[QUOTE=404 error;32403467]Looking at the "Go Mic" it doesn't say what modes it has, Also where do you have yours setup? On your desk, Laptop or what?[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/5U7W[/img] An $18 boom arm attached to a $2 desk microphone mount with a home made pop filter, I use Cardioid with a -10dB pad, the modes are: -10 dB pad Cardioid, Omni, and just Cardoid. You can literally just clip it anywhere that it'll fit though, it's awesome. [editline]20th September 2011[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/5U9c[/img] It screws on at the base, there, and the headphones and USB connection go there. [img]http://puu.sh/5U9m[/img] you can just set it there like that [img]http://puu.sh/5U9p[/img] or clip it on just about anything, it only opens to about a 1.5 cm wide, though. [editline]20th September 2011[/editline] honestly for $100, there's probably stuff in Australia more reasonably priced.

Thread what is this? Serious it's not, lock it will
Hello! I'm looking for a great headphone, my previous one was a Sennheiser HD202, but now I'm looking for a more (better) expensive one. I often listen to music (60% of the time), which is some rock/pop music (prefer great bass). I also want to game (40%) with it (prefer surround) and be able to talk with my friends through a microphone on the headphone. I have a integrated sound card on my MSI P67a GD65 B3, I don't know if it's worth upgrading . I've already looked around, and I saw the "Creative Tactic 3D Sigma", but I don't really know what you guys think of that card... My budget is around €70-80, I can use Ebay, and I live in The Netherlands, I btw prefer some over ear and closed headphones. Thanks for any help, I will hear it if you need more information :).
Finally ordered some AD700s with an Asus Xonar DG soundcard \:v:/
If money is no concern, are the Logitech 600vi's good? I'm looking for in-ear, with a sleek inline remote and volume control(like apple earbuds) [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] And are they durable enough to be used around campus?
Budget - 75$, although I would prefer using only 40-50$ Ebay - Sure Country - US of A Isolation - Closed Purpose - 90% music, 10% movies Musical tastes - Rap, electronic, indie rock (going off my last.fm tag cloud) It'll be nice if it had a case, so I don't break them at school or something
I've been doing some research, and [url=http://www.head-fi.org/products/panasonic-rp-htf600-s-step-monitor]these[/url] look really nice.
Updated the OP as I said I would do in May when I made the thread, sorry it took so long. Hopefully it's an improvement over the previous. (It's cleaner at least)
Budget: $100ish eBay: possibly Country:USA Isolation: Earbuds Purpose: Casual listening on train and around campus Music Tastes: soundtracks, facepunch collabs, ambient electronica, rock Previous Experiences: iPhone earbuds Comments: Leaning towards Logitech UE 600vi
Budget: $1-$60 eBay: No, thank you. Country: United States Isolation: Preferably isloated Purpose: Music, video games, movies and conversation Music Tastes: Shoegaze, Post-Rock, House... all sorts of but mostly very layered music Previous Experiences: iPhone headsets and cheaper alternatives and some Logitech speakers and headsets Comments:Washington state produces more apples than any other state in the union.
Recently came upon the KRK 6400 [img]http://www.krksys.com/images/products/headphones/6400-lg-1.png[/img] Bought them instead of the Shure SRH750DJ and I can't say that I am disappointed. Really detailed sound, REALLY AWESOME highs and mids, but lacking in powerful bass, however it's there when it needs to be. If you are looking for a neutral-sounding headphone under 120$, these should definitely be considered. Good thread on these: [url]http://www.head-fi.org/t/560605/krk-kns-6400-review-impressive-99-giant-killer[/url] Listening to Daft Punk on these is truly like walking on clouds, it sounds so good

Okay, going off topic a bit but I ditched new headphones for a 5.1 Surround system instead: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LBHFMO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=1NHJRGGJ33AYX132NDN1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294[/url] However, I need a 5.1 sound card... £30 at most but around 20 would be better.

Recently (today I believe) there's been a somewhat "static" in my headphones when using them at my computer. It's really noticable at about 50% volume, almost a low boopppppppppppp with static. Any idea what this is or how to get rid of it? Last week I installed a Xonar DG
Budget:$40 eBay:Not an option. Country:Canada. Isolation:I want to be the only one to hear it when its fairly loud. Purpose:Listening to music, playing games Music Tastes:Metal, Techno, Dubstep, Classical. Comments:I will primarily be using these to listen to music, and at a fairly loud level.

What are your opinions on wireless headphones? I go through so many headphones because of cables wearing out, I would fork out around $200 for a pair of sturdy wireless headphones. Comfortable headphones is a big plus.
Not sure if it's a pricing error or knock-off merchandise, but wow: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Radiopaq-Custom-Tuned-Pop-Earphones/dp/B0022NHI30/ref=lh_ni_t[/url] Just ordered a pair for myself. Based off trying my brother's pair and head-fi opinions, they are more than worth even the full RRP.
I think I have a shape problem with my ears. No matter which headphones I use, after 5 minutes my right ear starts to sting and hurt like hell. I tried cheap headphones, and expensive ones. Am I just unfortunate?

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;32470562]If you're using front audio, don't[/QUOTE]I'm not, it seems like it's the card is fucked in some way. I also noticed my mic doesn't like to work when plugged into the xonar dg. I'm getting it RMA'd from Amazon. It didn't start out doing this
where can i get mdr-v6 for cheap

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32480218]I never understood those: if you buy those, why not put a real bullet into your head, instead?[/QUOTE] They look nice. But I am pretty sure I can buy a box of 9mm ammo for less. EDIT: 500 plus rounds for that price: [url]http://www.luckygunner.com/9mm-115-gr-fmj-wolf-wpa-mc-50-round[/url]
