I once bought these cheapo $0.50 ear buds from e-bay.And now I have a $95 Cosair Vengence M1500 and a pair of $15 Logitech Z130 speakers.

You know what?

They all sound exactly the same weather it be on my phone or computer or chromebook or tv or I-Pod or Printer(DaHeck?) or the guy across the street who has a Creative Labs ZXR Super Sound Card that goes in a PCI-E slot.They all sound the same.Whatever I do from listing to music to play minecraft it sounds all the dam same.No differance.When I break a dirt block in minecraft it sounds like a dirt block breaking.

I don't get whyy people are all over these expensive headphones and these dum sound cards.

you aren't listening to low low lows our high high highs are you?

 

most sound solutions can handle mid ranges no problem, but tend to distort lows or highs at high volumes.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Sound cards are not needed nowadays.

But if you can't hear the difference between a 50 cents pair of earphones and a legit pair of headphones, you should get your ears checked out.

Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

There shouldn't be a difference between proper sources, and it's unlikely cheap products from computer peripheral companies sound different from dollar store earbuds.

Go to a doctor right now and have your ears checked. I notice a difference between two headphones at the same price range. I even noticed a difference going from a snapdragon SOC to a mediatek one with my sony headphones, the mediatek had a much shittier sound card. You are either trolling or need to get yourself checked.

I think people need to stop freaking out and telling him to visit a doctor. The products you mentioned are all fairly bad so yes they won't sound that different.

Are you going to elaborate on what the 50 cent earbuds are?
