So I bought the Sennheiser 595 after reading reviews, these headphones are supposed to be really good. But I haven't noticed anything special, it seems to stutter every now and then and the sound don't come as sharp as I thought. I'm comparing these headphones to my Astro A40 - pro gaming gear/ MLG headsets and I believe shure in-ear-phones. I think they produce a better sound? what should I do test them out better? or should I send them back?

Also stopped by BestBuy and took a listen to Dre's headphones, really amazing sound. Not sure if it connected to some special amp to get the sound that good but I wanted my headphones to sounds like that.

How did you hook them up? Are you connecting the headphones to your onboard or do you have a dedicated soundcard / amp? This can make a huge difference from my experience. I have a BeyerDynamic DT880 (2003 model) and it sounded nothing special when I first hooked it up to my PC. (It sounded a LOT better in the store). Then I got a dedicated amp and since then I haven't found any better headphones. Just a thought. :)

Stutter seems more like a source problem to me and I dont exactly know what you mean by non-sharp sound. Do you mean the treble is lower? Maybe your old headphones had an inherent "smiley faced" EQ to them which boosted the bass and the treble so you might be missing that in the very neutral Sennheisers. 595 will shine with even average quality music files (bitrate wise) given that your source is also good. The new 595s are only 50 ohms and not very power hungry so you can do without an amp for a while but get a better source when you can.

(Ive had a 595 for over 2 years now and using them with EMU 0202)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
