@west hornet are they not a great headset? I'm so jealous i need help

west hornet May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

yeah I really like the silver color, but black goes more with my setup so i got black

real galleon May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

They're not good for gaming @brisk parcel

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

I don't wanna game on them

real galleon May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

It doesn't look like they got an adjustment for the mic tho

#

I stream a lot so that's why

west hornet May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

I love the hd6xx, has a great open sound stage, very clear, the bass isn't too overdone but still feels comfortable

real galleon May 8, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

I'm using the scarlet

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

I have a scarlett solo I use for my AE guitar

west hornet May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

it's a headphone tho not headset

real galleon May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

Oh

I have my at2020 for that

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

and I use the G6 for sound most of the time because of the sound and yeah I know

west hornet May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

I might get a scarlett soon

#

i need a new interface

real galleon May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 2:59 AM

stopppp the jealousy overload is real

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

would you recommend a separate dac including my AI?

#

or is the scarlet okay by itself

#

I like my sound really neutral lol

west hornet May 8, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

That is your preference really, I found my external dac to be better

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

HmmmMMm

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

tbh I'm not sure how I feel about the G6

#

direct mode would probably sound better with the 6XXs which I'm fine with

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

i like my audio and mic linked up tho

west hornet May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

the amp gave more of a punch to the sound and the dac just gave more overall clarity and detail

#

I actaully use 2 headphones lol

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

so wait scarlet is okay for listening right

west hornet May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

i don't know much about the scarlett

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

I do think it's a great sound card for the price though, has some nice features. Rudester idk honestly I haven't used mine for listening much

#

I can try and swap right now, I have both handy

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

I dont feel like it would be different

west hornet May 8, 2020, 3:02 AM

the evga soundcard looked interesting

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

if you're gonna go that route I recommend creative all the way

#

their external and internal cards are great

west hornet May 8, 2020, 3:03 AM

I have 1 pair on headphones for monitoring mic or doing audio editing and stuff, and one for listening

brisk parcel May 8, 2020, 3:03 AM

alright i've made my conclusion @real galleon both sound great, tbh there's barely any noticeable difference on my G6 or my scarlett solo. it depends on your use case at that point, but I would give the edge to the G6 ever so slightly

#

even on stero mode, it seems to have a little more breathing room

real galleon May 8, 2020, 3:19 AM

higher bitrate=better quality depending on the use case

from 60 to 144 is very noticeable

144 to 240

thats minute

unless you're a super counterstrike pro who needs every second of frame data

Pretty simple

But dont know what to get

what things are you looking for?

Or does it not really matter?

My current is the one the isp gives you

I'd assume spectrum then?

They always give you a router

Im in the US so some things might be a bit weird but we'll see

Up to 250 pounds

310 USD

Yeah I just checked that myself

wanton wagon May 10, 2020, 7:15 PM

Yep lol

I wanna just replace the ISP router is that possible

flat latch May 10, 2020, 7:16 PM

yeah that's pretty easy

wanton wagon May 10, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Sweet

flat latch May 10, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

I mean there's plenty of router modem combos out there, so you can still keep your current "all-in-one" type of system

#

and by that I mean, you're not replacing one router/modem combo with 2 separate things

wanton wagon May 10, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Yeah

#

Yeah

#

Ive done a bit of research

#

But is it better if you had 2 seperate ones?

flat latch May 10, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

not really, they're pretty much the same

#

at least from my research

#

I think you can have higher maximum speeds on a dedicated router

#

but for most things that doesn't really matter

wanton wagon May 10, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Yeah

#

Im just confused about setup

flat latch May 10, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

what's your current speed btw?

wanton wagon May 10, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Around 25 mbps, at night gets as low as 8

flat latch May 10, 2020, 7:20 PM

alright

#

I found a netgear combo that would work well

you'll have to go over it yourself to see if it matches everything you need

Don’t ask me for recommendations either, it’ll be all audiophile stuff, and Sam_ if you can get a pair of sennheiser PC37X, they’re worth it

#

They’re $120 though

#

Do you game in a quiet environment? Like your room or something?

i do

from what I've heard, the drivers in the new steelseries headsets arem't very good

I'm gonna recommend the PC37X to you too, it's good if you need to game but also want good sound for music

#

it is semi open-back though

last shadow May 11, 2020, 4:45 PM

are certain headsets better for gaming than others? like the hd6xx would that be worse for gaming than a pc37x

west hornet May 11, 2020, 4:50 PM

i don't consider any audio gear "gaming"

#

there is only good and bad audio

#

I say buy the best pair of headphones or headset you can get. headphones with separate mic is best

i already have a dedicated mic

west hornet May 11, 2020, 4:51 PM

anyone that can help me troubleshoot an audio problem I'm having?

I have dual speakers, plugged into my motherboards audio IO. and I plug my headphones into my cases front panel IO

usually unplugging my headphones will automatically make my speakers work, and vice versa

#

but this is the second time, where i've plugged in headphones, and the audio doesn't work, and now it wont come out of my speakers or headphones.

I think i got it figured out.

