@Dackzy I'm eagerly awaiting your science lesson to be unleashed.

Id suggest getting a mod mic and slapping that onto any cheap-o pair of headphones you can find. And down the road if you ever want to get better headphones you can transplant the mic onto the new set!

JBL 305

My general rule of thumb - if they make keyboards and/or mice, I'm not going to buy their audio gear.

The new Modi 3 just dropped and it looks awesome. The Schiit Stack for $200 (Magni 3 + Modi 3) now truly seems to be an unbeatable combination of flexibility, performance, and price. Link to the new DAC is below. What do y'all think?

Just so ya'll know - HD6xx back up on Massdrop + no wait time https://www.massdrop.com/?referer=J2DTUT https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ccu_massdrop_sennheiser_hd6xx_in_stock&referer=J2DTUT&mode=guest_open&iterableCampaignId=395977&iterableTemplateId=567331

In stock and ready to ship. A pretty rare opportunity tbh - if you have $200 and have been waiting for the right pair of headphones...... THESE! https://www.massdrop.com/?referer=J2DTUT

For the m40x to really be worth it you need to upgrade to the angled hm5 pads which is another 20-40 on top of the cost of the headphones. So if you are on a strict budget the Senny options might be better

Well you're a real downer - I have a $50 gift card and $0 of debt, healthy savings, strong credit score, 401k, roth ira, and more personal investments. If I would like to spend $50 on mindless junk then I think I should very well do so. Thank you for being a real downer.

Just like most people around here will say - 7.1 in a headset is mostly a sales gimmek to get you to over pay for underperforming headphones. That being said - I personally really enjoy my AT-m40x with upgraded HM5 angled pads for gaming. Also maybe the Phillips SHP-9500. Your best bet is to get really good headphones for the actual hardware rather than relying on sofware that usually doesnt provide a legitimate benefit

Is there a specific reason you are looking for a soundbar rather than just getting a set of speakers? For that price point you could get some really quality powered monitors, or a basic amp and some good passive speakers. Generally sound bars are considered to be overpriced and underperform especially when compared to bookshelf speakers.

yeah I would just say be careful with soap and things of that nature, not sure if the oils/chemicals of the shampoo and soap would have any adverse effects on them

Agree here, this is what I have and I really enjoy them. Nice bump to soundstage and bass imo

10/10 people will tell you that virtualized surround sound is a gimmick to sell you overpriced soundcards. My advice would be to get headphones with good imaging and high quality treble. Check out the Philips shp9500 and the ATH-WS1100iS as some possible options (then get a mod mic to make them headsets).

Just got this email from Amazon this morning entitled "Home Audio Speakers". I think they might need to do a better job picking the thumbnails for each of their sections  I haven't even looked at bluetooth speakers recently so I have no idea why they are all over the place haha.

I’d take a look at the Vanatoo T0 - probably as good as it gets for the price for powered monitors. And take a look at used subwoofers - can usually find some pretty good deals around $100 bucks

AYE CONGRATS ON 4K POSTS  but also thanks for the info - that'll probably be my summer splurge purchase then
 

It doesnt have to be a sound card, I just said sound card because I dont want to spend like $200 on a DAC+amp
 
Thanks, I got this and I hear absolutely no hissing
