WoW, were do I start... these things are the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned, or worn for that matter. They are big, but coincidentally they look awsome, I wore them and my wife put them on, wow! The pads are so soft. BF2 sounds awsome now, I was using cheap headphones when she was like honey... how much do you love me.. I was like huh? then from out of the kitchen she breaks the bad boys out... I instantly put them on and... well out poured the eargasms.... There is one problem though... nothing to do with the heaphones, but my source is an audigy 2 and for that matter I think its a value, it was supposed to be an A2 zs... but that didn't happen, the X-Fi will be coming in this xmas... But man...

I put them on an was instantly immersed, the sound was coming from all directions and not pushed up against my head, IT SOUNDED FAR AWAY.. I took them off just to see how far the drivers were from my ear, not far, but it sure sounds like it, it's awsome... I'll get into more detail like I said before but I need to mess around with them and get used to it.. the detail is amazing.. If you want a great gaming Headphones.. MUST BUY if your in int $100 budget...

Tanks sound awsome, Jets, Helo's all sound glorious, and I can tell where they are coming from front back, left, right, and even diagnals... Again these bad boys are limited by my soundcard, but they even sound great, feel great, and look great. Couldn't be happier.. I tried some music at 196 bits, unfortunatly on an onboard soundcard on the other comp, but man it sounded awsome... base is good, I only used them about 2 hours, this weekend while at work I'll burn em in about 48 hours, so next week should have some more to say...

I don't know if anoyone remebers me saying I was buying these cans exclusively for gaming... well... I lied! AT first this was the plan, but just for fun I listened to some music from my audigy 2 on them, jaw.. dropping.. goodness. I'm now an adict and spent nearly 6 hours at work listening to some various CD's. I liike musice again... I guess for me this is the Viagra I was looking for. Not only am I now immersed in my games, I find myself in the middle of computing something at work, to all of the sudden notice myself starrying blankly at the paper, trying to figure out what the sound hidden, ever so slightly revealing itself to me, then going CRAP, get to work Mike... again, Wow. When I listen to songs with drums it's like I'm sitting in the room right there with him/her beating on those drums, hitting that pedal right in my face, yes, I can hear the pedal! Symbols sound like symbols, going to have to get some new music, or oldies, CURSE YOU HEAD-FI!

Well lets see, I live in Texas, small town, so things usually take a little longer anyway but I clicked submit Thursday afternoon, and recieved them the next week Wed. morning... so 4 days. Get ready for the "EARGASMICiSMS"
