o_o someone's been busy lol. I found head-fi while chosing "better" headphones by mistake. Boy as that a big mistake

 

[stang]

Yes lol, one day I posted 63 times

I was looking for better gaming headphones coz mine broke, found the ATH-AD700 and went on here and looked at all the reviews. After that head-fi kept popping up when I looked at different headphones (I was bored

) so I joined

Just back on topic, if anyone's playing MW2 (PS3) on head-fi and wants to add me - Ninkul. Mention head-fi in the friend request

I tried and couldn't do it with Grado's.. I find the K702 to preform very well with MW2 as it has a huge soundstage.

I'm a little afraid to play Condemned again; the first time I played it, it scared me during certain levels and that was with a set of speakers. I can't imagine how it would be with headphones.

You guys used it un-amped, headphone out of your desktop ?

Nope, I have my 360s HDMI out to my TV. Then I run my TV's optical output to my DAC, then that goes to my WA22.

When I was running my WA22 straight from my T.V. (RCA outputs), I got a pretty bad buzzing around 11 o'clock on the volume dial, but now it's dead quiet and sounds awesome.

I mostly play heroes of newerth with my AD700s, and I don't really experience what people describe.
I run it straight out of my comp, should I have some sort of amp for it?

 

[schwallman]

I tried it out last week with my 325is. It was crazy the amount of sounds you miss out on. In derail, around the electric facility, you can hear the electricity buzzing. All kinds of neat stuff in the game. I do need to figure out how to use a mic though.

Same here haha

was initially using sennheiser pc160 for gaming on tf2 and css

tried using akg k702 w stock cable, headphone out.

everything clear.. and its really great that the "bass" is lowered alot, alot alot, as those rifle shots in css is really deafening on my pc160, which is alot better on my akgs.
Yeah, can hear alittle more details, but doesn't really affect my game play as much, just that I was unequipped with a mic, hence I solo-ed gameplay and played better o.o, as i wasn't chit chatting, or wasting my time talking and spend more time killing.

but I don't get what they said about pin-point accuracy of the guns and explosion ???
don't really feel it, guess i will need to use a dac ?

I don't know about the higher end Grado's, but playing something like Call of Duty or Counter-Strike with SR60s was horrible. Any type of gun fire or explosions were completely muted. Sounds much better with my HD650s, but I'm sure it would sound better still with some of the other (non-Grado) headphones suggested in this thread.

 

[Junliang]

Btw, have you guys heard of 5.1 headphones ?
Basically its a category of headphone with surroud sound system, anyone have any good recommendations for gaming ??

 

[Mochan]

Don't people use speakers for gaming anymore?!
