn't realize it also does Bluetooth pairing, pretty cool. I am intrigued to see the price point as well. Enjoy PAX and let us know if you hear anything!

Has anyone seen anything on the Turtle Beach TAC recently? I can't seem to find many details on it other than it is supposed to release later this year and supports DTS. People keep saying it is going to be a mixamp killer but I am trying to understand why that is.

Take this for what it's worth considering I only have heard (and currently own) the q701s. Soundstage is going to be pretty good with all of those headphones. The Q's are very detailed and spacious, and if you want a more "immersive" experience and add a bit more bass you could always do one of...

I'm looking at the NFB-15. Any retailers in the US that sell them, or is it straight from Audio GD?

Let us know how they are. I snagged a pair off Tanga last month that were refurbished and I A.) had no quality issues and B.) really enjoy the sound, especially for under $40. Now I am able to justify spending more money on some soundmagic hp100/150s :)

What amp are you running with them?

On a random note, anyone else watch any of the gamescomm stuff? I completely forgot about quantum break and was pumped to see gameplay footage. I am a huge fan of remedy and the Max Payne franchise so this game gives me all the feelz. As a huge halo fanboy I was really pumped to see the...

So when I got my q701s a month or two ago I never did a back to back comparison with the AD700x that they replaced. The other day I decided to and was blown away at the differences. While the AD700x is still awesome for competitive FPS, I still couldn't believe how bass deficient they truly are...

Yesssss, I need someone else to give impressions of these.

I have a fiio e9 desktop amp that I use at home for my gaming setup, so a somewhat logical choice might be the e17 as a portable setup, but can be docked for home use. I am, however, curious as to the difference is SQ will make just using the amp for portable use and not having DAC functionality.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I will look into those daps as well as reading up on the lightning adapter. I randomly found this old iPod laying around my house (literally no idea where it came from). Turns out it is the 30 GB iPod video. I was planning on just using that but if a good...

I am starting to travel a bit more for work and am looking at getting a portable setup for airplanes and hotel room use. My DAP will either be a 30 GB iPod color or iPhone 5s and my headphones will be Logitech UE6000 or a future pair of IEMs. I have noticed that most portable DACs that can...

I own both the AD700x and Q701 so maybe I can speak to this. Evshrug and stillhart are both right, the differences between the two are moot. Both are in the upper echelon for competitive gaming. The only reason I "upgraded" from the AD700x was purely because I wanted to use the Q701s for music...

Jealous of all you PS4 owners right about now. The xbone will be my main, but I've always been a two system guy up until this generation. PSA: buy everything you want BEFORE you get married.

Wow, that is a great price! Where did you find it if you don't mind me asking?

Boom. Roasted.

It's almost like there needs to be a guide somewhere where there are reviews on headphones used for gaming...

Not to mention it's like 2.5x the price. You won't find the ad700x at best buy. The 558s will be difficult but it's possible.

I have been primarily an xbox gamer for the past 10 years but bought a ps3 specifically for LoU and it was well worth it. The more I play it the more I think it's overtaking shadow of the colossus as my all time favorite. Wish I had a ps4 to play it on!

Already done! Patiently waiting for feedback.

Probably the best season for gaming I've seen in a long time. MCC is releasing on November 11th of this year. And the halo 5 beta on December 27th. I have been a big halo fan since CE so I am very excited about this. Also pumped for sunset overdrive and evolve.

I'm doing the same thing. Just fired up the ps3 beta but will be primarily playing on xbone. I really hope this game is good from a competitive side. I need something to hold me over until MCC releases in November.
