QUOTE(simtesheng @ Jun 29 2012, 08:10 PM) What soundcard do you have, or are you using onboard? Gaming headsets/phones are mainly considered to be marketing gimmicks eg. "true" 5.1 surround sound: http://www.google.com.my/search?q=AKG+K550...iw=1920&bih=950http://www.overclock.net/t/871864/are-5-1-...s#post_11395810For a soundcard Asus Xonar DG is good, can power headphones up to 150-ohm(works ok with 250-ohm) and has Dolby Headphone(which is basically emulated surround sound,, but more powerful than most gaming headsets I think) For headphones, Samson SR850 is very widely recommended for gaming, and is RM150. Hope this helped  Thanks for your advice. Guess I will not waste my money on 5.1 headsets then.  Yes, am using onboard sound. I read a review here in LYN saying the Samson SR850 pad causes sweat after awhile. Any ways to solve that? |

QUOTE(simtesheng @ Jun 29 2012, 10:00 PM) Hmm, I'm going to Germany in end of July, might be able to get some AKG240 Velour pads which fit the SR850. http://www.thomann.de/gb/akg_k240270271_ve..._ohrpolster.htm If you're willing to wait that long and I have enough time to get them. DT770 pads also fit apparently. Am not kidding when I say I duno much about headphones ... cos I dun think I know where I can buy the DT770 pads ...  any suggestions? I read some reviews on the SR850 n most are positive reviews. Guess i will be getting that. But have to solve the pad issue 1st ... This post has been edited by maggi_man: Jun 29 2012, 10:52 PM |
