Listen to this person.

Video chat is very important. If they something like "I don't have a camera" or similar. Don't listen to it, if they like you they will spend the 20$ to get a camera. Not kidding - Link


Don't listen to excuses. Ever.

I'll try to keep tabs on everything but let me know if there are any errors or price updates. And as a side note, I'm actually getting downvotes for this? I can't see how there could possibly be a sane explanation for that.

EDIT: I've put everything new as of Jan 11, 4:00pm in bold. Also, check this post on RedFlagDeals for a great big list of deal

Gamecom 780.
These are actually amazing for their price.


I use these when playing most FPS and games with a lot of action, like Arma, Battlefield, Warthunder etc.


Getting a setup with high quality headphones and an appropriate soundcard is the next best step but that gets extremely expensive.

I for one enjoy most games with the digital surround sound and don't care too much to use my DT990 or M-50s. (I like using these for music and when I play games like Transistor or Grid).


I've tried quite a few other headsets that offer "surround sound" and even Razer's surround software, in my opinion this is the only headset I've found that actually gives the proper effect.
The mic quality is fantastic too and surpasses a "blue snowball" mic which costs ~£65

u/SaltAndTrombe · 15 pointsr/smashbros

This thing is compatible, among other adapters.

u/shadowthunder · 13 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Audiophile here.

First off, disclaimer: You cannot get BI4L computer speakers. Long-lasting (a decade), sure, but not BI4L. Computer speakers require an amp of sorts, which are notorious for not being BI4L. Running an amp separate from your speakers will not only exceed your budget for a decent one, but would be impractical for a laptop setup.

Okay, so don't get monitors. You can't get decent monitors however small for that price range. Computer speakers haven't quite had the opportunity time-wise to be tested for BI4L-ish (again, the internal amp) quality, but there are a few brands that are going in the right direction.

As Sloppy said, you don't want paper membranes in your speakers. Cloth, glass, crystal, or high quality rubber (but only for the largest of subs) are the ones for which you'll want to look.

First, a few warnings against some brands. In the market, you have a bunch of computer brands trying to make speakers and a handful of speaker brands trying to make computer speakers. The problem with the former is that, well, they don't know speakers.

Logitech excels in consumer electronics - keyboards, mice, joysticks, remotes - but their speakers suck. Yes, even the $400 Z906s. They're loud, they're easy to use, they're flexible (in that you can alter the output easily), but the sound lacks finesse in all three ranges - the bass is muddy, the mid-range is flat, and the tweeters pierce rather than sparkle. You may have heard good things about Logitech's "Ultimate Ears" headphones. Yes, these are pretty good, but that's because Logitech bought a higher-end headphone company a few years back. In any case, that expertise has yet to make it out of the earphones lineup.

On the other hand, you have high-end speaker companies trying to make something that sounds decent but fits in the roughly the same $100-$400 price-range at which people looking to buy nicer computer speakers spend.

Like everyone else, I'm going to warn you against Bose. Bose speakers sound okay, but not for the price at which they're sold. I could justify buying Bose speakers if they were 50%-60% cheaper. They're the Abercrombie and Fitch of speakers, if you will - decentish quality, but you're really paying for the brand.

The other big name that falls into this category is Klipsch. Their higher-end stereo speakers are pretty good, but their cheap speakers are, well, cheap. Their speakers in the $100-$200 range sound okay and are built okay for the price. Nothing special. Plus, they tend to be ugly. =P

Finally, the recommendation:

Here are Creative's GigaWorks T20s and T40s. IMO, the GigaWorks offerings hit the sweet spot in price, sound, and build quality. I've had the T20s for eight years now, and they still sound as good as the first year. They have cloth and glass tweeters and midrange, so they sound great and are quite durable. Rather than wasting your money on a muddy discrete sub, each speaker has a proprietary mini-sub in it. The smaller size means a tighter membrane, so it'll sound better, and there's two of them to make up for the lack of a separate subwoofer. The T40s are the same thing, but with an additional midrange driver on each side if you want a little more volume (though the T20s carry just fine for my smallish apartment).

Also, I got some money from amazon for sending in textbooks and I think I'm going to get a new monitor and possibly some speakers for when I'm not using my headphones. After doing a bit of research, I've landed on the AOC G2460PF and Logitech Z323. Anybody familiar with either of those?

u/mr_roo · 6 pointsr/Games

I wouldn't recommend any traditional gaming headsets, you would do better to get a good pair of headphones and a separate mic. Gaming headsets have good mics, but the speakers are almost always lacking compared to similarly priced headphones.

