Wow, u know ur stuff. I needed some time to digest all this, but it was pleasantly informative. Forget everything I've said about store availability. Amazon UK is available to me with sometimes free shipping. So anything there is greenlit. I've heard good things about X2HR and it's totally an option. As for an amp I've narrowed it down to Atom and Liquid Spark. What are ur thoughts? Edit: I'm deciding between X2HR and 560S and leaning towards JDS Atom Stack. I'm just wondering if 100$ on DAC is better than swapping out 560S for something different.

I like what I hear about X2HR, but they're unavailable in every store I've got access to. Thx for the reply tho

Idk, I heard someone mention it. Don't know if there's any truth to it.

Yes, I do play games fairly regularly (fps, rpg, lol), but music experience takes full priority imo and gaming comes second. From what I've just seen online Hyperx Cloud Alpha has a very flas signature and I liked it. The lows were powerfull, but not too dominant. Although as I said the lows would start to sound just a little muddy when too much was going on at once. The treble was there, not fatiguing over long sessions, but also a little too weak perhaps for my liking. The male voices were strong (particularly low ones like Dan Vasc), but female voices did lack a bit (old Nighwish songs). HyperX Cloud Alpha only has a significant dip on 4KHz, but I'm not sure which sounds are typically at that frequency. Overall I liked HyperX Cloud Alpha because it had commanding lows and still show detail in the treble. Knowing that it has similarly flat signature like 560S makes them look like a good fit. Although the 560S will like have slightly less bass due to open-back design, which is a little bit of a downer. But it has a few spikes in treble region, meaning it will probably compensate for the lesser bass by improving on the highs, where I wanted a little bit more from HyperX. Idk, tell me what ur take is on that. I'm not a new geek, but I am new to audio enthusiasm. The only thing keeping me hesitant with 560S is that some say they're "not exciting" and "meant for mixing - therefore not for general listening" die to the neutral signature. Although HyperX is also generally flat and I liked that. So...

Thank you for the detailed reply. I own an Asus X470 Prime motherboard. Since its not the cheapest option it apparently has better insulation than most ordinary motherboards and on HyperX I didn't perceive any noise. I have yet to own open-backs but I'm leaning towards HD560S due to supposed detailed highs and extended lows. I liked HyperX because it was the best headset I've had and the overall upgrade in sound quality, although the heavier songs like heavy metal and operatic metal we're starting to sound muddy. Therefore, the supposed fast decay of HD560S is another appealing aspect. However, I don't know if HD560S would be appropriate for my genre of music. I mainly listen to heavy metal and operatic metal (Nightwish), but I also enjoy other stuff like Dear Hunter and orchestral. I live in EU, but Amazon is really expensive in my country, so the other headphones I've seen available are HD559, 599, AKG K701, K702, Audio Tehnica AD700X, Beyer 990, which are basically all the brands I've looked at since I don't know the rest.

Hello y'all, I'm looking to upgrade from my HyperX headphones to something a little better with the intend to just listen & enjoy on my PC (I'm not recording anything). Also, my budget is around 300 $ 1. I'd be happy to receive your recommendations on open-back headphones 2. What external amp and DAC do you recommend. I've been thinking of Sound Blaster X3. 3. Do external DAC's (like Sound Blaster X3) replace the function or your motherboard sound card or do I need something else to escape motherboard interference? Thank you in advance, peace

Hi all, I've got a case of a PC that's just received a new motherboard, CPU, and power unit. When the new PC parts were put into the old PC it booted up fine and drivers were installed. Then after just a couple hours of use the PC would abrupltly restart. After that the PC would start again and while the fans are spinning and power button works, every other IO isn't getting any signal of even power. If anyone has any ideas, we'll greatly appreciate it, Thanks

The case is Aerocool 1000. I'm from the US

I'm using the Aero Cool case. Unknown but has a mount for the double radiator, dust filters, side window, and just serves me really well. I'll probably buy on Amazon and looking between 8$ and 15$

Hi everyone, My rear case fan sometimes doesn't properly startup sometimes. Which fan should i buy to replace it? I don't wanna buy something worthless for 3$ and also don't really want to spend 25$ on a single fan. (Btw, it has to support PWM and be 120mm) Thank you for any suggestion

So when I started my computer earlier it started to make a weird mechanical noise at the back of the case. I jump to see the rear fan making the commotion and that it seems to seen rather slower than usual. I first turn the computer off and on again and that fixed it. But, that's not good enough for me to just leave it. The PC is not, maybe good 2 years old. I assume that its one of the following that caused this: 1. The computer was having trouble with starting a fan. This would mean incorrect electric current delivery, which points to a big problem with the motherboard. Btw my motherboard is Asus Prime x470-pro. 2. Or the fan for some reason just didn't start correctly. Although I don't see why it would spin slower and not pick back up. You tell me if you know. Thanks for replies in advance.
