Drivers are based on the AD900X but appear to be tuned for more bass (either that or they have achieved the same effect by other means). It's still not bass heavy by any means but just not as bass shy as the 900X. It's excellent but I wouldn't pay more than say 130 for it purely because it is...

Excellent news! Thanks for the update! Guess I better update it then.

Yep. Ironically it’s all documented on another thread on this very forum by the aggrieved brand rep. And let’s also not forget what he did to Jomo. . . Basically - “How dare you not respond immediately to my demands for a review sample! £#%* you, ...(insert bestial racial pejorative)...

BGGAR? . . . Seriously? That’s your benchmark critic? Lol, p-lease. What next? Crapgamer for gaming reviews? QuantumApotheosis for UHD TV tech?

I have both the X3 and G6. The X3 is better for the PC-only gamer but for gamers who use consoles supporting optical as well, if it was one unit or the other, then the G6 is better / more versatile because it has optical in and can therefor do proper Dolby 5.1 > VSS conversion for consoles. The...

The G6 Dolby setting / dial is just a dynamic range control (Auto-volume balancing) setting for Dolby content.

Steelseries just bought Nahimic https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/joao-silva/steelseries-has-acquired-a-volute-the-company-behind-nahimic-audio-software/

Not unless you have comfort issues.

Thank you. The Garage 1217s have also piqued my interest. Did you build the crack or buy it pre-built?

Thanks guys. Any tube recommendations in case I go for the Lyr? Also, Bob whose namesake went to the same secondary school as me, what Hybrid amps do you have and would they suit my needs at all?

Thanks for you input! I already have the Massdrop THX AAA but I can't use it for the HD800S without EQ, too fatiguing. I *love* the sound stage, layering separation and holography of the HD800S but without EQ it is just too much for me. Even love the bass impact too but without EQ, it's just a...

Noted. Thanks for your input! It will tame / smooth the HD800s treble too then? I don't want to have to rely on EQ (to make the HD800S's non-fatiguing) as I currently do now.

Thanks! Was already considering that one! Thanks! Also in consideration. . . But I have heard that at least with stock tubes, it's more "warm/smooth as far as Schiit goes", rather than warm/smooth in general. Are there any particular tubes you would recommend that would achieve my preferred...

Hi Dan, Like qsk78, I am also looking for a planar companion for my HD800S. Accordingly, I have already decided on the Aeon Open 2 and look forward to getting it. I am also looking to get a new amp. Are you aware of any amps or dac/amps at the 500 or under price point that will pair well with...

Given that they are already implementing that with music streaming on mobile similar to SXFI, can't see why they wouldn't adapt that for PS. I did like what he mentioned about fine tuning possibilities, using interactive test cues to dial down positional accuracy.

Did Hellblade not use it? Also, I would have thought it likely used at least in part for the 3D audio modes exclusive to the Platinum wireless headset seen in the highest profile first party titles like Uncharted 4, Horizon, Days Gone, God of War etc. I can't imagine they'd be using a wireless...

It depends. On newer TVs (past few years) most likely yes. On older TVs going back to around the 2010s, yes too. On not old but not new (early-mid 2010’s to mid-late 2010s, it depends. There was a chunk of several years where there were some licensing concerns / controversy which meant that some...

I don't know if this is the cause of your problem or not but SBX presets/profiles are composed of two sub-profiles, one for headphone out, the other for rear line-out. Changing anything in the SBX effects suite for one output's (sub-)profile, whether it be VSS, EQ, Bass boost etc., will not...

Isn’t EQ already off in that pic? The icon would be in green, otherwise, no? Dolby DRC is on though

I don't have Rainbow Six Siege but a cursory search on the net suggests that there are no audio channel config settings in-game which means it will look to the PS4 audio settings to decide output. If you set it to bitstream Dolby via optical then leaving SBX off will have the G6 downmix the 5.1...

I get this sometimes too. I have experienced these problems on Xbox One X and PC with Atmos for headphone and PS Pro just with SBX in general so I don't think it's confined to Atmos for headphone. Close down Sound Blaster Connect completely (remove from system tray). Disconnect G6, give it 10...

Check out the review page of the thread as MLE has reviewed most of those. For other users’ impressions, take the headphone model number and paste it into the search function. You can filter the search to this MLE gaming thread only. You should find that there has been extensive comment on...

Basically what MLE said. You can easily test it out though. My own experience of using the G6 as dac and pre-amp to a more powerful amplifier via 3.5mm rear lineout (G6 > Loxjie P20 / Massdrop THX 789 AAA): - Max volume G6, endpoint amp only as loud as necessary: difference was not huge but...

Ah, I see! That does rule out the sub but if AQ is not that much a concern then fair enough. 20 dollars for ok 2.0's sounds just right. Another cheap option, that was widely covered in the media at the beginning of the year around CES. Can't find much in the way of reviews though...

After seeing the price and the rave reviews, I bought a pair of Pebbles (2.0 sub-less version) for my elderly dad not too long ago on a whim. He wasn’t at all unhappy with the even cheaper, budget Logitech 2.0’s he was already using but I was curious as to the product and it was a nice...
