Thank you so much!Always set the game to 5.1 Home Theater when using the Mixamp.

I imagine they sounded pretty good, because the reviewer himself was super amped. I don't actually know what that means (maybe the cap was necessary for the super amping), but it sounds like an audio revolution.When a reviewer wears the cups/pads on the outside of his cap..... I'll wait for another review (did he mention if the closed ones seal the sound in?)
I'm skeptical of anything marketed as a "gaming" product until I try it for myself.Guys, don't mind with the reviewer Just by guessing, what are the chances of those are good ones?

In my experience, headsets that target the gaming audience tend to focus more on styling (and lately RGB) rather than comfort and sound. There are a few standouts, but the majority of the gaming market just falls into a big ol' pool that keeps washing over itself.There's usually technically nothing wrong with "gaming" headsets. They just typically aren't as good for the cost as what you can do with separate items, and you're paying a premium for the all-in-one package and branding. One of the few headsets I could ever personally recommend would be the Sennheiser PC360.
What about the Beyerdynamic headsets?

The list of headsets I'd recommend is small as well. The Sennheiser PC 360 doesn't make my list, but I do like the Massdrop/Sennheiser PC37X. I also liked the original HyperX Cloud, though I haven't heard any of the recent revisions. That was essentially a rebrand of one of QPAD's most popular headsets.
I have high expectations of a headset. It's tough for one to meet my criteria and get the thumbs up. Unless a headset is absolutely necessary, I'd usually suggest starting with a great pair of headphones and find a way to add a mic.
They updated their MMX 300 to include a detachable cable, changed their boom mic and made it overall a more rounded headset. We made a thread during CES for the announcement, but I've not heard the new one yet. The changes looked to all be positive. I've listened to music through the original MMX 300, but never gamed with it.What about the Beyerdynamic headsets? I remember You posting about a Beyerdynamic a little while back.
Depends, if you need a virtual sound device (headphone surround sound) for a gaming console, might as well buy a used Astro Mix-amp (off eBay), or even cheaper a used Turtle Beach systems DSS (off eBay).What is the go to virtual sound device? I wanted the mixamp but they haven't released a new one for quite some time.
