No, usually people get banned either for being trolls or for saying stupid things.

What do you agree with?

Sony MDR-XB700 reviews

http://www.head-fi.org/products/sony...phones/reviews

http://www.hardwarezone.com/review-f...ass-headphones

http://alatest.com/reviews/headphone...16579,74/#user

And numerous threads talking about them at headfi.

What youre trying to do is to force every person with a subwoofer on the trunk of his car to listen classical music, how can u not realise such an easy feat that sound can be prefered in different way, it depends on what people listen, how they want it to sound like and so on, nobody said that these headphones are better than a studio 5-80000hz headphones, but you cant expect to say that headphones with 30-50000hz is better than these in every single aspect cause u can hear all sounds from a song...

I am deciding if this thread has outlived it's usefulness or not considering the original question was answered long ago.

Oh, you mean these?

I believe those were the exact headphones I tried. I remember purchasing them from Fry's and bringing them home. Took them back the next day because they were awful. Bass was too boomy, drowned out other frequencies.

I apologize though, I meant "Extra" instead of "Xtra". But just so we're clear, that is the label Sony uses, not me. So in fact, I am referencing the correct headphones. But as usual, you dismiss everything I say for whatever reason. Looks like you've been corrected again.

I was simply clarifying my statement. It was not a "desperate attempt". I don't know what you're talking about.

And wether you like it or not, hardware acceleration is one big plus over your c-media and theres no way around it.

I agree, on paper, hardware acceleration is a big plus. But it's just not a viable solution anymore, hence why companies (including Creative) have dropped support. That's how it is whether you accept this or not. This entire thread, you keep bragging about a feature that's not being used and it's just silly.

I understand you have high dificulties in reading sentences straight but this is getting ridiculous.

Considering your grammar and sentence structure, you are the last person who should be arguing about reading comprehension.

10# DiRT 3 Hardware Sound
Dirt 3 by default has the Hardware Sound option removed. So, it would be better to keep it this way since the game doesn’t really support the feature.

Counter-Strike: Source DOES NOT use hardware accelerated sound. It uses the miles software DSP. Again, you are wrong.

And please, let's not bring up lists. I'll fill this whole page full of good games that do not use hardware accelerated sound.

This is probably the dumbest comment you've made so far. Did you just say Creative does not like or recommend their own products? And what the hell does my "computer programming" have anything to do with this? Again, you missed my point completely. Go back and re-read what I said.

Again, I was just clarifying my statement because you keep misinterpreting what I say.

I can't believe what I just read. LOL!! I think your blind rage is misguiding you. Either that or you're incredibly stupid.

I know enough. Nothing on an engineering level but certainly more than you think. You have the wrong impression of me, I guarantee that.

There is no "gaming card" anymore. It's a misnomer. Those days are over. Game studios are using their own in-house audio solutions. It's all software DSP's. All the processing is being done on your CPU. It's the logical choice. What matters with sound cards are specs like signal-to-noise ratio, analog circuitry and other choice features, not hardware acceleration or EAX.

Your bogus claim about STX's supposedly high CPU usage. You refused to submit any data or links to corroborate your claim. You also have been distorting the truth about hardware acceleration. How it works, its benefits and/or advantages over emulation, the popularity of enabled titles. I'm sure I've corrected you twice in this thread alone.

Until next time.

The Essence series has much more to offer than EAX emulation. By the way, it can emulate 1.0 and 5.0 also.

The Titanium HD does not "completely annihilate" the STX in sound quality. This is another one of your gross exaggerations. I don't care if it's your opinion, it's so far from the truth it needs to be challenged. Neither card "annihilates" each other. They are both comparable and well respected sound cards.

Your arguments have been invalid from the beginning. Some of what you say is nonsensical. I don't really know what else to say to you that hasn't already been said. You should take ROBSCIX's advice and move on

I think this thread has run it's course.
Nothing but arguments now, so it is closed.
