I'm an avid gamer and have been playing FPS games for well over a decade; couple seasons of Counter-Strike 1.3-1.6 CAL-I (knocked out by Team3D in the playoffs every season but what can you do) under my belt when I was younger and had the time to play at a top level. I've been through a ton of...

I did not know that... Looks like these units ship out with a gain of 5 so I have to bump it up to 10. Can't wait to fix this when I get off work then! Are there any other tweaks I should be aware of?

I received my Beyerdynamic DT880/600 and the Little Dot MK III a few days ago. I have a question regarding the "volume" of my system cause I have around 50%-80% hearing loss (depends on the frequency) from a birth defect so what's loud to others is not loud to me. As a result, my comfortable...

Doh, I should've checked the specs on my AVR-254 before posting. You're right, it does have Dolby Headphone. So I guess that answers that. Do you have any recommendations for an extension cable for the DT880s? I'm probably going to need a 10ft one since it's almost 10ft from where I sit to the...

I've decided to get the Beyerdynamic DT880/600 once moon-audio comes back from vacation next week. However, since this will be my first serious attempt at setting up a decent audio system; I need some help with the accessories that I need to pick up. I plan to use these headphones for both...

True, using the EQ is a safer way of balancing sounds out but since I was born with poor hearing and it's remained unchanged for 25 years, I don't have an accurate frame of reference for how something or a song should sound. So I guess isn't really a problem as long as it sounds fine to me. I...

I've been browsing the forums for a good pair of headphones for gaming and it seems like the DT880s are the best. I'll be gaming on my PC using the Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty as my source. I do have some hearing problems however that arose from birth and left me with 50% hearing loss in...

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase a 2.1 sound system for the 32" tv in my room (12" x 10"). Since the tv itself is pretty small, it'd look weird if I were using massive floorstanding speakers with it. So I was considering the Klipsch RB-35. I'll be using these speakers only for watching movies...

Can anyone recommend a mini stereo system for around $200-300? My sisters 16th bday is coming up and since she totalled the minivan while driving with her permit, I don't think my parents are gonna buy her a new car anytime soon Anywho, she listens to music all the time on her Aureal Vortex...

man who chose the colors for that website? uglyyyyyyy

I was looking for a nice all-in-one solution for dvd/music/console gaming/tv for my room. Maybe something like these I don't really want to spend more than $600 as I'd like to save some money for my other hobbies. I would've bought those sony ones but the satelites are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally ugly...

Seeing as how this is an excellent site for information on headphones and sources, I was wondering if anyone knew a similar site for home theatre and design? (Head-fi = headphones/sources, hardforum = computers, ? = home theatre)I recently landed a very nice job and plan to upgrade my tv...

yea, I didn't want to use an amp though so I gave the 80s a try. Didnt' think there'd be that much of a difference.

psssh, our division is the worst, all we do is play canadian and central clans when we're like the only west team. All our matches have to be played on those terrible texas and chicago servers. blah! that's ok though, when we get beat we make ourselves feel better knowing that the other team is...

sorry, double post, dumb school internet!

Quote: Wut cal I clan do you play for? Good reviews I play for [SYB], granted we're not the best, but considering we collectively have less playtime than any single player in most top team, I think we're pretty damn good in that regard ^^ We're yahoo pool and isketch junkies!

Quote: Good review, but I'd prefer an open phone for such team based games like CS,BF1942,CoD etc. I agree with you that open headphones are easier to communicate on LAN as you can hear people when not using voice-chat and you don't sound as muffled to yourself when you speak. This...

I bought the Sony MDR-v6s and Beyerdynamic DT770-80s from my local Guitar Center this Saturday. After getting in some good play time these past few days, I can say that I will definately be keeping the v6s. I'll explain the reasons for my decision in the paragraphs below. Counter-Strike I...

Nuts, I was hoping EAX wouldn't matter with headphones because it's outputting from two channels only. Oh well guess I can't have the best of both worlds. I only play counter-strike competitively and the sound engine uses the old EAX 1.0 engine which is fully supported by the Revo. When I play...

Do NOT get the PC150s, they are absolutely terrible for gaming. It was the headset created mainly for counter strike/unreal tournament players but the positional cues are probably the worst I've heard in a headset thus far. Perhaps I tried out a faulty unit, although this is highly unlikely as...

After reading a bunch of m-audio revolution 7.1 reviews I noticed that all tests were conducted using a 4.1 or higher speaker setup. Every review agreed that the Audigy 2 ZS was MUCH better than the revo for this setup, but would it really matter if you only game using headphones? A few reviews...

Sure, they still haven't credited back the money to my account yet! It's been two days already since they issued it, damn bank is so slow!

Quote: I'm convinced I need somthing in the Beyer line-up, for the comfort.. well, if you read all the posts in this thread and the one I started. The general consensus is that the DT770s are the best for gaming and movie watching. The DT880s are the best for music but cost quite...

hrrrm would the powerful bass in the 770s make voices sound really boomy and bloated? I use voice chat a lot and I'm not sure if the bass will be an issue.
