Hi guys, I need to buy a new pair of headphones and can't decide whether to go with IEM or Headphone. My requirements are an ultra neutral sound, with no sibilance or heavy bass. I want to hear the music as the producer intended and don't want and frequencies too forward of one another I...

Need: To find a balanced, monitoring headphone for gaming (csgo, bf3) and classical music (with some Pantera [groove metal] thrown in!). Imaging is key, especially depth, front to back. Also need a dac/amp (I have Creative BlasterX G6 but want to upgrade - perhaps Feliks tubes?). I want a sound...

I have a £1000 budget for a setup and need your expert help Overview and Stipulations: - I currently have Audio Technica ATH-A900 (very comfortable for my head and wonderful sound - clear mids) + Creative Sound BlasterX G6 - Need for absolute bleeding clarity, detail and accuracy for...

Hi all, I am a complete beginner when it comes to DAC/AMP but I have been bitten by a strong bug and I cannot shake my urge to build a one-off (End Game), strong, foundation to all future sound systems and to bring out the very best in each headphone/iem i have and will have in the future. My...

Hi all, I've been searching for answers but cannot find anything specific really to my question. I guess there aren't many people wanting IEMs for gaming etc? My initial thought was to replace my failing Audio Technica A900 (i love their signature) and go for an open back headphone with better...

Hi all, I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones to replace my failing (one side is intermittently not working) Audio Technica A900. I am quite happy with them, although I would prefer a larger sound stage for pinpointing enemy location in fps games such as Counter Strike (GO) and BF3...

Hi experts, I'll keep this brief. My needs are 'the best' great, accurate, open back, larger sound stage headpone to play two games: Counter Strike (CS GO) 95% of the time and Battlefied 3 5%. Budget for setup is around £250 (which needs to include a decent noicecancelling microphone and or...

hi all,   i currently own the Sony MDR-SA3000 headphones, which give nice spatial sound, but wanted to upgrade to something better   ive narrowed down my choices to the AKG 702 and Audio Technica AD700X   i understand these are probably the best for fps gaming give their wide sound stage...

hi all,   massive fps gamer here.   (counter strike, counter strike: go, battlefield 3 etc)   im looking to buy a DAC/AMP combo to complement some AKG K702 headphone i will hopefully purchase (ive heard these are the best for fps gaming - these or the Audio Technica AD700X?)   ive been...

hi guys,   just wondering if there was a way i could get an A3D 2.0 enabled card to work on windows 7 (64bit??)   i remember when i used to play cs on my Sound Blaster Live! card (A3D 1.0 support??), the game sounded far better for positioning enemies than a X-Meridian or Titanium HD card...

sorry for posting a thread about this, but i couldnt find the thread anywhere...   i saw it a few weeks ago and the poster was comparing some cheap over-ear panasonic dj headphones to sennheiser hd600 ( i think)     could someone point me in the right direction??      thank you!

hi guys, i have ordered the Titanium HD  soundcard, and was hoping to get the Fiio e9 amp to drive some Sony MDR-SA3000 headphones...   what is the best way to do this?   the soundcard has RCA out and, of course, headphone out.   should i use the L/R RCA output into line-in in the...

hi guys, i think ive narrowed down my choices in gaming headphones to these.   i was initially set on the AD700s but having read this post:   http://base.teamxbox.com/blog-post/43202/4403/01-20-2008/p1/   i have added the Sony's to the list. the reason being is that the poster gives...

hi guys, forgive my stupidity, but should i be listening to digital or analogue or dsp output from my soundcard through to my headphones?     this is currently how i listen to music... when i enable in 'dsp' mode headphones, with 7.1 virtual, the sound is much fuller, but seems to have...

hi all, i am buying headphones tomorrow, and really need help regarding which to buy...   my budget is no more than £150   my priority is gaming, i do listen to music, but 70-30 in favour of gaming, so sound stage is key   i have heard open cans are best for this!   so far i have...

Hey guys, im about to start ordering parts for a new pc, and was wondering what to do in the audio department..   At the moment I have a 5year old Auzentech X-Meridian sound card, paired with Audio Technica ATH-A900 cans   I am happy with the sound (although the thin shiny material cover...

Hey all.. ok, so an introduction: I'm a regular guy who likes his music and games. I play Counter Strike 1.6 (fps game), and listen to music of all kinds (happy hardcore in particular, which as you'd imagine has bass in it), such as classical, salsa, metal (which I listen to through my...
