Cool, that is good to know! I might pick up a pair at a later time :) I will have to try and compare them first though!

How does the P9 isolate outside noise compared to the P7W? I might be wrong, but the P9 is semi-open in a way , no? The P7W does the job OK, not as good as mye EL-8 TI though, but that is expected.

I have only good things to write about Audeze support! Bought a pair of second hand EL-8 Titaniums, but they had the crackling issue in both cups. Audeze replaced them with a brand new model straight from the assembly line!

Well, they did launch the P7 Wireless just before major companies started to remove the audio jack from their flagship models ;) And the P7 Wireless just happened to be a damned good pair of portable headphones anyways ! I use it on a daily basis with my iPhone 7!

I think I am better off buying it for retail price in Norway anyways. Regarding import taxes and such, and not to menyikoner the 5 year warranty :) I am tracking prices in Norway just to be sure ;)

  Thanks! That sounds about as convenient as it gets with the plug & play BT-dongle :) I might consider shelling out some hard earned bucks towards Creative then!

Find the Door: You got my attention, how does that work in terms of balancing voice and game volume on the fly? This is where I love the Astro, its just so convenient and smooth!   Where does the bluetooth device come in in this equation? Are you pairing this with the PS4 as the audio input...

I did consoder the X7, but it does not support external Mic input on consoles, no? The pricetag did put me off somewhat, but when I found out about the mic situation it was was completely off the table. Too bad since it certainly looks like a fantastic device!

That is my impression, So I wont be holding my breath ;) 

Yup, something sure is amiss on the latest model of this amp.

I have the Mixamp Pro TR, and I've been reading on the Astro forums and there are alot of people complaining on the exact same thing as I've mentioned in this thread. The Mixamp is doing something to the signal regardless of Bitstream or Linear PCM. The difference is that I dont like it at all...

Oh man it's fantastic having the cans back! I've gotten fairly used to the weight of them too, so no problems there!

Finally..I made progress!   I switched from Dolby Bitstream to Linear PCM.. I could not believe my own ears when I quickly jumped back in-game battle. No muffled sounds, clarity and rawness from weapons and bullets everywhere. And the echo? Well the echo is now present where one would expect...

  I tried every audio setting both stereo and surround in the game and Dolby on the Amp activated...if Astro defines this as how games are supposed to sound, then the Dolby setting is just something I could never depend on. What you gain in somewhat lackluster surround you loose in depth...

Well this thread here describes exactly what is going on really: http://forums.astrogaming.com/index.php?threads/mixamp-pro-tr-dolby-sounds-terrible.197078/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LtNF1i2eSwg&feature=youtu.be Imagine 64 player Battlefield with that echo thrown in the mix. It is just...

Yethal: Yeah I remember that too, I will try later. I've been working all night long, so gotta have sone shut-eye. Been going strong for 24 hours now xD Thanks alot for the assist!

There are no such thing as a "Theater" mode. I just have to try them all i guess.. These are the settings If i remember correctly: Small Medium Large speakers Headphones Logitech Pro G War Tapes Stereo/Surround.

All settings on PS4 is correct. In-game settings are set to "Headphone" and "Surround" . And yes, the Dolby button is illuminated wich indicates ON yes? I hear alot of the same bad sounding image as with the VSS-mode on the Sonys, its a mess. I will try to mess around with the audio settings in...

So I finally got a pair of the newest edition of the A40 TR + Mixamp Pro TR for cheap, I actually only wanted the Mixamp but the asking price was pretty good anyways. I paired the Mixamp with a Fidelio X2, great headset for both gaming and music in my ears! They actually sounded pretty good via...

I have never actually tried that :P Maybe I will give it a go the next time!

That looked pretty nice! Do you mind taking some photos with the headset inside them?

And here is how they fit into an unmodified HIFIMan case, cups fully extended.

Finally!! The return of a brand new EL-8 TI, fresh outsidere the production line! Manufactured/inspected 1-20-2017, and I could not have asked for more! :D Oh, and the horrible crackling in the cups when slightly moving my head or opening my mouth? It's all gone! I am so happy now! And...

So it seems! I am tempted by the G5 indeed. Easy to set up and just plug & play. 

Oh, less wires is always convenient indeed :) HQ stereo always beats fake 2.0 surround in my ears, I think! So the Astro MixAmp is the only real alternative for convenient headphone/external mic hook-up to the PS4? If something ACTUALLY managed to produce great virtual 5.1 I want to try that. ...
