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.

    • Briefly used Turbo Pascal (and Turbo C++) in 97 and soon after that I bought PC magazine that included a full version of Delphi 2. I still use Delphi today, some 29 years later.
    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
