Gwyrgyn Blood posted:I should post up my full requirements in case there's an obvious choice in the matter: If you don't care about bass, the Phillips SHP9500's are really good and really comfortable, and easily made into a gaming headset with a v-moda boom pro (if you play multiplayer). Have zero issues with them as a glasses wearer. The only con is that you can't change the pads out (not that you need to, but if you had a pad you liked you won't be able to use it) I just retired my pair to be PS4 headphones now that my Mayflower V1's came in today (so nice!)

I am just using a Micca Origen+, it has enough power for them (dial between 1-3 o' clock for normal listening), but might be problematic if you listen to quieter stuff. I'll upgrade to a Schiit stack later if I feel the absolute need to. e: oh looks like the origen+ got price hiked to over $100  . Scored one from miccastore for $65 awhile back

These Shure Alcantara pads are so good, can definitely recommend if you have cans that can use them.

Micca Origen is pretty good and barely breaks the $100 mark, and they drive my planars. Had to get a ground loop isolator though to elimate buzz from the y-splitter for the V-Moda mic.

Samurai Sanders posted:About the Astro itself, I asked in the PS4 thread if those were still a thing people used and no one responded. How does the 3D sound on them sound? That's the only reason I'd consider replacing my Soundblaster with one I think, since I don't care about voice communication. I'm not sure about 3D audio (I only used the standard, no effects added sound profile), I used it for my Phillips SHP9500 + V-Moda Boompro setup, and had no audio issues outside of the astro volume knob being a little finicky.

A ground loop isolator will get rid of the noise, but you will take a slight volume hit.

There is a new revision of the Micca Orgien that fixes the driver issue, so it's not a complete pain in the rear end anymore, but having to drop $110 for a QoL thing is a bit much for now.

I'm leaning toward the Custom Ones for the removable cable, but does anyone have any strong opinions between these two? Casual googling suggests they're largely identical, but quality headphone reviews being almost nonexistent its hard to say. Removable cable is worth the extra $10 imo

Ordered a pair of BLON-01s, hope they last longer than the KZ's I had and their follow up replacements. Also upgraded my Micca Origen+ to a SMSL AD18, still drives my Fostex T50rp MkIIIs just fine, and all the input options are good.

Going to be using my BLON-01s again, but the stock silicone tips are bad. Can’t find any specifics about replacements for them, can I just buy whatever people have recommended for the 03s?
