High-End Audio

So the situation is this... My G35s broke and I need a new gaming headset, I was looking in the price range of the siberia elite and the Vengeance 2100, however I'm under the impression that I would get both better sound and probably a better mic if I went for a pair of audiophile headphones and...

I'm looking at the aforementioned headphones for on-the-go and at-home listening, mainly to video games and trap/EDM/glitch hop. Which one suits my needs best? Price can be considered a factor, but only if audio and build quality are otherwise tied. Thanks.

Hey, So a month ago I've picked up my Beyerdynamic 990's (250 ohms) and I decided to get the best out of it. Now I am whole new to "high-end" audio. So I have no idea what a DAC is or an AMP, read some forums, didn't really help. My budget is around 100-150 euro (110-170 dollar)...

I was thinking that sometime in the future I will upgrade my audio setup and purchase the Sennheiser HD800 headphones, but I don't know what amplifier would be a good choice. Someone recommended the Teac HA-501, but I'm also starting with elecronic music production and I've been told that there...

I have "Realtek HD Audio Manager" and I've been playing around for the last month with the Equalizer and I just can't seem to be satisfied with anything.

So I produce bass heavy music and I only have 400$ to drop on some decent monitors that will help me get my mixes to that next level. First off I'm going to get all my requirements out of the way so i can get an accurate recommendation... - I don't know if i'd call it a small room but i will be...

I'm in the market for Beyerdynamic headphones, but cannot decide on the impedance (32, 250 or 600 Ohms). I will be using the headphones on a desktop, so getting an appropriate amp and/or equipment should not be an issue. I will not be using them for portable devices. I read that higher/lower...