@wraith roost do u mind helpin me out with that too

ive been having audio problems with discord

i have 2 speakers plugged into my rear io

is there a way to fix that

yeah

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:54 AM

hmm, that is a bit strange, is this only recent

#

or has it been happening for awhile

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

for a while

#

if i plug my headphones into my speakers then my mic wont work but i can hear audio just fine

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

is your headset a headphone/mic combo? or are they both seperate?

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

if i plug my headphones into the actual mic in the io and the speakers and headphones wont work but my mic will

#

combo

#

they work when im on xbox but it doesnt seem to work for pc

#

idk where to plug them in lmao

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

ok does the connector end of the headset split into audio and mic? or do they both terminate at the same end

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

same end

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

ok so that's probably why, most if not all boards i've seen don't have combo ports

#

you would need a splitter

#

unless the headset came with a little USB thing, or if your speakers/board have a combo port

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

its a ten year old board so it probably doesnt

#

what would i do then?

#

with a splitter

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

basically it splits that single end into two, one for audio and one for mic

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

and i would plug them each into the io?

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

yup

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

and i would need to unplug my speakers too right

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

theoretically, i'm not sure lmao

#

do your speakers have a line out for your mic too? or just headset audio?

tired scarab May 12, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

only audio

brisk parcel May 12, 2020, 1:00 AM

yeah so you'll probably wanna unplug your speakers if you wanna use your headset then

ill try to find a splitter

might need a splitter

if it is only one 3.5mm jack

combo jacks don't work for both on many pc. they will only do one usually it prefers headphones over mic

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

i plug the headset into the port on he mixer

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

is the mic coming up at all in sound control panel?

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

no, but on my laptopp it comes up as Astro Mixamp Game and Astro Mixamp Voice

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

so it just don't come up on pc?

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yeah

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

you use the usb cable to connect to both right?

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yeah

#

i only use the optical on pc tho

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

what is the optical for

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

honestly im not sure

#

ill try it without one sec

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

I would try just usb

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

now i cant hear anything...

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

can you send a screenshot of the sound control panel inputs and outputs

#

it should work without optical

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

yeah

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

idk too much bout optical but it's an audio connection, some people i know use as a long distance connection

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

ok

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:23 PM

do you have the software for it?

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

no should i get it?

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

yes try installing it

#

it looks like you have the output set on the mobo optical output which is why you hear nothing when you unplug it, but i don't see output and input for the device through usb

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

when i install the software it says please connect an astro device

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:31 PM

do you have pic of the usb on astro connected?

ok

#

i tried every port, no luck.

west hornet May 12, 2020, 6:41 PM

hmm only other thing i could think of is go to device manager and see if you can find the device there

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 6:46 PM

no i didnt find it

i updated drivers too

i never got the sofeware on the laptop bvut ill try

gimme a few

#

i did it!

#

i used the usb cable that came with the headset

#

that worked for some reason

west hornet May 12, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

oh were you using a different usb cable?

rain bobcat May 12, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

yeah

#

idk y that would make a difference but ok lol

west hornet May 12, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

yeah that could do it, not all usb cords are the same

#

as long as it works now, also the optical cable i see is for 7.1 surround

without optical stereo still work, just whatever you prefer 🙂

Should I get the Corsair K95 or the Apex Pro?

#

Dm your opinions

brisk parcel May 13, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

I was gonna say it really depends

#

tbh I think steelseries has better lighting, but corsair just has a better feeling to me

#

but in reality they're very similar, but I don't think the apex pro has macro keys

#

so if you really care about them then I would get the K95

#

@whole dirge plus the steelseries has a tiny little display if you wanna add a little customization. It doesn't have multimedia keys either, but it does have per-key adjustable switches

whole dirge May 13, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

I don’t think I would really use the macros and the Apex does have multimedia in the form of the button in the top. One press is play/pause, two is forward track, three is back track

brisk parcel May 13, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

ahhh ok

#

didn't see that

well then hey, I would go all in on the apex pro, good rgb is good rgb 🤷‍♂️

Sounds good 👍

wanton wagon May 13, 2020, 4:31 PM

Personally I don't like the apex, but it seems solid enough. Better than some big name brands because it uses standard keycaps

#

@daring zenith Did you get a new keyboard? I feel like I told you too or something

jovial scaffold May 13, 2020, 4:35 PM

I actually tried a set of double shot pbt hyperx keycaps on my apex and I liked the ones it came with better

wanton wagon May 13, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Well, I mean that the layout is standard. On some corsair keyboards they have a strange keycap layout that doesn't allow for third party keys

#

what is the difference between K70 RGB MK.2 and strafe RGB MK.2 ?

forest ivy May 14, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

@devout raven for that price you can get a Glorious GMMK fullsize hot swappable keyboard, then pop in some switches (like Kailh Jade Boxes), and some keycaps

#

you can have your own completely customized keyboard

#

just a thought

devout raven May 14, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

well dont think it will be delivered to me ... also there is no media keys :/

@brisk parcel @jovial scaffold @west hornet y’all got anything else to feed my insanity

I have a Logitech G600 mouse that I'm pretty fond of. Had it for almost four years. (So part of me is nervously wondering when it's going to die on me.)

brisk parcel May 14, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

it's gonna be hard to find a headset that's better than the 6XXs until you probably hit the $500+ range

#

they punch well above their price range

#

they're legit just a $200 pair of HD650s
