I must say, being a massive Metal Gear fan, I will be getting this sometime in the next few months. I've only ever drooled over headphones twice...they seem to be well rated and sound pretty good. Awesome...metal gear AWESOME....GREY FOX!!
not that im comparing, but Shure said the 440 would be AMAZING too...and it was
thing is, this specific set has been out for a few months already and has nice reviews. Comes with that amp and mic, I'll likely get it and review it for everyone
they seem perfect for me. All my favorite sets are versatile sets, that handle all types of music with a good soundstage, look sexy, and are portable. This a40 MGS version fits all of my needs. I just hope it sounds "usable" for me.
What really intrigues me is that amp. It's incredibly powerful. I am not sure if there is a line in and out on that but if there is, the package is worth it for 250$.
This review said the amp was good but the Headset itself sucked. I'm sure the reason for the high price tag is because of their partnership with MLG. Am I supposed to take that organization seriously?
I absolutely agree with everything written. That amp is unique. I am curious to know what it can do with other headphones. I just got myself a pair of Shure 750Djs that I'd love to test with an amp like that. Again since I am collector of Metal Gear stuff, I may pick this package up, but it wont be for another few months from now. :[
Does that mean it will enhance the soundstage of some headphones for music? I mean...thats what its for right? Err....
see heres the thing, for around 140$ I'd love an amp that can handle full sized cans and give it a surround sound boost, hell even a nice boost in general. Hard to find good small amps that power full sized cans well

Basically. It uses Dolby Headphone preset 2. It does a good job of mimicking a "generic" listening room. It does an extremely good job of mimicking surround sound too, considering the cost. It's closest to a poor man's Headzone.

I can understand that. If you want to learn about Dolby Headphone and some of our attempts at a silent HT (or mimicking speakers, DH does that).
The A40 headset sucks for music. They make me want to scratch my eyeballs out. They are good for gaming but not amazing there either. The mix amp has very little power. You need pretty sensitive cans. I know it couldn't even come close to driving my HD650s when I had them. There is a great review on the MLG forum of lots of cans used with the mix amp. As soon as I get my M50's Ill try them with the mix amp. I dont think the whole setup is worth $250 at all. I was lucky though and got the whole deal for $100 on craigslist. Id try to find the mixamp separate if I were you.
And why would someone not take MLG seriously? I guess you have to be a gamer to understand. Just like folks dont understand audiophile I guess. Im both but lean my expertise towards gaming.
