lost45 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) I've been looking at getting a new pair of headphones as my old sony mdr-xd400's are starting to get a bit worn out. I've been reading every thing i can on the new wave of 5.1 headphones that are comming out. So far the only company I've heard of that can properly make a decen't pair of headphones that are comfortable, have no background buzz, and correctly reproduce the 5.1 channels is http://www.ltbaudio.com/ . I've been looking into both the magnum http://www.shopltb.com/catalog/product_inf.../products_id/49 and the Mentor http://www.shopltb.com/catalog/product_inf...p/products_id/5 Does anyone have any experince with either of these headphones? How would they compare to a pair of stereo headphones like the SENNHEISER HD 280? Edited January 8, 2007 by lost45 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeeD Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) I had a pair of LTB 5.1s (actually, three) and the first pair lasted for about 1 year, then they started to become distorted. I RMAed and the mic didnt work on the second, but they sounded fine. The third is the pair that Ive got, the plugs are too far to fit in my X-fi side by side and the bass has a little distortion. My oldest pair were the best when they worked. A pair of regular stereo headphones are going to sound a lot better for the money. The 5.1 in the LTBs did work, and it worked well. I definitely had an upper hand in CS:S Edited January 8, 2007 by SMeeD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost45 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I'm somewhat interested in a comparison between the magnum and the mentor. The mentor sells for quite a bit less, seems to be a new model, and i'm told is more comfortable. The only downside to it i can see is the lack of a microphone. Where as the magnum has a built in mic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinejunkie Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Although much more expensive you might wanna give the Razer Hp1s a look. They're easily the best sounding and most comfortable headphones Ive ever owned. The sound quality when listening to music is amazing and gaming is just a whole new experience. I also had the opportunity to try them with my friends AC-1 car and with that card they are just put on even a higher level of overall clarity and quality not to mention and immense bass boost (they have pretty sick bass on their own).

LivingGhost Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I got like $80 LTB's, and they sucked. Sound quality was bad, build quality was bad, and they got stuck in my hair (I have short hair...). Honestly, this wasn't too long, and I think looking for other alternatives would be better... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anything but great reviews on sound quality and comfort about LTB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
