My english is not top notch but If your are looking for competitive fps at home in a noise free space here is the tier list (the hd800 is off this list as it cost a shit tone of money to be run at 100%)
First ppl have to understand when it come to fps the difference between huge soundstage and detail,u can have big soundstage like AKG K712 Pro but with just average positioning audio at close to midd range in Cs go for example.
1:ath ad700x (90 to 120 $) Best in slot...but boring as fuck when it come to music/movie or even some casual gaming like Tw3.
1/2:ath ad1000x (300$+) same as 700x but this one is really nice for any hifi use if u like AudioTech sound.
3:DT 1990 (450 $+) 250 ohm need at least Schiit stack or same range of Amp.
4:HD 660s (450$+) 150 ohm same as Dt1990 with less precision for pinpoint enemy position
5:HD 700 (599$+) 150 ohm Dac/amp needed,could be the best for some ppl,but it cost 600$ in most country and can be loved or hated for other use so...if u are in for this can buy to amazon and use the 30day return if u dont like it.
Ps:Do not use any virtual suround gimmick with any of this headphone.
For Dac amp combo i recommand:
1:Arc dac by mayflower 240$
2:Schiit stack modi/magni 200$
3:SoundblasterX g6 (do not ever use the "scoutmode") 160$
all of them can power up 250 Ohm headphone .

EpokzThanks for this. I've tried:
AD700x
DT1990
HD660s
(Will soon test the Sundara)
But out of all of them I've found the AD1000x to work best for games like Rainbow Six Siege.
AD700x was great but I found I had a hard time pinpointing the exact location of sounds. The AD1000x did a better job of sound separation. The DT1990 was just too much detail and I had a harder time identifying an enemy location. The HD660s was just...bad lmao. Not bad headphones but for R6 not great at all (I would take the 700x over it).
Have you tried the PC38x yet? Any comparisons to the AD1000x?

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?
I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

Invest in Balancing my HD6xx headphones?
Hi... I'm a songwriter/producer. I have Drop Senn HD6xx HPs. I just bought a Topping L30 II SE HP amp to enhance my monitoring. It honestly sounds pretty good. The audio interface I'm using (an Audient iD22) has balanced outs. For those of you who've listened to the HD6xx using balanced amps and cables, do you think I should invest in that kind of setup to take advantage of the Senns potential?

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
