I currently have the superlux hd668b headphones and am planning to get the ASUS XONAR DG Headphone Amp & PCI 5.1 Audio Card sound card pretty soon. With the superlux(no sound card)I can barely hear footsteps in battlefield 4 even with the equalization modified. I have two questions. First of...

I have recently purchased the Philips Fidelio X1 as well as the V-MODA BoomPro Mic for PC gaming and Music listning with heavy bass. I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to pick up a new Astro A40 mixamp to use with it can get it for $90AUS or will my Creative...

Hey, i recently purchased the 2013 astro a40 package that comes with the mixamp. I have absolutely no problems with the equipment, but when i tried to link together the astro mixamp along with the turtle beach's DSS, the overall volume was massively increased as well as a bass boost feature from...

Hello everyone,   Before you ask, yes I saw the huge thread about gaming headset recommendations but that is simply the opinion of one person. I was wondering what you guys would recommend as far as a gaming headset or headphone/mic combo. I am using a asus xonar DG. So far I have considered...

thanks for your participation.

Basically what do you guys think is th better choice aside from the fact that Astros are $100 more than trittons. People with experience please help Sent from my LGMS500 using Tapatalk

So I was settled on the Astro a40s until I read how superb the beyerdynamic mmx 300 were supposed to be compared to other gaming headphones. I figured I may as get a nice pair as they are something I would be using for years with my PS4. I'm not at all an audiophile and do not know much about...

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.   I am stuck between these:   Astro Gaming A40 Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 Ohm) Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME Sennheiser HD598   I'll use it mostly for gaming, sometimes movies and music. I don't have a headphone amp but my motherboard...

I am looking for a high quality headset or pair of headphones + mic and possibly external amp + dac that reach "audiophile" level. I would like to stay under $500 for the setup, if possible. This will be used for gaming on my Xbox and PC plus music and movies on my PC.  As far as taste goes, I...

It is about that time to replace my aging Turtle Beach HPA2. It has been beaten to hell and back and is just tired. So I am looking for a new headset. After the greay advice ages ago on the   clip ons I purchased(my account has seemingly been deleted since then) I turn to you for help. I have...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

So I have Astro A40's right now which i bought years ago and now I am to the point where I can not wear them because they give me the worst headache ever do to the top band. So I am looking for some new headphones. I would be using them on my computer and iPhone mainly, I would be gaming on my...

Hello. First to clarify that I need an over-the-ear headset that will hold the speaker with a single joint. I looked around a little bit and found two models that I liked(the choice is not much with such a specific requirement): Philips CitiScape SHL5905 and Turtle beack Ear Force N11  ...

I know that gaming audio is basically a joke, for good reason, but as a long-time lurker (5+ years at this point) and a big-time gamer, it's been killing me that there really aren't any great audio products available for gamers. Seems like a case of "you get what you ask for"--the gaming market...

Hello guys, I am new to the forums. About a month ago I needed a new pair of headphones for my computer, I am a PC gamer, and I have had the same pair of beats solos for about 3 years, I had them since they first came out. I was gaming with those and some cheap microphone for a while. I was...

As of now, I use Sennheiser HD558's connected to a Denon E300 AVR. Which feeds from the HDMI out of the video card, into the receiver getting both audio and video. For me, it's been fine this way. Would there be any SQ difference upgrading to a soundcard with a headphone amp? I'm looking to get...

Hello this is my first time posting here on Head-Fi. I have been reading threads on here for weeks now and I finally decided to just join since I'm here so often anyways. I need some advice from you guys out there. I am searching for my fist pair of audiophile level headphones. Previously I have...

I was looking into getting the STX to use with my Astro A40. My question is, I use the Astros to broadcast so would I use the mixamp that comes with the astros or would I lost the use of the mixamp. Would I connect the mixamp to the soundcard or its that just a waste of the soundcard. Thanks. 

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my thread!   I am currently looking for a nice headset for gaming and music purposes (would also consider headphones with clip on mic). I would mostly be playing MMOs and some FPS games like BF3 on the PC and the music I listen to is mostly from...

    I have a MSI 1761 Laptop with on-board Sound Blaster Compatible 3D Audio Realtek AC892. My sound card settings show stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 and 7.1. I checked with the company that assembled my laptop, who verified that with the motherboard co. that I would support 2.1 natively, but could...

Im looking to buy a new headset which will be used for movies, gaming and music. I need them to have exceptional surround sound above all and be able to support multiple formats like dts and dd etc. This will be my first buy so I need help deciding what to get.

I have the AD-700 that I use for music, but with the mixamp on shooters they have very screeching highs that literally hurt my ears. Directional audio and such is fine with Dolby Headphone, but I need something with a little more bass. I actually prefer a headset with a microphone. I'd rather...

Long time lurker, just registered to ask all you very informed people. Long story short I want to get some really nice gaming headphones for my consoles and PC. And so the GF doesn't yell at me when I'm playing and she is trying to sleep :) Long story short. I first started looking at astro...

Hello everyone!   About a year ago I purchased a pair of Astro A40s. Before that point all I was using was cheap headsets/ear buds I would purchase at Walmart. I thought sound was sound, and that music would be the same through any media it was put through. Immediately after purchasing the...

So let me start out by saying I've been lurking the forums for the past few days reading as much as I can on reviews about different headphones and ones that are better for gaming and ones that aren't. Even read all of Mad Lust Envy's reviews. I finally decided to register on the forums and ask...
