Headphone FAQ

-Thinking of getting Audio Technica AD700, do I need a sound card? Currently using onboard sound (MSI Z77A).

-Should I wait for it to dip below $100? In other words how frequently does it get a sale. I hear it can go for as low as $70ish.

Thanks, what does #1 mean though? The Xonar DG seems to get paired with this headset a lot from what I've read, seems the headphone amp helps with AD700's lack of bass (and in general).

My HD429s improved with a xonar DG. You don't 'need' a sound card, but it can help. It depends on whether the sound built in to your motherbooard is good or not and how bothered you are about it. Xonar DG also has an equaliser so you could up the bass a bit if you wanted.kraken2109

xonar dg w/external amp :) I wonder how much better is an stx or essence.

Am auditioning the Paradox headphones by LFF at the moment. Great pair of headphones.

So I really like the Beyerdynamics headphones, and am wondering whats top notch for 200-400? I need a new headset for my build.....Especially being I want true 5.1 or 7.1!

Just recieved my Paradox:D

Has anyone tried the sync by 50 wireless headphones? Also where is a good place to buy headphones in Canada? All the stores I see just sell crap.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"] Why do you want wireless headphones?kraken2109

Because I do?

I'm aware wireless cost more, but when I buy wired headphones I will be spending 1k+ and I don't feel like doing that currently and need wireless ones.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"] Just wondering if you were aware how much more expensive they are for the quality. i.e. £100 wired will beat £300 wireless.Wolfetan

Most likely, but I don't feel like buying them right this second. Looking for wireless for now as a temp thing.

well I am in a markey for a new headset. Looking for a premium headset for games, music and movies but primarily games like battlefield 4. 

Any suggestions? Razer Tiamat 7.1 has kind of failed me.
