They sell for about 120$ regular. so i wouldnt expect too much. Most of the Audio Technicas are like the Beyerdynamic. Bright and not much bass or body. not sure if these are the same.

Beyer’s and audio Technica are pretty different, they both are generally brighter signatures but they do sound pretty different

Also if you still have the 880 have you tried it on the darkvoice?

Yeah i meant their the same in that they are bright with little bass or body.

I did try the DT880 with my darkvoice and i liked them a lot more. seemed to help with the bass and body. very nice. Makes me wonder if i should get the DT1990. I bet it sounds awesome.

'Ain’t that the one that makes you use the microphone, and after a certain point, any freaking noise sets off the Alien?

I believe so

Fuck that lol

That would SUCK in my dorm…

Last time I played a horror game, it was so long ago, Clive Barker’s Undying. I think I’m going to give this a shot.

I play mostly horror games. Alien Isolation is a blast. That was a commonly requested game when I used to stream on Twitch.

I caved and pulled the trigger on it and Aliens vs Predator($3 right now).
I still remember my first time playing Hellblade… I believe I was using the dac in the DAC-X6 line out to my Little Bear B4 powering my DT 990s, lights off after nightfall… Creeped me out.

That’s awesome. Nothing I have played creeped me out more than Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 3 back in the day. Although outlast had it’s moments.

I got killed on the exchange rate and paid an extra $55.00 on this one!

But I really DO love this amp. This is definitely end game for me.

I finally splurged on the Focal stand a while ago at Rakuten. Found it for the bargain basement price of $220, plus (I think) 20% back in credit for future Rakuten purchases. Even then it was pure fanboy tax that I justified only because I have collected most of the Focal lineup.

My frugal side is proud of everyone who buys banana hangers for their headphones.

Yup. Settings → Disable Mic

That feature just seems like unnecessary trolling. The game is tense enough without my IRL sounds breaking stealth for me.

This is also available with Microsoft’s PC Game Pass right now. It’s going to be one of the next games I play. I’m just deciding whether I want to jump into Outer Worlds again. In any case, I’ve played Alien: Isolation twice previously, on 360 and XBox One. It’s one of my all-time favorites, especially for audio. My other two playthroughs were on surround sound, which was intense. This time it will be headphones, and I’m trying to decide from T1, 1990, or Focals (Elex maybe? Gotta stick with the black theme for Aliens, lol)
