audiophile

I'm looking to take the plunge into the world of audio, the best pair of headphones I have being the Sony 7.1 Golds I bought with my PS4. I'm looking at the DT990 Pros because of the bass and soundstage, and the fact that it's open. The only problem I have is I don't know if the amp I have...

That is right, I am not a audiophile buff so when it comes to headphones I do not know much. I have a focusrite 2i2 and I make techno and metal along with gaming and I am looking to upgrade. For my budget dont worry about that (this doesn't mean send me a link to some $500 pair of cans) I just...

i am really enjoying my new headphones but i realized they sounded better while plugged in to my friends new iMac then my phone or pc, after some research i think its because the iMac has a built in amp or DAC, i know what a amp is for the most part but not a DAC, I'm new to to the audiophile...

Hi, folks! The title is pretty self-explanatory; I'm in the need of a set of cans that'll perform adequately with music, film scores/sound effects and PC games. However, there are a couple stipulations that I have in mind for an ideal set. The first is immersion - I'd like to have a set of...

I need some ideas... I need a pair of high end headphones or a headset for my gaming pc since my Logitech g930 has been acting up. Price is not an issue that I'm concerned with as long as we don't go well over $500. I'm not too particular on if it has a microphone as I have a standalone mic. If...

Hello, I have an question that I hope a few will answer. I was wondering if there's a possibility where I could use an audiophile headset, for gaming. I'm not sure if it's a reality or not but it would make sense if it was possible right. So if you answer this thread, I'm looking for an...

Hello thank you for your time. Im currently looking at headphones to further expand my audio experience. What I need help in is good headphones and dac/amp combo. My budget is $200 but Im willing to spend 50 more dollars if needed. I mostly game and listen to music daily. I play fps games so I...

I recently picked up these AKG Q701s and love how they sound, the only problem is I think my PC has a little trouble driving them as theyre a little quiet even on max volume. I hear the sound quality and volume increases with an amp What would be a good amp to use with these? Im not familiar...

I am looking for a very high end set of headphones. I prefer over ear sets and it will be used for music, movies, and gaming. I want the best quality possible when listening to music but I also need very good directional sound for when I play games. I have a budget of ~350 USD for the headset...

I was looking at the Sennheiser HD 598, and the ATH-ad900x, but would like some suggestions on a nice pair of headphones. For a budget, I will have 200-220$, depending if the headphones have a detachable cable or not, because i'm either going to get an Antlion Mod Mic 4.0 for an attached cable...

Hey, I need to get a Shure SM58 to record stuff on my pc. With this being said, I can't afford a mixer or anything like that. Also, my onboard audio is broken which is why I need the USB soundcard. I know it's better to use an audio interface, but will this setup work?` Mic: Shure SM 58...

Hi, I am getting the AKG-Q701 for about $150 which is a great deal, but I wanted to know if the AudionEngine D1 Dac combined with the Behringer MiniAmp 800 will be able to power these headphones. Thanks for the help.

I'm very new to the DAC world. In fact I'm new to the high quality audio world in general. I have my own custom rig but I don't have a separate sound card because I didn't think it mattered. I currently use the audio chipset built into my mobo and some Steel Series Siberia V2's as my headset...

A friend of mine recommended these; http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD25-1-II-Closed-Back-Headphones/dp/B000TDZOXG He said they're the best he's ever used, but I'd like other thoughts. Anyone else use these?
