Hey Kyle! Put the before the links for the Massdrop requests, so people can click on it! :) P.S. Nice video and nice spotlight on the right products. Too bad we don't have them overseas. :(
+Matt McP (Matthew) thanks for the reply Matt! I went on massdrop a few days ago and dropped a vote for these, thinking it would be awhile before they released them again. Crazy they released them again so soon! I ordered a pair yesterday. Thanks again!
@Awesomesauce Network - How did you get the Windows Universal Driver for the Centrance Dacport Slim? And can you send or post the link? I filled out Centrance's online registration several times to have the link e-mailed, and they aren't doing it. If you have a link or can just upload the driver, that would be amazing! I bought several and can't use them on my Windows machines (just Mac) until I get the driver. Thanks!
DT 880 Pro sounds terrible and i love neutral sound but the high's really are crazy around the 8-10K mark its not just "slight" either i mean its a good 10+DB higher then the rest take a look at the frequency response its nuts.
Unrelated to the video but what would you recommend a first time PC builder do to prep? I'm going to be building a ~$1700 rig and wanted to know if there was anything I should know before jumping in.
Hello Kyle, I recently purchased beyer T51i ... and have paired with iPhone 6+.. Do you recommend these CEntrance DacPort HD.. If I need more cleared and deep immersive music.. experience... or dragonfly V1.2 or Audio engine D3... OR something better..???
Depends if you want it to be portable or not, if you want it to be portable I would recommend the Oppo HA-2. If you want it for desktop use check out JBS Labs or Schiit Audio
Yup, It was only just up yesterday. And I have already joined the drop haha. Only thing is the 3 meter fixed cable on the 533, which should still be manageable .
LiveforHM but i'm talking about strictly gaming. I have my Audio Technica m50x for music and I love them. But for gaming I want something with surround sound and precise sound stage so that I can feel really immersed in the game.
+Swing4gr8nessN8 I haven't use these for gaming but when listening to live recorded music and action or horror movies, these cans with the DACport slim have been splendid.
+Swing4gr8nessN8 These headphones will easily blow the Hyper Clouds out of the water. These headphones have a waaaaay better soundstage which is very important for gaming; directional audio is a big part. These also have all around better sound quality than the Hyper clouds. Only thing is, you might take you a while to get used to the sound signature of these if you come from bass heavy closed headphones
+Matt McP (Matthew) ok that answers my question. yeah i currently have M50x i use to play games. but I'm looking for something with a little more sound stage
I still prefer 880's for most games since their wider sound stage adds more immersion and better imaging. At the same time, the K7XX wins for games that have a strong music influence like Far Cry Blood Dragon or Hotline Miami.
To bad there is no EU warehouse. That means that we living in the EU means that we have to ad 21% tax and at least 10% custom fee. I cal it anti shopping fees.
All the little funny things you do/say are so dumb, but they makes me laugh so much. The wink just made my day. Your videos are incredible. Edit: I made this comment to early, the hilarity shows all throughout the video. So great.
Does anyone know of a real surround sound quality headphones? I'm not talking about virtual surround which is absolutely impossible to give you "surround' without visuals because there is no way to distinguish front to back with only 2 speakers (yes you can get virtual and have a cute little program that shows something circling your head and the visuals trick your mind into thinking a sound is behind or in front of you but if you played the same sound to someone who hasn't seen the visual they would not be able to tell the position other than left or right). I'm looking for a set that has at least 4 speakers so you can get actual surround sound and know if a sound is coming from behind you or in front of you.
I don't really like my k7xx that much and i actually prefer my dt880 over them. Yes they are lightweight but no, the "360° cup" thingy isnt really great. They still push under the ear. Also the K7xx sound awfull with the wrong equipment, i tried them on my phone and it was disgusting where as the 880 sound good nomatter what but better with better equipment.
My wife likes watching Kyle because he makes her laugh and she said she likes to look at him. I'm feeling a little threatened because that's pretty much all I had going for me....
I've used the K7xxs since late last year, I love them. My favorite headphones so far.
"Country still sounds horrible as usual." lol on point.
laughs in take me home, country roads
I got these AKGs a while ago on their first batch on Massdrop. One of the best things I've bought, period.
i love the "helps me alot" mini clips. please make them back
By far the best RUclipsr. Best.
I was just part of the last drop that just ended, Can't wait to get them
Great review! Always nice to see someone pushing for people to buy DACs and move away from crappy motherboard audio...
I have these headphones and I can agree they are truly amazing well worth the $200
who writes your script? it is too damn funny besides being super informative.
+Felix Gijón my melon seams to think so
+Felix Gijón its script Kyle, i think he hired him a while back
At 2:56 he calls his DT 880s his daily drivers, pretty funny considering they are literally headphone drivers
that bit in the beginning about his wife and then the wink was awesome.
Why does this Channel have only 100000subs iTS so professional! Deserve 10000000
Always so good reviews.. Love your videos!
Great video!!! The melon bit had me laughing pretty hard. Great B-roll too!! Keep it up man, loving the content!
Love the super audiophile background music
:^)
You're awesome! Love your video's and your style!
Great video Kyle! Keept smiling the whole time :) funny but still stays relative. GGWP
Ahh yes the fractal josh pie linus in the face shirt, a true classic
if you take the black casing off, it would be sick if laptop manufacturers incorporated the dacport slim into laptops
Great video as always and welcome to the AKG club, where all the cool kids hang out ;-)
"Larger cups sizes are just better for everyone" 2:24 best xD, so freaking right
DT 770 PRO, i love the closed back. Lost in mine headphone master race :P
0:36 how long did it take you to get that shot....
Nice, quality videos! Those headphones are almost bigger than my face! No joke!
+Screamer because your face is so small ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I NEED A HYPER THREADED OVERCLOCKED T=SHIRT!!!
Hey Kyle! Put the before the links for the Massdrop requests, so people can click on it! :)
P.S. Nice video and nice spotlight on the right products. Too bad we don't have them overseas. :(
+TekTick derp. thanks tek!
+Awesomesauce Network No probs Kyle :*
+Awesomesauce Network can you provide me the link for your intro template :3
I love your vids, you're so hilarious!
are larger drivers better (not including iems)
please can you do a video comparison between akg k7xx against beyerdynamics dt880.
Thank you
7.1 surround sound ?
Too bad these aren't still available... Maybe they'll release them again soon.
+RockyRhodes-30 They are available right now from massdrop. Only 500 up for sale and currently 128 people have committed to buying them
+Matt McP (Matthew) thanks for the reply Matt! I went on massdrop a few days ago and dropped a vote for these, thinking it would be awhile before they released them again. Crazy they released them again so soon! I ordered a pair yesterday. Thanks again!
dude. you HAVE to try the phillips fidelio x2. they are AMAZING for the price.
What do you think about the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm Edition?
@Awesomesauce Network - How did you get the Windows Universal Driver for the Centrance Dacport Slim? And can you send or post the link? I filled out Centrance's online registration several times to have the link e-mailed, and they aren't doing it. If you have a link or can just upload the driver, that would be amazing!

