lol, the bose arent even Hi-Res certified (last time i checked) nor have LDAC allowing 990kbit with flac/uncompressed files. and now one buys these for range on wireless. and most would prefer SQ over getting couple feet more. not even talking about the fact the bose are done when they run out...

Look at the sennheiser ones, maybe even get headphones like the HD558 and mod them (youtube, very easy to do) and add a separate mic. After i switched, i dont really care for any other brand anymore, so im not familiar with the hypers.

@solandri crap your right, forgot 4.1 is only front/back/sub. been a while since i did HT...

Nope, wont work, as the signal isnt there. If you want to just "test" if it works, connect it to either left or right, but without a 5.1 (or higher) amp it won't work properly.

It should work, the can handle about 100 ohm, so dont expect full performance of the HP (which are basically Sennheiser HD650). For that, you would need a card with HP amp like the DGX. Make sure to use the UNI drivers... http://maxedtech.com/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/

for windows based lappy, go with asus/msi. 16gb should help a little, as chrome/browsers can eat a lot of ram. same for dedicated gpu, as it allows some software to offload things from the cpu. dell and acer are ok, but the quality of msi/asus is far better. alienware nothing more than a dell...

the problem might be, that some files dont match what the car can play. mp3/wma is only the format, but wont tell you exact specs. i can have mp3s in 192khz, which will most likely not play in any car stereo. find out what the car stereo supports, or you might not see any difference, no matter...

Go with the Sony. Before the 1st RX was released, everyone said the prosumers wont buy it, and the consumer wont pay to buy it. Sony now even does go up to pro grade with the RX lineup, running at 4000$ for the top one. If you can, go with something like the mirrorless alpha...

oh right, you meant the laptops. i was sayin it for the cpus..

amd already said q1 multiple times.

not so much the problem swapping the physical chip, but you are also looking at higher power/cooling needs, which is most of the time the issue. the A10 is already the largest chip. you might be better off waiting until new units come out with zen/7700 series, as prices will drop. saving for a...

as long as OS/panel are set to 120, its not a problem. there are tvs with 240Hz panel/refresh that do 3D...

you need it. it works the same way on (active 3D) tvs, except they had the emitter build-in (that was why 3D tvs were marked as such), by syncing the screen (flipping from L to R pic, and back). with the shutters in your glasses. the only time im a 100% sure u wont need it, is if you use...

there are solution with external solutions, but they need a connection/cooling/power and most of them are just cases, and the gpu being separate. so expect to spend around 400$ (i dont see it making sense to have eGPU if its low end), IF you can connect it to your laptop. your laptop is old, a...

k. i havent worked support/tech stuff for a few years, and cant think of anything else. might wanna check with a local shop/microcenter (walkin and ask about the issue).
