Re: headphones and microsoft soundscape.
Re: headphones and microsoft soundscape. The first and probably the only advice I could give is to use a pair of headphones which does not block your hearing. It doesn't necessarily need to be a pair of expensive ones.

Re: Headphones
Re: Headphones Hmmm. I wonder if I made a mistake, when I went shopping for headphones, I completely forgot about gaming headphones. Well, I got my headphones from Amazon, I can always return them if I'm not happy with them.I got the over the ear headphone I plan to use for music and games. They are nice and comfortable, but they needed charging, so I have to wait for them to charge before I can try them out.

Re: Headphones At RTR Assassin,If you get the G930, make sure you download the updated firmware. I have the G430, which is the wired version of that headset.

But there is firmware now that fixes the problem. I believe I read that the firmware update applies to the G930 as well as the G430, so just be aware of that if you decide to get it.I'm told now that my audio sounds great, and, with the firmware update, there is a noise cancellation checkbox that you can disable, located in the enhancements tab in your recording properties for the device.Other than that, I love this headset for both gaming and music.

Re: Headphones Hello,I own a pare of creative hs-390 headpones, with two plugs, one ofr the headset and one for he mic.

So, the other day I ordered a new pair of these, because well, my old pair was dying. Low and behold, they arrive, but then when I went on Teamtalk, people said the microphone sounded different. Interestingly, I had a test of it, and, well, I odn't really know what's happened.

Re: Headphones
Re: Headphones Hi all,The kind of headphones used to play audio games, or listen to audio in general matters to me a lot. I've been using a Logitech h800 wireless headset for the last seven months and for many things it works great. For chatting on TeamTalk, TeamSpeak, or Skype, it is one of the best headsets I've used. The microphone quality is crystal clear and very few people complain about my audio. The headset is also very comfortable to wear and lasts for almost a full day on a charge.However, here is the big issue with it; games simply don't sound very good with it, neither does music. When comparing it side-by-side with my beats solo HD headphones, it clearly sounds much more compressed. I also have Sennheiser earbuds, which sound far better than the h800. However, wearing earbuds for hours can be uncomfortable. So, I think I'm going to get a gaming headset, like the G930, or the Gamecomm 788.

Re: Headphones
Re: Headphones @cw;So far, I haven't been too successful with the bone conducting headphones. First off, in my hands they feel well built and durable, they don't give me any impression of being fragile. But their use isn't intuitive, so far I have not been able to get them to pair up with anything, however; I suspect that that is more me not doing it right, rather than a defect with the headphones. The instructions that come with it are apparently mostly pictures or drawings with captions, because all I get when I scan them is fragments. The web site (http://www.ruidien.com) was even worse, it was totally inaccessible.My brother will be coming over to help me figure these things out. Normally I would just return them with the comment that the manufacturer needs to consider that some of their customers may be people with disabilities and that they need to make their products accessible to those customers, but after a long search, t hese headphones seem to be one of, if not the, best ones available, they had the highest customer rating, other than those with only one or two reviews.I'll let you know what I think of them after I've figured them out.

Re: Headphones
Re: Headphones I can understand why you want to get just one set, but you may find that this will not be the best option. The bone conduction, from what I can tell, will be good for GPS. On the other hand, if you get a hetset that sound good with music, you will find that they will most likely be good for audio games. You will find that you can not have both. The bone conduction is good when you want to hear a peace of audio, but hearing your surroundings is a must too. These headsets do not have the best audio out there seeing that anything you hear through them has to compete with your surroundings. A good headset may block out the surroundings and focus in on producing as good audio as it can. I also suggests that you try out different sets if you can. I picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD 380 Pro for lis tening to music and the like on. They have surved me pretty well. I picked them up a little over a year ago. I picked up the after shokz blues 2 around october and they sort of broke in november. I didn't get around to attempting filling out the year long protection thing until it was to late per say. Not seeing all the printed things on the head set that I needed to see had a part to play in to it. I really couldn't any one to read through some of the stuff until last January or February. HTH.

