how does chimaera compare to corsair hs1 usb? I saw the corsair review at hardocp is impressive, especially its surround system, but i scare te music listening experience will be kinda lousy..
seriously i am eyeing on this corsair hs1 headset, the price kinda nice and i saw good reviews out there, but i hardly see any of u speaking about it >< Looking for a decent replacement for my piranha which is kinda headache and stupid to use for long time, lousy design pfft.. i need good music yet can do well in gaming especially in direction sounding..

QUOTE(cyh03176 @ Feb 17 2012, 05:40 PM) no problem, mate so not much gaming headset can compare with audiophile headset? Cos i am looking for wireless one.. ><i suggest you get an audiophile headset instead as sound positioning is not a concern in those games and you can listen to all ranges of sound in those games too you can try turtle beach z2, creative Fatal1ty gaming audio headset, creative Fatal1ty professional series gaming headset Mk II, Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Alpha THX Gaming Headset, Creative Draco HS850 Gaming Headset it depends on your game genres. seriously, gaming headset will only helps in FPS genre |

QUOTE(xandman @ Feb 20 2012, 09:31 PM) Just bought Chimaera 5.1....AGAIN! no budget >< i using T-muso DAC, cheap thingy but i can totally hear the difference, good separation and better sounding vocal This time it's from braddah MODERNO! It is still charging. But so far everything is working as expected. Hope it is worth the moneh! Added on February 20, 2012, 9:37 pm if u have the $$$ with Beyer...u can try DACport... its not a gaming soundcard... but it's an audiophile DAC... i m using it with my beyer DT1350.... It's better than a multi speaker headphone! Or if budget is limited u can try iBasso D6 and use the DAC+amp part... How is the chimera? Nice sound? Cos last time i use razer piranha, the sound is ok for me, just that the high isnt as good as ksc75 This post has been edited by ben3003: Feb 21 2012, 11:07 AM |

music only have 2 channel, unless u listen to BD live concert music.. so it will be horrendous.. for me, i think if music u use virtual surround, it will be like the vocal is very thin, but the instruments all come out, very diferrent.. maybe u listen to orchestra then u can use it

for ps3 and pc i think pulse is a good thing, they said the music quality is decent. the best part is it is wireless. especially u don need to have long cable to route from ur ps3 to ur couch, unless u are playing on the desk same level with pc then u might can get some decent audiophile grade headphone like ath ad700. but better u go and try out before u buy, pulse some ppl say not quite comfy, some say good enuf, depends on ur head size i believe.

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 26 2013, 07:10 PM) Sony Pulse Elite is a decent choice. I've previously tested it for quite a while and IMO, the price you pay for it it is pretty impressive. ok so it is not a good headphone if using it wirelessly? i plan to use it wirelessly cos u know running cable whil playing ps3 on couch is very messy to begin with. then what are the better choice if going for wireless option?The Pulse is rather warm, but bass isn't something that is really that emphasized given that this is a closed headset. It's in fact very rolled off and it's surprising because I expected some extension in the mid-bass, but it is shy in this department. Don't be mistaken by its bass impact technology, which is pretty gimmicky and actually does more hurt to the audio quality than help it. Keeping it at a subtle 3rd or 4th notch is the most I'd recommend anyone should have on it, otherwise... keep it off. Also, the Pulse is a pretty weird headset on its own. As in on the PS3, without a DAC the Pulse has trouble driving itself wirelessly. I think it is Sony's design to keep volume levels at a minimum because the battery in the Pulse is downright piss-poor. I only managed to squeeze out 4 hours 20 minutes of use from it at max volume (it's needed, because anything lower than 80% volume and details on the mids suffer like hell) and bass impact disabled. Speaking of the battery, there are numerous reports of it just dying and refusing to charge. It happened to me in fact. Just a note. So why am I still saying the Pulse is a decent choice then? Well, the saving grace is that it can be wired using a standard 3.5mm cable. Connecting it to a TB DSS/Astro Mixamp for the PS3 and using it wired pretty much changed the ENTIRE Pulse from a poor headset into something that is actually very enjoyable. A low-end DAC/amp like a TB DSS managed to give the Pulse more than enough volume for one, it brought out some life in the bass and the mids actually has details that was missing when using it wirelessly. This goes hand in hand when using it on a PC, connecting the Pulse in wired mode directly to my soundcard was a waaaaay better experience than using it wirelessly. I can tell you, it's like 2 different headsets when the Pulse is compared wired or wirelessly. Comfort wise, I don't have much issue with the pleather earpads. It's not memory foam though, so it will take a while to conform to your head. What I don't like is the stupid 2-piece design on the headband, too little padding and it will irk anyone who is bald or have short hair. The weight of the Pulse is surprisingly light however (289g), much lighter than many wired headsets/headphones in fact. AD700s are bad for almost any type of music IMO. Waaaaaay too bass shy. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 27 2013, 05:12 PM) Not to say it isn't good (after all, it's only RM400) but its potential is locked away when being used wirelessly. oh ok.. so wat kind of cable is actually dangle free? if i have to use it wired then i have to buy DSS, but with the price of DSS+pulse, wat kind of alternative am i looking at?I don't see the problem running a cable from the PS3 to the couch, I do that actually. Just get a 10 foot (or however long it is your PS3 is from the couch) and go from there. Get a tangle free cable if you're annoyed with tangling. Honestly, at RM400.. there's really no headset being able to beat the Sony Pulse, wirelessly that is. ok, i saw Heavyarm are still selling them tho.. with the DSS can i actually use the mic on the headphones? or just for the audio out? |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 28 2013, 02:12 PM) No, the DSS doesn't have an input for mic in. Only the Creative Recon3D and Astro Mixamps have that. oh ok. clip-on earpiece? u mean like a clip on shirt handsfree but u don use it earpiece? can give some example? I use a bluetooth clip-on earpiece for chat though, since you can output voice audio to headphones or speakers. It's a much better alternative IMO because then I don't need to meddle with a long mic. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 28 2013, 06:19 PM) Do you absolutely need to try the PC350 though? As in, do you really only want to have a closed headset? If not, the PC360 is a good alternative choice. bro i wanna ask about this bluetooth headset, if i only use the mic, will the voice from other ppl coming out from the speaker/headphone/audio out or it will only come out from the bluetooth headset?A lot more bass shy than the PC350 however, but the mids are more detailed and the highs aren't as fatiguing. Most importantly, it's much more comfortable than the PC350 IMO. The downside is that it is an open headset, so sound can leak out and you're not totally isolated from outside noise. Yup, I use this - http://www.itechdynamic.com/Clip-II-mini-6...nproduct/view/7 Dolby Headphones aren't for everyone, I personally can't live without it. I use it on all games and IMO it improves positional cues for every game I've used it with. Try it out, if you don't like it you can always disable it. and for pulse headset, if i route it using cable to my DAC then the mic cannot use anymore?
