But my stereo is pretty damn far away from my couch, so I think I would need an extension cable (I want to watch TV and DVDs with my headphones).

Another thing, I tried a few VBRs on my mp3 cd player and they sounded totally weird, as if they were being played at a slower rate than normal. Could my mp3 cd player not support VBRs or something? Do I have to invest in something better now if I want to use VBRs? |

Do I have to invest in something better now if I want to use VBRs? Also, since I plan on building my computer this summer, what sound card do you guys recommend for use with an unamped A500s? I'm looking for an affordable one that isn't too expensive for someone just getting into the realm of audiophilia (I'm deinfetly not looking for something that is $100 or more). Any recommendations? Also: I'm a little confused now; getting a new soundcard like the M-Audio, is that like getting an amp? So, would that mean that I would get better sound quality from my A500s when they are hooked up to my computer through the M-Audio 5.1 Revolution than if they were directly hooked up to an mp3 player? Before I go to bed, what do you guys think of this auction? It's the same price as the A500s, but they are better headphones (Aren't they?)? They are new too. Too good to be true? Also, could you answer my other questions in my previous 2 posts? Thanks. |

Do I have to invest in something better now if I want to use VBRs? So, the M-Audio 5.1 Revolution will be great for listening to music through my headphones and playing games too? What about when it comes to using speakers? Is the M-Audio still pretty good? Also, to what extent do the speakers affect the quality of the heaphones (Since you are using the headphone hack on the speakers, should the quality of the speakers affect how good your headphones will sound? I'm using pretty crappy ones right now, the Logitech Z-340s)? Also: I'm a little confused now; getting a new soundcard like the M-Audio, is that like getting an amp?

Also, could you answer my other questions in my previous 2 posts? Thanks. I've been curious, has there even been anyone who has found all this soundstage, instruments nice and separated, crips clear highs, etc. stuff ever to sound worse than when they aren't all separated? I mean, if the instruments were separated, wouldn't the song sound totally different, and, maybe, worse? I'm just asking because I want to be sure there is a good track record for these crappy headphones to audiophile headphones experiences so that I can feel more confident about mine. |
