#29 Good Headphones + DAC & AMP in Hardware
SetsulOh shit I forgot. Sennheiser = HD600/650 because everything else they ever made doesn't matter.

Pretty much. Not like they make anything else worth buying.
Don't know why you are trying to defend this company. They were a lot more relevant like 8 years ago (HD 600s are amazingly good for how old they are) but we have other options now.

It is enough of a problem that Crackheiser has become a meme in audio enthusiast circles.

When i refer to Sennheiser having a narrow sound stage i mostly refer to the HD600/650 which are the only headphones they make that are better at something than there competitors and even then if i wanted a headphone with that sound signature i would still rather get Audio-Technica ATH-R70Xs.

Like i said they are not bad. Just over recommended. I put the company as a whole on about the same tier as Bose.

#24 Good Headphones + DAC & AMP in Hardware
SetsulAlso "Sennheiser anything" isn't overrated, their MSRPs are ridiculous though. No one except Sennheiser even tries to sell e.g. HD650s for 500$ and no one in their right mind would buy them for that price.

They are overpriced because of brand recognition and poor build quality (who makes $100+ headphone frames out of plastic?). Don't get me wrong they are not BAD. But you can usually do better for your money unless you get a good sale. Also Sennheiser has a notoriously narrow sound stage. I see WAY too many people buying the HD 600 meme for games.

#21 Bought new pc and it won't run tf2 on highest in Q/A Help
guyehhhgemmmake sure you install the ryzen chipset drivers, that makes a surprising difference ive heard. same with gpu drivers

where can't you get over 200fps? 200fps in 24 player pubs is pretty good for this gam, try mastercoms or comanglia's config tho

When i play pugchamp 6s I can't even get 200 fps, I spent around $2k on my pc and the game is 10 y/o.

Game is shit. That is normal even on i7s without a config. What R7 did you get? The 1700 is very low clocked by default but overclocks nicely and should make a big difference. Did you get good ram or the cheapest garbage 2133 kit you could find? That makes a big difference on Ryzen.

#20 Good Headphones + DAC & AMP in Hardware

Anyone recommending no soundstage Crackhiesers for gaming should GTFO.

Anything short of the hardest to drive headphones should be fine on cheapish dac/amp.

For general purpose listening i love my Audio Technica ATH-MSR7BKs with lamb leather Brainwavz pads. Can listen to them for hours comfortably. Extremely easy to drive (can be used comfortably from a phone), wide soundstage (for closed backs), decent imaging, solid but not exaggerated bass, detailed but not sibilant highs, and compatible with the v-moda boompro. Not the BEST at anything but extremely well rounded.

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-MSR7BK-SonicPro-High-Resolution-Headphones/dp/B00PEU9CFA

For pure competitive gaming and analytic listening i recommend the Audio Technica ATH-AD1000X/2000Xs. Both are easy to drive, extremely comfortable, VERY detailed, and have soundstage and imaging i havnt seen from anything less than high end planars.

Good bundle deal on a DAC/AMP and some BeyerDynamic DT 1990 PROs.

https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-Studio-Headphones-Slappa-Accessories/dp/B01KMWRZ0S/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511482292&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=dt+1990+pro&psc=1

The best way i could describe the BeyerDynamic DT 1990 PRO is VERY German.

These sound excellent for the price and are a excellent entr into planars if you are willing to deal with some build quirks.

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Monolith-M1060-Planar-Headphones/dp/B01N32N5DD/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511482451&sr=1-12&keywords=monoprice+headphones

I heard GOOD things about the Fostex TH-X00 Purplehearts. Plan to get myself a pair eventually.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fostex-x-massdrop-th-x00-purpleheart-headphones

I could recommend some endgame cans (think $800+ and requiring a high end amp) but this being your first set of high ends these are all good entry points.

Note:
Sennheiser anything and Audio Technica ATH-M50Xs are HIGHLY overrated.

#17 idiots in dm servers in TF2 General Discussion

Is there a way to delist some of the MGE and DM servers so that you can only join via IP and TF.TV?
Cancer players are taking it over. Yesterday i was trying to MGE to warm up with a new sense and more than 1/2 the server was Spy/70 fov/memespoon.

I wouldn't mind the Pyro doing this much damage if it actually took some skill to do. This is just retarded.
