I'm wearing a pair of Sony MDR-V6's right now. They were about $70 at Fry's and they produce a very clean, rich sound. Supposedly they're "for digital," but I don't think that really means much. They're still analog headphones.

Check out some Sennheisers at Newegg.

Koss' KC50 or KC35 is supposingly supposed to be realy good for its price. I'm wearing the kc50's right now and they're great. They were only $10 at amazon the time i bought it. Great sound quality, great bulid quality, lifetime warranty, and 10 bucks!

are those kinyo's digital?

also are the senheisers digital also?

no headphones are digital you can solve that one very easily

for the money its either the 497's the v6's or the grado sr60's take your pick. they are completely different from one another.

if you ran a digital signal through the headphones you would get some very interesting sounds

Maxvla · Jul 7, 2003

for that matter sound itself is not digital.

sound is a vibration of particles of matter.

that certainly is not digital as in 1's and 0's.

my HD497's sound just as good (If not better at some things) and are far more comfortable for wearing for days at land parties

Here's a bunch of headphone reviews.

The link may take a few seconds to load, but the link does work.

The HD497's rank very highly there, as do the Grado SR-60's.

People love the sound quality of the SR-60's, but they think that they are ugly and uncomfortable, and everyone around you can hear what the headphones are playing.

People also like the sound quality of the HD497's, though not quite as much as the SR-60's. The HD497's aren't as uncomfortable as the SR-60's, but they are more bulky. The HD497's are also about $20 cheaper than the SR-60's.

the sennheisers are the most neutral of the group. both the sony's and grado's are geared a little more for popular music and don't perform quite as well on other formats (jazz, classical, etc) as the senns.

my opinion. do with it what you please.

the reason im saying i want digital headphones, is because

i have an abit nf7-s and i want to game with the digital, and not the crappy analog apu

if theres no digital headphones, are there ones that can runn off the digital signal, sorry if my questions are confusing, or if im getting confused

if not i might just get some 5.1 speakrers

game sounds are digital because they are produced by the computer. otherwise playing a tape or record is analog because the medium is not digital.. its magnetic or mechanical.

the digital thing is just to confuse people into thinking its better. what the digital on your card is referring to is when you have a 5.1 system capable of processing the dolby digital signal the card sends the un decoded signal to the sub which has a 5.1 decoder which divies up the sounds to the correct speakers. usually this results in cleaner sound than if you were to use the same speakers with the analog outputs.

(most 5.1 speakers do NOT have an onboard 5.1 decoder, you would need a set of logitech Z680s or the upper line of Klipsch for example)

IceMan3928 · Jul 8, 2003

If your set on using the digital output with your headphones (there is absolutley no reason too), you will need to buy a signal processor as a go between from the computer to the headphones. Save yourself the trouble and plug it into the analog port
