So I have had the Sound Blaster G6 for a few weeks and I use it for my PS4 as a replacement for the Astro mix amp and I have to say it was money well spent! Thank you all who suggested it for me. Im currently using with SHP9500s, DTT770s, and my newly purchased Fidelio X2hr headphones. While...

I'm still learning my G6. It's not super complicated but the instructions that come with it are not the clearest on how to use it. Sometimes I don't know when I'm in direct mode or not. Sometimes it's a solid white ring and sometimes it's blinking seems to change based on if I have it plugged...

Excellent! And thank you for taking the time to answer!

Thank you for always being cool and willing to help us less informed members out!! If you have a chance could you possibly help me out with a few settings for the G6? The instructions are a bit vague (For me at least). I'm trying to figure out when it is in direct mode. The led light goes from...

Thanks!!

Well, I bit the bullet and bought the G6 sound blaster for my PS4/music listening. It's on sale for $129.00 right now on amazon. I'll be switching this for my Astro mix amp. (I have both the older orange bottom version and the crappy VSS sounding to me at least, TR edition.) I'll be using my...

Oh, I thought it did. Doh! well thanks for the info. I didnt think the controller had a very good dac inside to use it that way.

Quick math question: Would PS4 pro+ optical to fio e10k+ fio e12+ 80 ohm DT770s or Vokyl Erupt headphones =Winning? Or is that over kill or would that not all connect? Would anyone be so kind as to help this poor ignorant soul out so that I don't waste my money lol. I already own the fio e12...

While I can't say that I am anywhere near an audiophile, I own the DT770 and find them more fun and have some good bass. Not booming bass but enough for me to enjoy single player and listening to music. I have no information on the akg 702s.

While on the subject, I do have both versions of the Mix amp the older one with orange bottom and the TR edition. The TR edition's SS sounds so tinny. Does anyone know if there is any settings to help with that or is it just the way they made it? the older one sounds better, but it's on it's...

Thank you so much for your input as well!

Awesome thank you so much for your information!

Thank you so much and if I could ask one more follow-up question to that . Would it make a significant difference whether it's using an optical cable to a DAC amp or if I use a portable DAC amp that can plug into the controller directly? I'm guessing the optical cable would be ideal?

Possible dumb questions so I apologize in advance. Will using a Dac/amp for PS4 make the sound any better than it would from the controller, Not just louder sound, but the quality of sound. Say im using dt770s headphones with a dac/amp. Is it going to make the sound any clearer or will I be...

Quick vocal erupt headphone first impressions: they sound really good with the default pads which are not the same ones they used for the Prototype. The solid pads are horrendous sounding and just muffles everything the wires they used are thin and cheap and both set of wires have volume rockers...

Hey everybody, I am member 216 for the crowd funded headphones Vokyl Erupts . I just received mine yesterday. I am going to be making some videos about them (I'm not an audiophile) just to show those who are waiting for theirs to come in what they look like in the wild. (I paid for mine, not...

Yes! Thank you for translating what I was saying to myself to know that what you said was what I was looking for! Thank you!!

Im sorry if this has already been asked. I have the fio e12 and Dt770s 80ohm will putting the fio e12 on the 16 setting be okay for these headphomes ie: damage them? or should I stay on the 0 setting? thanks so much.

Oh, I had to sell like 3 headphones to get the DT770s lol. I have a little left over and was just wanting to upgrade my sound/ not have to use my mix amp if there was a decent benefit of using a dac\amp combo... If someone would by my ultra rare pink and white hyper x clouds 2 on ebay I would...

Can soneone please help save me from wasting my money? I have the dt770s 80ohm coming in. I have a PS4 and a mix amp and also have FIO E12 amp. My question is, would buying a dac\amp combo make any benificial sound difference than the mixamp\E12 that I am currently using? I dont need chat and...

Been eyeballing the DT 770 PROS 80 ohms. Lately, looking for a nice pair of closed back headphones that sound good for rock/metal music, but also fun immersive gaming (Not first person shooters) Ive had the dt990s but never had a good enough amp to really hear what they can do. Ive got a fio...

Thanks!! Ill check um out!

Haha no worries. We all do it once in a while lol. Yea i have the mixamp and the fio e12 amp. Also have the lgg7 phone that has a pretty sweet dac in it too. Ive had my heart set on the X2s but then started watching stuff on HE 400s and Planar headphones. I just didn't want to limit myself to...

I have $300 and want to buy headphones for fun immersive PS4 console gaming. (I dont play FSP online but will play campaign mode so would still be nice to have some fun wizzing bullet sounds while playing) and for listening to rock music ( Skillet, Shinedown, old school metallica, ect..) I have...

Hey guys and gals. Thought this might be a good place to ask. Do you think the original Phillips SHP9500s will eventually go for a higher price now that they don't make them that way anymore? Also Do you think the pink and white edition Hyper x Clouds 2 with box and all accessories will ever be...
