don't find the purpose of this thread.
you can even stax omega or senn orpheus for gaming if you rich enough , stick to what you have.

of course "gaming" headphone is a piece of crap compare with any audiophile brand cans.

what mikelanding said is true... kekeke...
get your A900 pair with hmmm at least zero dac with built in amp , compare with the SS ,
things will be more amazing , keke....

oh ya , your A900 still new , need to "burn-in" at least for few hundreds hours... deep base will come , not only ah beng "strong" bass.

hmm
not trying to argue,
how can you said audiophile cans cant compare with gaming headsets , yet all cans using 2 drivers.
so can I compare beyer mmx300 "gaming" cans with 5hv2 ? if you don't mind the price keke....


seriously , doing a headphone review is hard.
you need an amp , at least a decent one even theres no need amp to drive (e.g ATH-A series ).
A decent DAC ,
well , x-fi sound cards all are crap , how can i describe it , internal dac made the sound stage been "sealed" in a box.

Do common "gaming" cans like siberia dead easily ? I mean the drivers dead.
which is better among with the "5.1 surround". stereo driver for fps game is abit hard for me, need to guess whether front/rear left or right

hope get beyer mmx300 but toooo expensive.

hmm.... i think the x-fi xtreme gamer is enough for its built in DAC...

isnt it the "center unit" is the DAC to process 7.1 ?

why those product keep label WoW or what what what one ?
so nice meh ?

based on teh product image,
it doesn't have its own 7.1 decoder, now sure how its work.
of course you need a sound card to power it properly
buy megalodon lah with the money to buy g35

Just get the x-fi if you're on budget
good luck taking care on ur A500 lah...
the Epi leather so easy to peel off even u not using for 1 - 2 years.
now my A500 like "semi-open" can liao.... my leather all torn...
the bass is... but sound airy

haha... now you only know ka ?
If comparing Siberia neckband vs ATH-A500.
the price almost same.
while ATH-A500 totally own the neckband in terms of comfort,audio quality and sound stage.

budget depends bro...
Rm400 - ATH- A/AD500
Rm520 - ATH-A/AD700
Rm820 - ATH-A/AD900
from walabies

I'm also keen to hear the "virtual surround sound".
Hehe... get BeyerDynamic Gamezone headphone if want to serious + pure gaming.
That one is the real surround which the decoder cost thousands.
I'm also into pure gaming nowadays, but I decided from purchasing megalodon to ath-A900.

Beyerdynamic "gamezone" headphone

fiio E5 headphone amp
cheap. Rm80 only.

I think he need something portable one.

nope.
if want to get ath just get A/AD/W/L lah...
others series like M... dont know for what.

Agreed.
which A series kicking open headphone can ?

quote from old post.
yes, if originally using leather pads and changed to cotton pads,
the sound signature change a lot.
Bass weaker, the detail sound softer. but sound is airy

I've tested it befoe... the ear band pressure is not strong right ?

depends the game how to render the sound.
even i in cc use avf rm30 also can hear where are the people walking in a certain distance.
