Thanks for the suggestion! Reason why I wanted to Check out xonars was because I liked using dolby vss when I still had my logitech g930. Such crappy headset made awesome just by adding surround sound. I don't necessarily want surround sound for fps games and such since I don't really play fps...

Ok guys before I get flamed , I am not a audio expert. I've only owned 3 mid fi headphones , fidelio x1 , hd598's and the m50's.Ive only used mysb omni as my dac . I was planning to get te xonar dx for my pc . Out of curiosity I tried out my onboard audio, asrock h97m pro4 (I believe is an alc...

For the sb omni owners, I have a question : Is there a way to just turn omni into an amp and amp up the volume for my mobo's realtek driver (alc892)? I just wanted to test my motherboards realtek driver software's features and such but the volume is kinda low if I just plug in my headphones...

It's about a 100-ish $ difference between the 2 so you might want to do that

Well it IS in the lead on your poll so.. that might be what what you are looking for. It also has the most bass in your list, which is very nice on your music genre preference.you might want to change the stock cable if you are going for the x1's though, some people don't like the warm sound...

The sound stage for the x1 is very wide though. Not as wide compared to the others mentioned but it is definitely enough for fps gaming . IMO the sound stage difference is negligible for gaming purposes

thank you for the advice sir! I've only been using the omni with my fidelio x1 most of the time, and my beats pro once in a while

All of the headphones you mentioned would do you well for gaming but imo The x1's should be what you need considering the genre you like to listen to

Ok thanks for the info! Yeah I read the previous threadi just wanted more info about it . I use a fidelio x1 most of the Time. I do use a beats pro once in a while if I needed no outside noises to be heard.

Hi guys! I have a question, How does the xonar u7 compare with the sb omni? I currently have the omni but I have been interested in the u7 for a while now and I just wanted to do more research before buying one. Thanks!

I have tried the Razer surround sound and it is very similar to the omni's headphones mode. The 5.1 surround sound on omni kind of sucked on headphones since I couldn't hear parts on my screen. I did own dolby gaming headphones before, (logitech g930, turtlebeach dx11, etc) and I did like the...

Oh and I use a fidelio x1 if that matters.

Hi guys! I have a question, How does the xonar u7 compare with the sb omni? I currently have the omni but I have been interested in the u7 for a while now and I just wanted to do more research before buying one. Thanks!

So how does the u7 compare with the sound blaster omni? I have the omni atm but I am interested in the u7 for a while now and I wanted to do abit more research before buying one.

Vmoda on x1 tighter bass, better clarity compared to x1cable. X1 cable on x1 has a warm feel, slightly bigger sound stage imo. Beats cable on x1 gives off punchier bass (just right for me), clarity is somewhat between x1 cable's and vmoda's. Beats cable on beats pros has a strong bass, deep...

I own a fidelio x1 and a beats pro and I was experimenting with cables yesterday for my beats pro since I was thinking "hmm.. cables does help in clarity for my x1.. why not switch the cables on 'em ehh?" . So I tried x1's cable on the beats and blew my mind. Everything became sooooo clear (I...

Sorry about that! I'm new to this and do not know how to properly describe the sound I want buy Yeah what I meant was a tiighter and more clear bass as I love to listen to bassy music and for games. (I could care less about positioning in games as I don't play fps, )

Improve the bass,

Ok v moda cable it is! Thanks! To be more specific, I am looking for something thatwould

Hey all! I am fairly new to head fi and I was wondering which amps would be good for my fidelio x1. I like to use it for gaming and listen to hiphop,edm music. Currently i only have the creative sound blaster omni. Budget would be around 100 $ more or less. I've looked at the fiio products also...

Thanks for the very informative post.! I just ordered the omni today. Hopefully it'll satisfy me. I've only used a g930 And my x1 with onboard sound card so far (alc892) for gaming, I do own beats pro which I use out door And gaming sometimes though, but feels kind of muddy .

I know the price range could be very restrictive =\. And only reason I was thinking of sound card is because I love the surround sound feel on my headphones. thanks for your answer!
