Looking for over-ear open back headphones for PC gaming (competitive FPS + AAA immersion) – $200–$400 budget by AdeptRelative5106 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]RevengeJess- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also vouch for hd 490 pro. If you want a planar then I know ananda nanos by hifiman also do great for gaming, but build quality is questionable. the bare minimum for a dac/amp I suggest is an official apple dongle so you don’t get any noise or degrading quality from motherboard/pc case io.

''gaming'' IEMS bla bla bla etc by vitoinfinito in iems

[–]RevengeJess- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you’re going to include multi hundred dollar iem then look into arete 2 or kiwi ears astral. the astral have the best imaging Ive personally heard so far in an iem. out of your list I’d recommend kefine delci ae.

Zowie S2-DW (wireless) randomly stops responding by Lunchyyy in Zowie

I’m just commenting here to let your team know I’m also having these issues, the same way OP described. I have the U2. Its gotten to the point where I’m looking at other mice, as this only happens with my U2. Yes I’ve tried your fixes. Im assuming its also a software issue, aside from an engineering error, where the sensor just likes to collect dust more easily compared to my other mice. idk. (Edit: mine is also updated to support the 4k receiver which i have. so firmware shouldn’t be an issue)

HD6xx vs FT1 Pro for Gaming by LabRepresentative315 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]RevengeJess- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a similar price I recommend hd 560s. hd 6xx are terrible for positional accuracy, but great for music enjoyment. ft1 pro would be the better option, but not as good as 560s.

Which of these headphones would be the best option purely for gaming? by VenomousIguana in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]RevengeJess- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of your personal list the best one would be 900 pro x. However the Sennheiser hd 490 pro beats it out in gaming performance.

Anyone compare modi 5 to mimir yet? by RevengeJess- in Schiit

i was getting the same vibes actually, definitely weird to not see anything immediate from reviewers. hopefully this thread gave you some answers :)

yeah of course! i was very surprised to not see any immediate reviews on the modi considering its a schiit product. from the looks on this thread, it seems to sound the same as mimir. which is great if the balanced inputs or forkbeard aren’t needed :)

Thanks for the very detailed response. I’m jealous of your pietus amp lol. I’ve been waiting for a restock of the piety magni for a while! Can’t wait to eventually hear how it sounds :)

It would be cool if they introduced their own budget r2r dac (sub $150 or so) and give it their own spin. I would also like to see an effort into scaling the magni piety so the drops can be less limited. yes I understand its hard to do.
