Ok i finally got to try out my DS7000, charged it up real good while i was playing futsal, hehe. I'm not much of an audiophile to be giving an in depth review, but all i can say is that, i've been missing out, BIG TIME!! and coming from only using the TV speakers, its a world of difference. Tried it out on GT5P demo, MGS4, and Live Free or Die Hard tunnel scene(the only blu ray i got from the recommended list, hehe). Obviously i could now hear stuff coming from all over, I'm also hearing a lot more sounds that i never knew existed before. Sound quality is pretty clean with no crackling and no hissing sound or anything. Before sounding more like a fool with my lack of experience in reviewing audio products, I'll just sum it up as it being a whole new experience for me and i dont regret spending the RM1000, hehe.

I am also proud to announce that the headphones passed the jamban test, no change in sound quality behind closed doors of the toilet. Now i can do my business while listening to some Rock and Roll!!! YEAAAHHH. There are no interference from my 802.11b wireless AP too, hehe, sound did start to crack at about 15-20 metres away from the decoder going through a couple walls. Lost signal completely around 20+ metres. Hopefully K-end could give a better review since mine is not exactly informative, hehe.

For the items I've bolded in your post, then I can safely say my job is done. That is the reason why I wanted others to experience this, and to hear you actually hearing the differences, makes my day.

Just take it easy while on the crapper, okay? We dont want you fishing out the headphones out of the "floating brown logs" inside the bowl!

Phew..just arrive at office.

haha...Im also not an audiophile to give a in-depth review and since this is my first headset(and cost a bomb too), it might sound like a little bit bias.

Oh yeah, since i just arrive & office and must settle some works first..i'll give the longer first impression review about the headphone during lunch hour.

in the mean time, i can summarized the whole thing into 1 sentance:

OMGWTFBBQWALAUWEIMANTAPSIUTIMMAGONNAPEEINMYPANTS!!!!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneoneleven11111!!!!!!

Hope you still have the impressions in your mind by the time of lunch.

PhoenixByte, kawaii Japanese girls are all captured on the XActi HD camcorder, I'll have to do frame captures to get it as a picture. Posting HiDef videos here would take forever, with TMNet's crappy service.

Noooooo!!!!!

The impression is still fresh in my mind

.

As GabanKing said before, the sound that come out from TV and this headphone is like heaven & earth. The sound were crisp, crystal clear & no hissing or whatsoever. Sound interuption from the outside is nearly nonextistant and im totally in my own world if using this headphone. I think playing games war with the volume set to 10 will surely make your ear deft in no time

I tried out MGS4 last night and watch the last cutscene Snake with Big Boss and i was 100% shocked with the result. I can hear the sound of tree & grass swaying all the time

. Something i couldnt hear on normal TV or LCD Tv standard speaker. Well, it argueable that you still can hear the sound by turn up the volume but that will definitely disturb your parent/sibling/neighbour

. i never tried to play MGS4 yet but given by the impression by the cutscene itself, i bet the first Act of MGS4 will definitely blow me away. Will try this one later when i get back home

as for the Rock Band, the song in the game seem like Audio CD-quality but that not the best part. The best part is, when playing Rock Band, the song played was quite loud and you cant barely hear the mistake 'click' sound. Im talking about simple mistake like missout 1 or 2 notes where the music wont turn down. Yes, i can hear the 'click' sound during that moment

As for movie, i only have Spiderman 3 which dont have any great sequence to test out the headphone

it's a two thumbs up for this headphone

(make it four along with my 2 feet

)

the only drawback using headphone is....you ear will feel so hot after wearing it for a long time

. haha.. it's a normal headphone syndrom

Excellent! With that impression and Gaban's own, my work here is done.

Next time I see you guys online, I know both of you are rocking it

-style!

As for the Pioneer SE-DIR800C, it has already exchange hands. Congratulations to Shaft111, I hope you have as much fun as I have when I had it.

Right, Gaban and K-End has already given their impressions, I have compiled mine on the DRS3000C in the Audiophile section, and the DIR800C has found a new master. Osaka Tumpang Thread is complete, until the next Tumpang thread (Paris Edition coming 22nd & Frankfurt Edition on the 29th, possibly NYC next month), sayonara!

Yeah it can get kinda hot around the ear, but its still comfortable enough to wear for a few hours straight. Now all i need is to attach a buzzer or something to my forehead so that my mom could call me down for dinner.

And yeah stringfellow, im rocking it while i surf the web now, streaming mp3s to my PS3 using tversity, hehe. Using the sixaxis to change songs too, hehe.

Well thanks to you poisoning my mind with your ravings on dolby headphones and theit virtues i am now indeed a proud owner of one. Seriously i have always been a little skeptical about surround headphones as i view them to be a little gimmicky.But after spending a little time with it iam truly converted. The clarity and immersion is astounding and while the surruond sound cannot surpass an actual 5.1 or 7.1 setup it is believable enough and more than serves its purpose of enjoying your BD's and games late at night without the nieghbours complaining.
And it is pleasure meeting you in person.

Awesome! Now, if only we can somehow get someone to youtube it while one of you rocked it out to Guitar Hero/Rock Band while wearing those.

Glad it worked for you. Sorry for the mix-up earlier on regarding the batteries, I feel sheepishly stupid.

Pleasure to meet you too.

the first reason why i want headphone for my PS3

oh yeah, try out MGS4 Act 1 last night. The result were superb especially when the UAV start to do a bombing run. I feel like i was in that particular battlefield *stress meter raise*. not to mention the sound of bullet passing through my ear.

Damn... this thread is getting more poisonous... I've started to regret not asking Stringfellow to help buy me the DS7000. Somebody please close this thread!
