MayflowerElectronics reacted to Lays in Does cheap 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter affect sound quality?
I'd recommend the Audeze connector like @MayflowerElectronics did (or something like it). I have one that I used to use with my LCD-2 until I got an amp that could support my 1/4" jack. It's ridiculously well built IMO.

It's $20 though, so if you don't have a spare 20, get something cheaper as it won't make a difference in sound. IMO the build quality is worth it though.
I think sennheiser makes one too, it may be less/more expensive. check amazon/ebay.

Be careful which adapter you use. The solid ones put a lot of strain on the Jack.
Get one like this -

And no, it doesn't have any effect on SQ.

Return it, return it, return it, return it, return it, return it, return it.
That's the best choice. Plus, you'll be more rich and have the imbalance fixed.

MayflowerElectronics reacted to ces160 in No sound in one ear with new Asus xonar Essence STX
I have one of these and have not experience this problem, and would not recommend it. I have a noticeable hiss of interference at high volumes. If you can return it and get your money back I would. You may want to look into an external DAC and amp like the objective 2.

Black licorice? No thanks.
Anyways: Mayflower is having a promotion, $20 off purchases over $99. That means O2 is $20 off. Or Odac or whatever you wanna get.
Plus Massdrop:

MayflowerElectronics got a reaction from Valhallatier in Higher end audio....starting with cans
There are plenty of people. No, I don't have a wide range of $1000 headphones because there are less than a handful of good ones. Not only that, the OP isn't looking to spend $1000 so the argument is irrelevant. Good headphones can be acquired for much much less.
Headfi is a joke of a website and is a giant sponsored mess that is ran by a greedy owner Jude. There is a reason I'm on here and not headfi and why I don't like it when people just tell our community members to go over there.

Didn't you get the memo?
Higher price = better.
$1000 means auto-orgasm.

The HD800s are bright. Sound is great, soundstage is great. I've had enough time with HD800 to do all sorts of crazy stuff with them, and I know the bass is very well controlled. But there's isn't that much of it. I've spent very little time with Alpha Dogs but from my time with it I was impressed. I felt they were pretty balanced. Nothing felt out of place to me. They are closed, so it's got good noise isolation, but it won't sound as open. You better be willing to try out the headphone in person or take a significant risk if you're going to get to that price range. And you're going off of the assumption that HD800 > HD650 or somethin'. I know multiple people that prefer HD650. Ignore the price, find one that sounds the best to you, and then look back at the price to see if the price is OK. Try not to let price influence your hearing (it will regardless, fact of human bias). You can't read your way into knowing exactly how a headphone sounds. And people often like to justify spending a mortgage payment for their house on their headphones, so they will over-exaggerate differences (if any) they actually hear.
HD800s should be more comfortable. They're going to be more lightweight. Alpha Dogs are closed and you have that leather which from other headphones, seem to make ears a bit heated after a long time. HD800s you can wear forever while gaming. Why don't you try out the HD600, 650, HE400, HE500, LCD2, Mad Dogs before you make a decision. You're auto-assuming you just want Alpha Dogs for HD800s. Audio is not for everybody. You can't just throw money at it at assume you'll be so impressed your balls will turn blue from the tease. You better try things out to make sure it's for you. And TRY to be honest with yourself. Do I like this? Or do I REALLY like this? Is price and bling factor affecting my judgement?
Mayflower suggested DT990s. Ehh, I guess so, but I think they should be kindda bright too. It's a U shaped FR, kindda. Boosted bass, boosted treble. I'm not a fan personally although I sure some people are. Sure, throw DT880 or 990s to the list.
Fuck sound cards. They need to go away. If you're going to upgrade your sound card, get an external dac and amp. Schiit stack is all you'll ever need and is a little cheaper than my favorite O2/Odac combo. Asus is betting that people like you have no idea what you're doing and you're going to listen to their marketing weasel-words.
Oh, and unless a headphone has just the PERFECT FR you are looking for, EQ is not a sin, it's a tool. Granted it's a tool most people have no idea how to use properly, but it's there and it makes a difference.
Before I explode, I can tell you're new here (to the audio sub) and to audio in general. Headfi requires that you already have a lot of knowledge in headphones otherwise you're going to believe the truckloads of shit they are going to try to sell you from magic dacs to magic cables. It's forum full of people suffering from placebo and expectation bias. You are making the problem worse by recommending a newbie that website. I see you mean well, the forum IS big after all, and big usually suggests authority. If I were in your position I would probably say the same thing. But the answer is NO. Just no.
I'm having a streak of bad temper this week and you're getting close to setting off one of my triggers. You don't know anything about us. We have our own private little Audiofeelz Thread where we have private sexy parties. $1000 headphone is just the norm. Stop acting like you know anything, enough to even know what to suggest to seek help because clearly you don't.

MayflowerElectronics got a reaction from ShearMe in How to find a balance between my speakers and subwoofer
Does your sub-woofer have a crossover? That may be your problem...but most likley if you listen to a broad range of audio then you'll have varying degree's of bass. Nothing you can really do about it.

MayflowerElectronics got a reaction from Guest in SLI 980's - Studdering/V-sync Issues
Almost like the FPS would drop down to 20 fps for about a second. I just did a 100mhz overclock, nothing crazy. It's 1500mhz on both cards, MSI afterburner does it automatically.
It's liquid cooled I can't move them.
The driver is 1 day old. Bios and chipset are also new as of 1 day.
344.16 I believe.

MayflowerElectronics got a reaction from Vacsol in Amp Dac or Sound Card?
What motherboard do you have? I really think your best option is to plug it into your motherboard.
If you want virtual 5.1, either enable it in your video game or download razor surround.

A soundcard will do nothing to fix that, thats how the headphones sound. You need to return/sell them and look for a more neutral pair of headphones.

MayflowerElectronics reacted to JayzTwoCents in Do I need a high end sound card?
Ahh, the Audiophile Religion, alive and well. I don't pretend to know much in audio, nor do I even want to get involved. People take it way more serious than its worth, especially since we all have different hearing ranges anyway. DB drags destroyed my low frequency sensitivity long ago and I dont plan to kill whats left of my hearing arguing over what I can still hear.
Have a nice day.

They wrap around your ears. Although if you are using these outside there's no point in buying something that expensive that can break. Just get something cheap.
