Here is the screen I have:       Anyone have any default good settings for these 3 settings? I listen to a lot of rap, play CS GO and league of legends, and I feel like it isn't bassy enough atm.

I have a question about the volume. If I want let's say 70% of the volume, do I set my phone to 70% volume, and then just adjust the amp to a good level, or do I have my phone on 100%? What is a good balance between the two...

Alright thanks man for all the help. I will probably do the DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm with the soundblaster Z. Should I get the newest Soundblaster Z (the red one) or the older one (non red)? And in the future I will probably grab a Fiio E11 for portable use.

Also my friend is a manager at bestbuy and he can get me a discount, so that's why I'm interested in the soundblaster Z since I can get it for $20.

Music and gaming primarily. Not so much gaming though because I mainly play WoW with no sound, usually with music in the background, or a livestream on another monitor.

I was loohing at your profile as well, and I noticed the O2 amp. Would you recomend that and a sound card? I can probably fit that into my budget.

Would I actually notice a difference between the Sound Blaster Z and the magni combo though? Or would only people like you who are experienced notice the difference.

So I need some recommendations for a DT 880 Pro 250ohm. I'm thinking about getting the Magni and a Xonar DGX to drive the headphones I'm getting. Would this work? What would be the most cost effective solution to drive my headphones?

250 + whatever the sound card costs.

Quote: My friend said the a900x's don't have the great of mid... He said they are more bassy.... Is it the case, and will I really notice the difference or is he wrong? If I was to go more towards the $250 range, what else could that ge t me?

Quote: The soundcard you linked should be able to drive the audio technica's? How is the comfortability on them? Would you recommend Beyer's over the audio technica's if I was able to drive them?

Title says all. Im thinking I probably need closed cans, but then again I mainly use them in my room, so perhaps open could work. I've looked at a couple like the 250 ohm beyer's that people post a lot. Any recommendations for closed/open that would really blow me away in sound quality. I...
