    I thought pretty much all truly wireless earbuds have one master and one slave bud - I'm not sure there are any that will actually let you run just the slave. Though at the same time, I'm pretty sure all will let you use the master side alone. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm genuinely curious.)

    What about the updated version, the IE80 S?

    I haven't had the time at all recently, even though I keep meaning to go fly. I should really brush up in the simulator though - It's been something like a year since the last time I actually flew.

    Are you sure the issue isn't just that you're listening to stuff that's too loud, and when an explosion happens your amp clips?
  5. KaminKevCrew
    Generally speaking, yes. A nice pair of noise cancelling headphones will get rid of the majority of the droning noises that happen on any kind of public transport. They will also dampen the sounds of screeching wheels, etc. if that's a concern for you. However, the best way to make pretty much all background noise completely unnoticeable would be to pick up something like a pair of Etymotic ER4 headphones, and use the triple flange tips if you can stomach them. You won't be able to hear anything outside of whatever you're listening to, even at pretty quiet sound levels.

    In what way will the Xonar be incompatible?

    Can you not thread necro please?

    You may have to get an mmcx bluetooth adapter, and lop off the connectors and replace them.

    1 headset, 2 PCs

    Behringer makes some decent stuff that's pretty affordable. Yamaha also makes some good stuff, and I'd probably trust them more though for feature parity they are generally going to be more expensive than behringer. That being said, you don't exactly need a crazy mixer to get this done - you shouldn't need anything more than a basic one. I think that will only work if your headset isn't USB though. e.g. PC1 => mixer, PC2 => mixer, mixer => headphones

    Are you able to hook an HDMI cable directly from the PC to the soundbar, just to make sure that the PC can even send sound through the soundbar, to rule that out? (No idea why that would be the case - I wouldn't expect it to be, but it might be worth checking out.)

    Have you set the TV to output sound through the sound bar?

    Really the only other way to do this would be to invest in a mixer, and just mix the two sources together, but mixers are definitely more expensive than a cable.

    Yes, or at least Emotiva calls the knob on the front a volume knob, so I would assume so. (I downloaded and looked at the manual.)

    Glad I could help! I was confused at first when you said "cinch" connectors, as I've never actually heard of them before. Turns out that's a common term in Europe - in the US, we call them RCA connectors!

    I have a denon AVR 4602 (I think that's the model - numbers in model names are annoying) and it has pre outs that you can use. I would think you could get one for less than $600 or so used, and it's a competent enough receiver. Actually, here's a processor with what you need (or so it looks) for $700: https://emotiva.com/collections/processors/products/mc-700 Emotiva makes great stuff too, all of their gear utilizes really good build quality.

    Plus, aren't cooler master boards made by filco or leopold?

    Windows and bluetooth, as already mentioned, is terrible. Your YouTube videos are probably pausing so that the audio can catch up with the video so that you won't constantly be watching desynced videos. Bluetooth has lag associated with it, so if the video waits for a couple of hundred ms, then it can compensate for that and allow you to watch without having to deal with poorly synced audio. The reason your game cuts out probably has to do with your computer having to mix the game and youtube audio for bluetooth, and when the video stream stops it has to re mix the audio or some other garbage like that. Windows is terrible for bluetooth.

    Make sure that windows is set to treat your headphones as headphones rather than a headset.

    yeah, your guess was correct. High gain generally leads to high noise. Ever notice how some recordings of acoustic music have white noise? That's because the gain has to be higher in order to record acoustic instruments, and the white noise is a side effect of that. Too much gain, and the white noise will get louder. The white noise is basically the noise floor of the recording system, and the higher the gain, the more that noise floor gets amplified.

    If you're using COAX or TOSLINK optical for your connection, you could be having an issue with bit depth. The most that's supported over those two formats is 24 bit 92khz, though a lot of sound cards and modern devices *can* do 24 bit 192khz, which may not be recognized by your receiver.
  22. KaminKevCrew
    That's only true for digital audio. If the record player doesn't have a pre amp built in, it will not be able to output enough voltage to allow the speakers to produce a meaningful amount of sound. As such, OP will need a phono pre amp, and probably an RCA to 3.5mm female adapter to plug into the speakers..

    Why would you bring up such an old thread? Just go make a new topic and someone can help you out better. Thread necro-ing is bad form.

    Setup for HD650

    KaminKevCrew replied to Deuce's topic in Audio

    Bottlehead Crack plus Speedball + RME ADI-2. But how much do you have to spend?
  25. KaminKevCrew
    That's not odd. The front panel audio is only capable of outputting stereo sound, so windows will automatically change to stereo sound if you plug something into the front panel.