Do you think a 660 watt fully modular power supply is good enough for a high end pc build? Using a gtx 970.
i just got my CEntrance amp and i plugged it in it works do i need to download this driver? or is it for people who have problems with it?
can You compare with creative usb xfi? thanks.
song?
are these compatible with an xbox one or ps4.
+Rickey Tie nope
Ok. Well thanks for answering.
+Rickey Tie i think if you use something like the mixamp sold by astro gaming you could use these with consoles though i think its easier on the ps4
Thank you for a great review! BTW CEntrance company name is pronounced like "sentrance"
+CEntrance So sorry! I've updated the video with an annotation to correct the error. Great product btw!
+Awesomesauce Network lmao ahahahha
is fiio e17k can drive that headphone properly?
DT 880 Pro sounds terrible and i love neutral sound but the high's really are crazy around the 8-10K mark its not just "slight" either i mean its a good 10+DB higher then the rest take a look at the frequency response its nuts.
Looks like not so cool version of the +DIYPerks headphone stand
What headphones are really comfortable for around 130 US dollars?
Bose sound trues. They retail for like 170 but you can find them for less really easy.
+Christian Takkebos Audio Technica ATH-M50x you can get them as low at $119 now
+Christian Takkebos AKG K553
+Jaymes Stewart those aren't comfortable :/
+Christian Takkebos Sennheiser HD558, Thank me later.
what are the best cheap headphones to get?
"a truly customized fit for that lopsided melon of yours, as you can see here it fits mine rather well" (*dies*)
Unrelated to the video but what would you recommend a first time PC builder do to prep? I'm going to be building a ~$1700 rig and wanted to know if there was anything I should know before jumping in.
Witch headphonestand do you have?
Got mine today.. fucking amazing headphones. Get them, but don't forget to get an dac/amp!
+HardwareAddiction which amp is better for them?
+Peter Knight anything above 100$ should do it justice.
HardwareAddiction
maybe write some models? because I just have creative sound blaster z and it seems to me not enough
+Peter Knight I use Creative's E5, which is a portable amp. You can get their external one, X7, which is the desktop version.
HardwareAddiction
and no any problems with it? do u like the sound you got? what about bass?
Hello Kyle,
I recently purchased beyer T51i ... and have paired with iPhone 6+..