Re: Headphones or Audiophiles, anyone?
Re: Headphones or Audiophiles, anyone? My absolute serious headphones are a set of sanheisa momentums, which are amazing, but equally have a rather high price, I paid £220 for them reduced from £250, which is over 300 usd. The shop I go to, a rather nice local place called Richer sounds are quite okay with trying out multiple sets and even bringing your own devices. I liked the momentums because of the bace an trebble balance, sinse far too many have huge, over blown booming base and as you said hissing trebble, which is no good especially for something full on orchestral (I used several peaces to test including Duel of the fates, some of the turrican arranged soundtrack and Sensanes organ symphany).Sinse however it's neither practical nor cost effective to cart a set of huge, and very expensive headphones around with me for my iphone I use sanheisa earbuds, which compared to those of similar price (including apple ones), worked out the best in a £30 price range, though I'll also say sinse they need to take my Iphone, my victor stream and occasionally my laptop as well an apple specific brand wouldn't do.I don't have the model number for the sanheisa earbuds I use, but as I said they do the job when I'm out, even if they're not what I'd call high end.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? Thanks for mentioning the active noise cancellation. Yeah that was what I was thinking about. I just couldn't remember what it was called. Yeah it can be quite nice to use this feature while at home. But when traveling, I don't like if all sounds are blocked out.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? SLJ, you're thinking of active noise cancellation. This is sometimes confusing since microphones can also have noise cancellation so on a combined headset you need to check whether it's the headphones or the mic that has the cancellation. For sitting around at home at a desk I like the kind that blot out background noise, it lets me concentrate more on whatever I'm listening to whether it be a game, music or film/TV.I'm using a 5.1 Roccat Cave headset which I enjoy but I've never owned proper DJ level headphones so it probably isn't up to the quality that a true audiophile would expect. It doesn't have the most bass in the world but I find the way to get the best out of it is using the effects DSP plugin for foobar 2000, using IRE effects and setting it on "notch" instead of bass boost while also using the channel mixer plug in set to 6 channel. I also like having the media player's volume set a little low and then turning u p the volume with the dial on the desk unit since having the media player's own volume level high seems to make some kind of distortion. The other downsides to this headset are that it requires a 5.1 compatible sound device, though this is pretty common these days, and a USB port for power, plus you can't just plug it into another 3.5mm source should you wish to for any reason. That said my previous headphones were turtle beach X12s with the DSS2 processor and I like these headphones better, the surround gives a much fuller experience I find.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? Hi.this is a personal choice, but I'll vote for Bose. Bose have in-ear headphones, on-ear headphones and over-ear headphones.The in-ear sounds great in my opinion, but they simply brakes too early if you're using them while traveling.The over-ear headphones, well, that's again a personal choice, but I wouldn't recommend those. When using them on a train, in a buss or at other places, I think they block out too much sounds, so you can't hear what's happening around you. Oh by the way that's also what they are ment to do. Lol. I'm not sure, but I think the over-ear headphones are in two versions: Normal headphones and active headphones which are ment to block out all noise around you. As I'm typing this, I don't remember what this feature is called. The on-ear headphones are very nice in my opinion. They feels very soft on the ears, and you can wear those for very long time. You can hear what happens around you, which for me is very important while on the go.Both the on-ear and over-ear headphones are foldable so they don't fit much, and they come with a nice caring case.As others have said, I'll recommend you to visit a shop where you can try the different headphones to see what you like.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? O yeah that's a great way too, problem with that is the burn in period, which is much more your ear than the headphones, but it can be both especially with some Sennheiser wiring for instance.