Hi guys, what is the best amp to use with the akg k712? It's to play in ps4, connected to a mixamp.
The price range it's 200-250 €,in this point I'm between ifi ican and aune s7x, there's a better amp for the price?
100% something like the Schiit Magni whatever number they are on.

Yup. The Magni 3 is excellent for the PS4. I have my iFi iOne connected with the Magni 3.

No one replied to my post :/ No problem, it is ok :D I ordered a K612 Pro with the help of MLE's reviews, i chose it instead of HD 598/K702 because there was a great price difference. I bought it for 99 euros(115 dollars) on amazon.de, surprising because the price of it is 170 dollars on amazon.com. Now i need a cheap amp until i save money for a Schiit. Can you help me choose? I have couple of choices.

Sellers says it is an older model but in mint condition and works perfectly.

-A tube amp model made by a local guy, it sells a lot in here and reviews are really good. Has 3A5 Nos RCA tubes and Korean potentiometer.

I don't like commenting on gear I don't know anything about, hence why I don't reply to you or anyone asking about random gear.

Sorry, your earlier post about that matter weirdly didn't hit me until now even though i read it. I guess because you directed it to people who messages you directly. I also asked about the headphones you reviewed too so that's another reason. I'll ask about the amps somewhere else.

So I bought an Avantree Bluetooth transmitter that has aux, rca, AND optical in, plus a lot of codecs.

Well even though it has aptX and aptX-LL (the ideal codec), it looks like the Koss Portapro wireless only does aptX and not aptX LL, so the transmitter defaults to faststream codec, which is low latency, but sounds... not great.

Damn, Koss. How you gonna release a new wireless headphones and not have aptX-LL? SMH.

Bought this transmitter to keep virtual surround from my X7, but the audio quality of this codec is buttcheeks. :frowning2:


Do HD 558 and G4me One sound close? Can someone compere these two?
They should definitely sound similar.

@Mad Lust Envy thanks for the review! I'm currently finding solution for the mmx 300 to fit, the ear pads that is included are really painful. I'm just wondering should I go for the mmx 300 or go for other gaming headset. Created a thread about the mmx300 but no one replied

I would get some Dekoni hybrid pads made for the Beyer DT series. Not sure how you could find the stock pads uncomfortable, lol.

I'm not very sure too.. I was reading all reviewing and everyone saying it's super comfortable and I was eagerly wanting to purchase it online. Till I went to try it the headphone just clamps my cheekbone/ jaw area, I also have tried it with the beyer T1 it fits but a bit loose it's more comfortable but still hurts. Maybe the headphone doesn't suit me. The dekoni pad is quite pricey

On any headphone the fit and comfort is what's basic. If that is ok, we can talk about the sound. So before you purchase you might want to look elswhere. Sennheiser has some offerings too, or you look into AKG 6XX / 7XX. If you ad a mic you might have all the comfort that you need.
