they're pretty great. you'll also love the cables

DVSTT · Postby **DVSTT** » May 16th, 2014, 7:17 am

Hoping they last and are durable enough to use when I go running. I've seen some negative reviews with respect to their durability so I hope they stepped up quality.

I had some sennheiser earbuds (CX 281) that gave way and had to replace them. I saw "Skullcandy Supreme Sound Riff" on sale and my word... the bass is insane. A bit too boomy at times but if you like this sort of bass, get it. I think I got a headache. I'll see how it performs once it breaks in but so far.. mids and highs are crap.

This might sound like sacrilege. .. but does anyone have experience with simulated surround sound software and can recommend any.
Also does anyone have a 5.1 or 7.1 headset and can share their experiences as regards gaming and listening to music
Kindest Regards

You have 2 ears not 7, true stereo is surround sound, refer to binaural concepts.

kamakazi · Postby **kamakazi** » June 14th, 2014, 7:16 pm

I understand that but there is something about separating frequencies and playing them from different locations that makes it sound better to me....

meccalli · Postby **meccalli** » June 14th, 2014, 7:21 pm

That's simulated via echoes, if you have a pair of cans with an excellent soundstage, you won't need inaccurate simulation, simulated 7.1 is very bad for gaming, think about it as how you use your ears in the environment and perceive directional sound in real time. When you have to process and split off particular bandwidths to directional sounds, its rather deceptive although it may give you the false perception of hearing something more clearly when its just an effect.

kamakazi · Postby **kamakazi** » June 14th, 2014, 7:55 pm

Any suggestions for cans with a good soundstage... Currently using a Sony mdr-v6. The effect i'm aiming for was after listening to the factory sound system in an audi... It appears to sound better but I'm not sure if it's because of boosted frequencies, sound separation or a bit of both.(probably better quality)
I love my mdr. .. but what would be the next step up. ..

meccalli · Postby **meccalli** » June 14th, 2014, 9:01 pm

get something good and done, medium range stuff from brands like sennheiser and audio technica are excellent stuff, i particularly am fond of grado and audio technica.

Decent bass. Have a look at Marques Brownie's unboxing of one of their products

You could also check out the beyerdynamic dt990 pro, my upgrade from my ultrasones.

Can't give my personal review yet as I still waiting for them to arrive. But they're highly praised as one of the best sounding pair of cans.

Does anyone know where in Trinidad has beats studio/executive (wireless) headphones for a reasonable price?

An by reasonable I mean close to actual price of the product

Don't be stupid, there are millions of other options cheaper than beats and with better sound quality.

kerwinishere · Postby **kerwinishere** » July 21st, 2014, 7:17 pm

I have a beats pro and I don't even walk with the cord....just wear it

If you want I have selected three wireless headphones I have demoed and for the Sony, owned.

You look like you have money to burn so if you buying expensive sheit at least by good expensive sheit and go with Bose.
