Yeaaaaa

If i were to buy an o2 combo again, I'd get the rear power & 1/4" plug version.

They both are the same quality, Just ease of use.

damn thats some expensive equipment

ur headphones better be at least double the price....



Actually the o2 combo is considered quite cheap for what it is. It holds its own against amps & dacs multiple times its cost.
And the first one he linked was Just the amp, The second one @ 350 is the amp & dac in one.

why does everyone think price makes the sound??



Because to a certain degree price = quality.

I really love my fischer clones :o

@ underline

you can mod your current

@bolded

audio has plateaued off on quality vs price after couple hundred dollars you hit the plateau (this is why the o2 was created), maybe in 70-90s

I know i can mod them, But its really not worth the hassle now. It'd be a bit of work to swap the power to the rear & etc.

Looking for headphones ~50-100, lower the better but if I need to spend 100 I can, I read the front page just curious if those are still the best option.. and of course Canada. :(

I was using my shitty ps4 headset, but the cushions on the earpads just hurt.

I'm guessing closed as my girlfriend doesn't want to hear any sound main reason for them, as I use my speakers and it's to loud for her at night

you should make her louder than your speakers so she never complains again.

I'm not sure about old av headsets. but new gaming headsets can be okay, *****but you can find much better quality when looking for studio or professonal headsets over gaming****. but the first page post is wrong about how gaming headsets work today. They use smart programing to create sound ques at specific locations. For example u only have 2 ears but can hear in 3 dimensions *i.e u can tell where something is by hearing it on most occasions* they create the same type of effects with sound ambiance. (this is described well from turtle beach here https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xRGYg1tGF-8)

I bought a Logitech g930 for my cousin and besides Logitech fail drivers (literally they all crackle unless u revert to a driver from may 2013 in left and right channel) but after that i was actually impressed in the sound quality. I work from home, and i don't actually prefer The surround sound experience. If your looking for Recommendations i can't give many because i don't think the average person goes through a lot of 100$ headsets each year to give you real life experience on each.

My best advice is find the ones your interested in your price range then head to their tech support forums, you'll get a instant view of the companies return policies and current issues with the product. Because if you see that say, 100 posts of same problem but no real solutions from the staff or in a sticky. that means odds are out of the box your headset is gonna have that problem too.

Could mean a lot of things, turn up speakers, bang her so hard she moans or stab her with a machete till she dies and while stabbing her she's screaming over the speakers, either way she gets to scream. :O

Win/Win, if the cops show up, I'm telling them to go to le Quebec

e/ Thanks Tokin, going to wait to see what the master of sound (Rikuo) suggests, I know I don't need a mic, as my Zalman clip on is fantastic, I bought ~10 of them and told my friends not to buy the shitty headsets one as the mics always crackle and the Zalman I usually have it on my table/desk and they can hear me talk from that distance.

you should only make sure she's going to be alive when she's going to be near you when you're using your speakers so you can say she was louder, lmao
