I haven't upgraded my chain in years. The amp and DAC combo was purchased to power the HD650 and K701 for which they're perfectly fine. The amp is a little bit underpowered for the HD800 but I'll worry about that later.

i'm not sure if this has been asked before, and i'll admit i'm a complete noob when going into the realms of audio but can anyone give me some suggestions if i wanted to purchase a high quality WIRELESS headset? not one that takes calls, one that prioritizes audio quality of entertainment, gaming, music. i recently purchased a new monitor, and would love to roam around the house and do things at the same time while i have some entertainment playing, I.E. a movie, or still be able to listen to a stream while not disturbing my roommates and others.

price is irrelevant, i simply want to know a baseline of choices before picking but there seems to be so many out there. i thought i'd come to the experts at TL to give me an informed decision. so perhaps some suggestions at $100, $200, $300, then 300+. in those categories what are the top 2 contenders for each? so these are the factors;

it has to be wireless, how it performs > how it looks in this case as i don't plan to take it out the house, durability and longevity, comfort in the realms of being able to lay down and watch movies with it on with a pillow, the roaming range doesn't have to be anything great.

So far ive been using a V2 Siberia for quite some time, and i have money to change them now, im torn between the V3 or a 7.1 (Kraken or 7H) headset ?

Are any of those worth the upgrade ? are 7.1 worth it or just a "gimmick" and 5.1 is more than enough (or even stereo) ? or should i save the money and just wait (hence the V2 still more than enough) ?


Im not really a super competitive guy but i like having some good headphones to do everything on PC

3.5 mm stereo input, you have to check your TV if it can output this.

Something along these lines. How scary.

I think so, but I read about some problems earlier this year with a ton of counterfeit goods being sold through Amazon. And videos like that don't help!

hmm turns out I can't actually pack away my HD650 yet. The HD800 is a merciless pair of cans.
I didn't realize I had so many crappy recordings that demand the forgiving nature of HD650.

Though getting a refund and/or replacement should not be a problem imho, either pressuring amazon or contacting sennheiser directly, and let them do the pressure for you.

Just sad that some might get the wrong impression about an otherwise fine product, there are bound to be some (very small amount of people but still...) that just don't check on forums/think that's the way it's supposed to :-/

ya they're considered to be one of the most revealing cans out there and it's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of it. Perhaps you gotta wait for the "burn in"

Just bought a Bottlehead Crack+Speedball kit for ~310 shipped. Now I HAVE to upgrade my HD 598s to HD 650s and grab a good dac.

Ohhh no wonder you got it now.

There's a sale going on. Interesting...

I'm pretty happy with my current amp. I do own the HD650 - not sure if this would be an upgrade.

Edit: Demoninja, do I need to solder anything myself to put it together? I don't think I'm skilled enough to put this together.


Yeah you'd have to put it together but I heard people say it's a beginner level project so you shouldn't have any problems. I do have experience with soldering though so I'm not worried about it. They don't provide a physical guide but they take you to a page to download a PDF when you purchase.


So uh, any update on this?

How does the Crack+Speedball sound with the HD650s?

Hey question guys, everyone I spoke to swears up and down that WASAPI is noticeably better than direct sound. I cannot ear the difference at all. I'm on windows 8.1. Tested this by toggling the output back and forth on foobar2000.

Am I doing something wrong?

i think wasapi mucked up for me when switching sources, either i had to restart foobar or my computer every time, not sure. i dont use it anymore because it always mucked up my drivers and i'd need to restart my computer :p

I have Jaybird bluebuds x and they are comfortable wireless headset for any sport/gym activity. They have some waterproof protection and don't fall off your ear when you shake your head.

...jealous. Prob got em for free :p

Also, anyone have any recommendations for some 2.1 computer speakers? My are starting to crap out on me and always pick up interference which is annoying as hell. Looking for <$50 but that's flexible.