or dragonfly V1.2 or
Audio engine D3...
OR something better..???

damn, I use my headphones outdoor, now that my UE 9000 is dead. I seriously need something like this, but closed backs :/
The K553 seems to be good for a lower price too (a bit more than $100). It's on MassDrop.
Yup, It was only just up yesterday. And I have already joined the drop haha. Only thing is the 3 meter fixed cable on the 533, which should still be manageable .
Fostex TH-X00's doe... Ebony as well @_@
Le John use beyerdynamic dt770
Hey Kyle how would you compare these to the hyper cloud 2 for gaming?
It's more worth to buy good headphones and a clip on mic rather than a headset.
LiveforHM but i'm talking about strictly gaming. I have my Audio Technica m50x for music and I love them. But for gaming I want something with surround sound and precise sound stage so that I can feel really immersed in the game.

+Awesomesauce Network Awesome! thanks for the info!
Hey Kyle, what headphone stand is that?
+Rich Bordoni added link in description :)
+Awesomesauce Network Cool, thanks.
CEntrance makes great shit if you got the money you cant ever go wrong with anything they make.
Yeah WAN t-shirt... So cool :D
it uses 50mm drivers not 45mm.
larger cup size is of course better for everyone
Where is this white build I was promised? +Awesomesaucenetwork
November! Thanks for being patient :)
Wow so great for Australia woo
Nice Linus t shirt
the cheesy wink actually made me laugh
Yay he got married! His fiancee is now his wife! woo hoo Kyle! (I'm probably really late to this, aren't I?) Congrats man.
I read the title and was like, WTF is this video? Product names eh!
Decent as always though, Kyle.
Man i need new headphones but thats still too expensive -.-
kyle is freaking hilarious
the body language is strong with this one! lol
Am I the only one who lost it when they saw the melon wearing headphones?
To bad there is no EU warehouse. That means that we living in the EU means that we have to ad 21% tax and at least 10% custom fee. I cal it anti shopping fees.
This headset really looks like my Razer Carcharias.
All the little funny things you do/say are so dumb, but they makes me laugh so much. The wink just made my day. Your videos are incredible.
Edit: I made this comment to early, the hilarity shows all throughout the video. So great.
That Linus Shirt :D haha
It's not C-entrance bro, it's centrance
+Cris ah i got confused by the way they write their name. thanks for the correction!
+Awesomesauce Network LOL yeah, very welcome Kyle :) Love your channel!
2:25 😆😆😆😉
Ayyyyy
LinusTechTips shirt? Anyone else noticed that at first glance?
"Country still sounds horrible as usual"....Priceless :P
LOL THE FUCKING SHIRT XD

"Country still sounds horrible as usual"
I have to write this down for future quoting :'D
2:04, still LMAO :)
I still LOVE my ATH-M50X
ahaha man your jokes are soo corny but always get me bahah
I don't mean to be a douche, but isnt Dubstep a sub-genre of EDM? Great videos as always.
I don't really like my k7xx that much and i actually prefer my dt880 over them.
Yes they are lightweight but no, the "360° cup" thingy isnt really great. They still push under the ear.
Also the K7xx sound awfull with the wrong equipment, i tried them on my phone and it was disgusting where as the 880 sound good nomatter what but better with better equipment.
MrFloRolf Well obviously they sound better with a dac/amp. They are semi powerful headphones. You know That's not a bad thing right?
+1 for country dig
aaaaahhhh just leave me alone with my Hyper X (no mula) I'll buy one of your t-shirts tho...
WHATSUPPPPP GUYZZZ
Hope people understand why I am an AKG fan. :)
but this goes to 11
My wife likes watching Kyle because he makes her laugh and she said she likes to look at him. I'm feeling a little threatened because that's pretty much all I had going for me....
0:35 XD
I hope your wife doesn't watch your videos lol
"country still sounds terrible as usual" so true m8
"Country sounds horrible as usual" I know man I know
forget the fancy words, good or not....simple
+Tendai Dongo and price
