MH751 audio quality is soso

[burntcrisp]

I just got my MH751 delivered to me 2 days ago and i was disappointed with the audio quality. I don't know if it has to do with my motherboard (h110m ds2-cf) being cheap or what but the earphone that i bought has the same audio quality of the headset for $7. As for comfort, it's great, i can barely feel it and i think i can wear it for a long gaming session. But other than that? I'm disappointed. I bought a $5 sound card as a replacement of mh752 sound card and see if that changes anything.

In what respect is it not better than your cheap headset?what do you feel is lacking? It's a pretty flat sounding headset so for many people they get dissapointed when they aren't blown away by bass impact and would not be surprised if that was the case in this case.

Probably your mobo actually. The little dongle is great tho.

It's not worse than my $7 earphone. Like i said, it's a very comfortable headset and i like it. But as for the sound goes? It's pretty much the same with my earphone and that's $54 vs $7 value. I bought this headset because of great reviews. And because of that, i even started thinking that it might be a defective one. Or like i said, maybe it's because of the cheap mobo.

If it's the mobo i hope the sound card (plextone gs3) that i bought is good enough. I didn't buy expensive one because i heard that the MH752 version sound card is a cheap one.

Could very well be mobo. But the thing I suggest in this case is time. Let yourself find the nuances in the headphones and differences. It's what I and many other like to call brain burn in.  But I'm not sure what a cheap $5 DAC amp can do but worth a try.

The one with the MH752's is great for the price tho.

It's cheap but comparable to the ones that thery sell with a hyper x cloud 2 which goes for like $20 which is compatible to something like a creative play!3

This. This is very important. I had this twice happening to my high-end headphones and out of the box, they didn't sound nice. After a week I started to love them a lot. Bass improved aswell as the treble started to sound vivid, sparkly and pleasant. Your brain has to get used to the new sound first.
