iskout Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) 2 years and you haven't replaced them, I do believe you should treat yourself to your own Christmas present this year. I would, but D5000's are so expensive it's ridiculous. I simply cannot afford them, even if I had a job. They're LITERALLY a month's rent. I only got them originally as a present from my entire family chipping in, as well as myself chipping in. I was pretty devastated when they were stolen. I might pick up a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880's, though. The Razer's aren't BAD by any means (especially considering I picked them up for $35 in a TigerDirect clearance sale), but they don't hold a candle to high-quality audiophile grade headphones, especially in the ear fatigue area. I'll need to pick up a new DAC as well. Right now, though, I'm more concerned with getting a new motherboard, as I'm going through Starcraft 2 withdrawals.

Oh damn I forgot your mobo kicked the bucket not good at all. The unfortunate thing about audio, once you spend a bit of time using something high end, it's hard to downgrade yourself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedosul Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 He doesn't need that when he has us though. I voted for graphics cards, but I'd be happy with SSD's as well. The only problem I have with memory, motherboard, and CPU giveaways is that if you win, it usually entails building a completely new rig or selling the stuff you won, unless it's compatible with what you have. ^ This.

I went from using those to a pair of Astro A40's, and I realized just how bad they are, ESPECIALLY considering their $200 pricetag. The Razer Carcharias is a solid pair, and they sound better than the A40's, but it's just not the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 When I said "crappy", I wasn't merely using that term because they were 2.0. I believe these are still the ones from my Compaq computer 12 years ago. Good point. I'd still take a good 2.0 set versus a 2.1 set...even though my desktop has a 2.1 set running on it.