|Basically, your ear, especially with earbudds will suttly change shape, something you can feel going from one pair to another if you pay attention. This makes the sound change as you ware them, often it gets better as the fit becomes more exact, for some, other parts aren't as good, for instance, base with me, very, very few headphones sound basy after a while, even if they are quite basy at first and have the specs to prove it, which can suck because I really like things such as drumstep and hard dance.This burn in period can range from a few hours to almost a month, and as I said before, it's mostly your ear, your perception of the sound, and your visual cortex, which does allot more with audio than you may at first think.Either way get ting the chance to try in store is a good opertunaty, but it's hard to suggest it as the only way to get a good idea of it, because it will likely change later, for instance your screenreader may be horribly basy, or wierdly recessed and it may drive you crazy, or their could be a little steel wire type thing in that nice phoam head band that you didn't notice before digging into your scalp like a vishus little scalp garottte...Also some stores won't be so acomidating, nor quiet, but being able to listen to the types of things you listen to on a daily basis before hand is a big advantage for sure, one that shouldn't be passed up if the chance comes up.The VModa's for instance? for some unfathomable yet extremely useful reason, microsoft sells them at the microsoft store, even though they are clearly dj grade portable travel mon itors, so it's not hard to find them and try them their, and even if they don't have the model you want in stock, they can get it because they are a registered reseller, again, god only knows why, VModa doesn't mess around with dinky little stylish multicolored mobile device earbudds, and they are kind of a nitch brand too.Also I forgot to add audiotechnica to that list, for me, they are just below Sennheiser and sometimes they creep ahead on a few models.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? Bose I was not impressed with either, the difference even from my standard senheiser earbuds that I use for portability was staggering. I'd actually say the best way to choose a model is to go to a dedicated hifi shop, have a knolidge of what you want to pay and try them out with an audio track you personally know.A few months ago I bought myself the senheisa momentums as my best quality headphones. they were horribly expensive (nearly £250), but with senheiser you very much get what you pay for and after trying several different models and makes they still were a favourite. Plus of course from past experience, a Senheiser set of professional quality headphones will last me at least six years, possibly more. I also use a smaller set of senheiser earbuds as a portable pare. Not as good as the momentums naturally, but good enough for when I'm on the train etc with my Iphone.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? I don't suggest Bose for headphones, there's better, more accurate options, Bose are great for things like movies, classical music and some types of trans, and maybe mainstream video games, because sited people don't care as much about positioning and they just want the action, because Bose have allot of synthetic, muffled base, the sound stages very in width and depth but I never really thought that any of them I saw were ever that deep anyway, also the frequency ranges aren't that good, because they cover all of it up with that base and rumble.I don't know allot about pioneer, but what I'd suggest, in order of best to good, would be, VModa, Sennheiser, Sure, Soni.Those ones I give, I'm rating on durability, comfort, portability, and sound. I'm sure I missed a few but I haven't tried many more aside from those listed. and of course this all depends on how much you can pay and weather or not you can get it in your country. Some models will be better than others in those brands of course, especially Soni, and to a lesser degree Sennheiser, but not VModa, all of there's are great.The best thing you can do to get something you'll like is to look at the manufacturer and inthusiast websites such as HeadFI to see what models there are, and also big name article sites like tom's hardware, PCMag, Techradar, CNET, gearslutts, headphones.com, etc, then go look for reviews on the model you see by using the model name and number with google, on sites like amazon, youtube, again CNET, and also big reseller websites like Bestbuy, BandH, Newegg, Ebay, Tigerdirect, etc, which is also a good place to hunt for deals on the pair you like, and to find more specifications that other sites may not have. Also study up on terms you don't understand so you can be informed when you buy, either by looking up specific things, or looking at general beginner gui des, places like Wikipedia will usually have too much info, and dictionary sites won't have enough, so other sites are better but those can be used in a pinch.Don't be disheartened if you don't find what your looking for right away either, the more searching you do the more you'll like something that will probably be around for a few years, so it's worth it, take a break if it starts seeming hopeless, or you may accedentally just get frustrated and impulse buy something that you won't like when you get it.

Re: headphones. pioneer or bose?
Re: headphones. pioneer or bose? I haven't any experience with either brand but to be honest these frequency stats shouldn't make much difference just for audio games. If you intend to use them for other purposes such as listening to music, that's another matter.
