Nah, the bass is real good after some tweaking at the audio panel. As for the earcup padding, they wouldn't cause pain, just the weight will cause slight pain after long duration of usage.

get X-FI sound card, and some tweaking... TADA! you will feel your face shaking

thanks for the download link. i am using Vista 64bit, so i assume K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit is for me right?

don't know what kind of soundcard since i am using my laptop. thanks god my laptop have all 4 jack plug.

for audio driver, i am using SRS Labs of Audio Sandbox. seriously i am still newbie in high-end headphone like this.

i really appeciate all your tips    

thanks for the link. i already download and install it.

i tried to set like you shown (Media Player Classic > Option > Audio Switcher > Enable Custom Channel Mapping > 3) and play .mp3 @ 320 kbps + SRS Audio Sandbox ON + Desk EQ 100/100/100/100 Game Mode. yet, still no vibration at all.

is there any basic setting that needed to tweak which i might forgotten?
done, but still negative.

/do you have any recommendation of good Sound Driver?
