Replacement DR150's - keep or not?

I might have solved it actually - on my X-Fi if you enable mic monitoring via the X-Fi console instead of Windows, there's hardly any delay. It's more like a slight echo than your voice lagging.

Goes off to test NS1000s in L4D...

Oooh intriguing.

My voice isn't loud enough from my desktop mic unless I have it right to my mouth.

.

Game audio completely overwhelms is so would still get shouty. I guess I could fix it by messing with levels though.

I found a clip on mike to be better than a desk job, though when playing MOH i do still tend to shout a bit,

. The sound in that game is awesome, best part of it tbh.

My DR150's arrived this morning, tested them out for a good hour on wow and with some music, using the xonar DG. I've never heard anything like it tbh cosidering I am used to onboard sound and a puny little £10 headset.

I am really impressed and I am hearing sounds so clear that were never there before, this is really awesome. Also the build quality of the 150's seems really nice. I don't have a massive head so cannot see myself running into problems with the cracking later on in life. Over the hours use they were so comfy i forgot i had them on haha!

Outstanding! Always great to hear someone who enjoys the difference going from cheap headset to decent headphones.

My headphones are closed atm so i do shout some, but its not that bad now (kids & wife got used to it at night).

I think I may ask for either set for xmas
