I actually wrote CAL's instead of Koss's, but deleted it to go with something more different from the Astro's

Aurvana Live?

nice, they r on sale atm, hows their soundstage and positional accuracy for competitive gameplay compared to the a50(which i have) and the superlux 681 evo?

cheers, taking a lot into them!

  You'd be paying almost as much for the Astro as you are for the K7xx wouldn't you?
 
And it'd only be a temporary unit while you wait?
 
If I had to make the choice I'd look at something like the Koss's or a cheap closed can, so at the end of the day you'd have 2 totally different headphones that do what they do well - and each would still have a place moving fowrard.

Hey, man! I'm only getting the mixamp, not the headset combo.

interesting, I will look into those as well. What do you guys think? are the hd 681 eve an upgrade or side grade from the astro a50, in terms of competitive fps gaming and sound quality?

Aurvana Live?

I looked into those and they are on sale, sweet. What do u guys think? Aurvana live vs superlux 681 evo for my taste? Or r my astro a50 still better than them? (competitive fps gaming with immersive single player games as well)
 
Thanks in advanced

If I was you I'd stick with the A50's that you have for the time being rather than spend any cash for the short term.
 
If you already have them and they work - mixing and matching on the cheap is more going to be a side-grade, not an upgrade.

Kk, sounds good. Thanks for the help. I shall hold out till the next mass drop n make do with my current setup till then. Cheers.

I regret falling for the gaming headset nonsense twice haha. G930 long ago n then Astro a50 last year. Haha, these days, there's more misinformation than the truth for any kind of topic. For example, healthy eating.

1 last question - what are you going to be driving the headphones from?
 
Whatever it is - someone will be able to say if it's up for the AKG's or not (never bothered asking as it was the Q701's? you were getting intially

 

[lilboozy]

Do you need a mixamp if you get the Skullcandy PLYR?

@Evshrug Hey, bud. What are your thoughts on whether or not the Creative G5 will be able to output voice chat for daisy chaining?

I currently have the schiit magni 2 uber/modi 2 uber stacks getting audio through toslinq pass through from pc into the stack.

Those should be enough to drive most headphones while providing good audio right?

Yup, Q701's were my initial choice among the many choices I decided on getting. Then I looked into the mass drop ones you mentioned and their reviews, definately want those now haha.

Speaking of creative and their new line of gaming headsets...




I get the marketing angle they are going for "hip" and "slightly sexual" ... But these "girls" smh... Ugh
