QUOTE(ben3003 @ Dec 29 2013, 04:18 PM) wireless, decent sound. plug and play for console, for pc, no need fiddle with much settings, comfy. Most important factor would be wireless. Some ppl have money to burn, they have their own audiophile headset for audio listening purpose, while a50 for gaming. yea. simple and good is enoughImportant is whether u got the money to burn or not. no money to burn normally go for value buy, got money go for whatever that is expensive, even with marginal improvement and pay extra for stuffs like wireless, ANC, bla bla. when u buy 1k+ audiophile headset, u need to buy DAC la, head amp to drive it la, alot of things u need to fiddle with. Not everyone wanna fiddle with so many config. |

Any of you tried the steelseries elite?
Is it a joke or worth the RM700+ price tag? |

QUOTE(Skidd Chung @ Dec 29 2013, 05:56 PM) Holy crap! 700 bucks for a steelseries? yeah, RM700+ for their BEST headset! Can't wait for Head-fi to get a crack at it. Maybe steelseries has something on their hands that they think can command such monies. I'm looking for a headphone too, but definitely not the Steelseries Elite. Looking at V-Moda Crossfade LP and Audio Technica ATH M50 but still haven't decided yet |

QUOTE(kwbaka @ Dec 29 2013, 11:31 PM) Depends what platforms are you gaming with. Astro A50 is made more for the console gaming experience. It is also wireless so there is no need to sit near the tv to game. The mix amp provided is to provide surround sound simulation, similar to what PC soundcards do. However on PC gaming, there is a reason people prefer audiophile grade headphones. In the end, as long as you are happy with your sound and equipment. |

How much did you buy your ATH-a700 closed headphones? dunno bout the vmoda crossfade but the is a version 2 for that. and Where did you test them out? I'm looking for a retail shop in PJ/KL area that has vmoda or audio technica headphones for us to test. |

The A50 is a horrible headset for the price. Too much emphasis on the low end, the mids are drowned and there's zero sparkle on the treble.
Soundstage is subpar and instruments seperation is just barely passable. Not to burst any A50 owner's bubbles, but for the amount of money paid for it... you're not paying for sound quality, but for features instead. I still honestly think it's overpriced even for the features alone. |

QUOTE(Yagami5159 @ Dec 30 2013, 10:22 AM) Yeah normally higher than online retailers. But the good thing is U get to test it with diff amps and see how the sound with different types of song.Also the items you bought can b tested first so peace of mind is there. In SG items are priced higher than online as well but it is a norm there if you need their warranty service. And it is always nice to test a few headphones of the same price range to see how all of them compared. |
