I'm wanting to use these for gaming and I have the old Astro Mixamp 5.8. I plan on amping these in the future but until then, does anyone know if these will sound ok with just the Mixamp 5.8?

Spur22No idea about mixamp but 58x is not particularly hard to drive. I personally don't have issues even running it off my phone (OP5). Unless you tend to listen to incredibly high sound levels you should be fine

Oct 4, 2018

Spur22The Mixamp 5.8 actually has a slightly stronger amp than the wired mixamp. Double amping (putting a nice amp between the Mixamp and HD 58x) should improve the sound quality, but you should have decent loudness and noticably improved quality over an Astro headset.
I’ve got an old 5.8 in my closet and I’d test out the combo for you, except I’ve gotta pack bags and fly out to Colorado tomorrow.

EvshrugThanks, yeah I ditched the Astro headset on day one and have been using the Mixamp with PC360's. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 58x so I will find out if the combo will work for me soon. If not I've decided on double amping with a FiiO A3.

Spur22Do you already have the A3? I would consider it pretty much the cheapest external amp that is still a worthwhile upgrade over the amp built into a phone (and much better than the amp built into a game console controller). There are clearer/cleaner sounding amps out there at a higher end cost, but the A3 should start you off pretty good :)

Oct 4, 2018

EvshrugI don't have one yet, I was originally going to opt for a Magni but I'm very much a couch gamer and the A3 setup just seems like it would be a lot simpler to me.

Spur22Yeah, and even if the Magni is a slightly better amp than the A3, I think the Magni’s cold (you could say almost glaring) signature doesn’t have good synergy with the HD 58X anyway. FiiO makes good stuff. I’m personally a big fan of the Q5, which has quite a nice DAC implementation, Bluetooth, and interchangeable amp modules, and it just sounds really smooth and good... I especially like my FiiO X7 (which is basically a Q5 with an android music player) with my HD 650. But as versatile as that option is, it’s probably outside of your budget for now.

EvshrugTo my surprise the Mixamp 5.8 is driving these very well. The clarity and detail on Rainbow Six is much better than my PC 360's and 37X. I'm hearing sounds in that game that I never heard before. Now just have to decide on a decent mic solution.

Oct 8, 2018

Spur22Connecting a mic to the console is always the trickiest part. Are you playing on a PS4 or XBO? I found plugging in a USB mic straight into my PS4 was a clean solution, but XBO is more complicated and you have to patch in the controller to the Mixamp and use an analog mic. I got a cheap lapel mic from amazon back when I played on XB360, if I had an XBO I probably would try to get an Antlion Mod Mic or the similar Massdrop MinI Mic, both of which you can stick onto the HD 58X to make it like a headset.

Oct 8, 2018

EvshrugI have both but mostly play on PS4 while the Xbone collects dust. I went ahead and placed an order for the FiiO A3 and Modmic 5 last night. I plan to tie it all into the Mixamp as my favorite feature is being able to turn my teammates down when I need to really hear game audio cues. Thanks so much for all of your help on this.

The audio on my pc38x is not working

One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir

Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair

Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Refusal to take responsibility.

Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...
