    HE1000 Stealth - Gaming performance?

    Anyone have any experience using either HE1000 V2 or Stealth in games? I was thinking of buying the HD800S which is the holy grail for games but i don't like to spend that amount of money on something that doesn't "wow" me. I really like headphones with warmth and a bit of bass to the sound and...

    I've had the Sennheiser HD700 for many many years. I've tried changing them with many other headphones, even selling them and by the end of the week i have bought HD700 back again :D They really have been my go to headphones and i feel they are almost perfect. Super comfortable but the sound...

    Replacing HD700 with HD58X Jubilee?

    Had my HD700's from Sennheiser for many years and now looking to replace them cause they have seen better days. I was hugely disappointed with them when i first got them but thanks to these forums i could atleast EQ them to make them sound better. I mostly use the headphones for gaming. 80%...

    How does this BT headset sound better than HD700?

    Difficult question but this kinda screwed with my head a bit. I've used the Sennheiser HD700 for about 5-6 years now. When i first got em they sounded horrible so i had to use EQ to make em sound good. (EQ profiles from this forum). Recently the wirings on em stopped working so i figured i would...

    Best frequency response for gaming

    I came across an article about what is the sweet spot for frequency response in gaming, and it is from 12Hz to a max of 28Khz. Above 28Khz and you get noise pollution. Now my Sennheiser HD700 are way above that, mine goes up to 42Khz max. Anyone know the technical reason behind this if its true...

    Dolby Digital and DTS for Playstation 4 - Does it do anything else than compression?

    Ive been reading up on the whole PCM vs Bitstream options for Playstation 4. PCM = The console handles the decoding of the PCM stream from the game. Bitstream = PCM stream from the game gets passthrough to the receiver for decoding. But out of curiousity, why are games even branded with Dolby...

    Considering replacing my HD700 with a DT770 Pro

    Ive had my Sennheiser HD700's for a long time. I really enjoy them, cant feel them on my head and sound is amazing with EQ. I mostly use the headset for music and games. I have come to the realization that in a noisy family environment open-back is just not possible especially when trying to...

    The mystery that is Dolby Atmos for Headphones

    I have been trying to figure out what this spatial audio in Windows 10 actually does but the documentation on this is very lacking. From reading the FAQ you could get the idea that it only supports supported titles. But i've been using this for several games that is not supported and it clearly...

    Win10 - Signal Enhancements (Allows extra signal processing)

    I've noticed this option on my playback device. It changes the sound drasticly if i remove it. I googled it and found no info about it, some users thinking its just disabling some effects but the text says "Allows extra signal processing by the audio device" which kinda makes me believe is good...

    Any point getting a better amp for my HD700's?

    I have a pair of Sennheiser HD700's and using Sound Blaster G6 which has an amp capable of up to 600 Ohm's. But is there any quality change if i start using something like a Schiit product with combined dac and amp or something else? Feel the G6 is a bit pointless as im not using any of its...

I have a great alternative for microphone with the new ModMic Wireless which i can put on my HD700, but is there any alternative to HD700 that is wireless? And...

    Are gaming headphones really just a gimmick?

    I've always been using studio headsets and always thought these plastic gaming headsets to be just awful to wear and listen to. But when Sennheiser launched theyre GSP series lineup i was kinda interested to know Sennheisers opinion on this. The sales guy could not give me the answer so he...

    Currently im running a Asus Essence STX soundcard with headphone amp. Using a Sennheiser HD650 with it. When i tried out a more quality microphone like Audio Technica AT2005 through XLR to 6.3mm to the soundcard there was alot of noise, while my USB microphone (Blue Snowball) which is cheap...

    Is stereo best for headsets while gaming?

    I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650 coupled with a soundcard with amplifier for headphones. I have always used some sort of virtual surround while playing and yesterday by accident i played in stereo and felt maybe its better? Spatial Sound in Windows 10 with Dolby Atmos for example creates a more...
