These huge old things are connected to my on-board sound card and hanged around my neck when I'm gaming, purely for the microphone alone for communication through TS with friends:

For sound, I use my 7.1 speakers system connected to my stand alone pci-e sound card. I'm really anti-headphones, especially the ones that claim to provide true surround sound. Never could find ones to provide me the necessary clarity and "boom" I require.

I hear that.. still searching for a pair myself that packs a punch. The ones I have currently are adequate, nothing to brag about, but I've yet to find a pair that I'm really happy with. When the volume is pretty high I want to have the option of giving myself a self-induced lobotomy or at least a mild nose bleed, not a lot of distortion. (Not that I would.. but the ones I wind up with always sound a bit weak.)

Depending on your budget I highly recommend the DT770s. Even if you don't buy them go to your nearest guitar center and give them a listen just for kicks. Hopefully you have some bass heavy music, since the bass definition is amazing as well. These headphones will only be as good as your output though. Having a USB sound interface or good sound card is a must for these babies. Well, as you can see, I love the sound of these. I'm just saying even if you don't buy them :)

Mm don't think I've tried those yet, I'll check it out, thanks for the tip. And yea not using onboard audio, but a Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium, with the speakers I'm using it makes the windows vibrate nicely.

The Sennheiser PX 100 when I am at home, mostly connected to my iPod Touch.

The Klipsch Image S4i when I am on the go, connected to my iPod Touch.

I've also got the Sennheiser HD 202, MEElectronics M9 and the JVC Marshmallow which are now like backup headphones/earphones.

So long as you were enjoying the interruption ;)

Now if only Seinnheiser would add a Mic to their builds >.<

I feel the exact opposite to some extent. I have the Sennheiser Game 360's, they'd be perfect if the mic was removable. Other than that the sound quality is beautiful and I find them ideal for gaming, music, film... pretty much everything.

I had a pair of Creative HS-1100's before that and they were great. Noise cancellation is unbelievable, a little too good in my opinion. Bass would literally make the headset rattle on the desk, but if you closed the cups... it was pretty much silent.

Playing BC2 with 'War Tapes' audio selected was an experience to say the least.

I am looking into getting a pair of these Sennheiser OMX 90-VC for iPod use, I'm currently using some terrible Blackberry ones as a makeshift.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