I've used many headsets from Logitech, Steelseries, Razer, Turtle Beach, and a few other companies, and anything from Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Denon, AKG, or the multitude of quality audiophile manufacturers, will give you far better audio.


Sennheiser makes the only really good headsets in my opinion, the PC350 and PC360, but they are expensive at around $200, and don't sound as good as the HD598's for about the same price.

Steelseries makes okay headsets, but are over priced for the audio quality. The 5Hv2 and 7H are incredibly comfortable, and the Siberia v2 are quite comfy as well (not if you have a large head though, I have 7 7/8 hat size and was fatigued in an hour). Also their build quality is very good. They produce very accurate locational noise, but be warned as Steelseries headsets have no bass at all at the cost of having very clear footstep identification.

I wouldn't even consider Razer products as their build quality is sub-optimal.

Check out: reddit.com/r/audiophile and reddit.com/r/headphones for all the info you want on good headphones.

Also www.head-fi.org/a/headphone-buying-guide is a good place to start.

For gaming I use Audio Technica ATH-AD700 and Zalman Zm-Mic1. The AD700's don't have a large bass presence, so bass thumps don't interfere with footsteps and important locational noise (which they produce very accurately). These are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever had on. The ModMic is also a very good mic option for any headphone.


Do a little research on the audio sub-reddits and you will find the perfect solution for your needs.

u/Armsc · 6 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Here is what I would do if you wanted good speakers for a desk. They are a bit big but should sound really nice. This also tops out your budget so keep that in mind.

  • Pioneer BS22 $97 with a Lepai 2020 $20. You'll probably need some wire and a 3.5 to RCA cable

    I would also look at some nicer computer speakers as an alternative. I know I'll get some hate for this but realistically if you want something closer to the $75 mark this your only option. Here are some sets I would look at.

  • Altec Lansing $85 - These sound great. Bass and treble controls are a great feature.

  • Logitech z523 $85 - These should sound good for just about any kind of music. It's not audiophile quality but should do a fine job.

  • Bose Companion 2 III $90 - I know I know...Blose. I normally wouldn't recommend them but they actually sound good for smaller speakers. If you want something that sounds good with no sub these are it. If you like EDM/Techno/Rap/Hip-hop these are not for you look above.

Can I suggest you a laptop that's cheap enough (with great performance) with an external camera? I just wouldn't rely on any built in webcam if you're that serious about it.

Edit:

Here's my recommendation! Get this G50 from Lenovo for $459 and get either of these cameras, Logitech C270 ($22.95) or Logitech C930e ($89.86). I've used both webcams, both great, definitely for the price too.

u/Iowa_Dave · 5 pointsr/3Dprinting

I've been getting great results with the Logitech C270 webcam.

If you break it out of the case you'll find there is a focus ring which allows you to manually focus and get really close to prints! The ring is glued in place but will break free with a firm twist.

I designed a quick and dirty case to hold the PCB. I was going to add a nice cover but I noticed the board runs warm, so I left it open. There are plenty of prettier solutions on Thingiverse.

I've had Plantronic's Gamecom 780 headphones for over a year now (purchased April 2013) and they're still going strong. When they break, I'm getting another pair.

It's a usb headset, with mic, and costs £45.

u/TimeTravellerSmith · 5 pointsr/buildapc

That linked set looks fine, although I would also look into Logitech's offerings in that price range. They're usually pretty good.

> are sound cards really worth it?

If you're an audiophile you wouldn't get a soundcard, but rather an external DAC/Amp setup. Since you're not an audiophile and you're not buying anything remotely close to audiophile outputs ($200-300 speakers/headphones on the low end) then there is no reason to get either a soundcard or a DAC/Amp setup.

Also, as a college student I'd recommend getting a solid set of headphones over a set of speakers. This allows you to block out your annoying roommates and prevent you from annoying your roommates with loud music or games. That, and they're portable so you can bring them when you go study in the library.^^^^^^which ^^^^^^you ^^^^^^should ^^^^^^be ^^^^^^doing ^^^^^^a ^^^^^^lot, ^^^^^^ya ^^^^^^slacker.

Two RAM sticks is still better than a single for that sweet sweet dual channel performance boost.... which isn't really that noticeable in day to day tasks or gaming.

For $50 speakers I recommend the [Logitech Z323.] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Speaker-System-Z323-Subwoofer/dp/B002FU5QM0/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504790455&sr=1-8&keywords=logitech+speakers) I use them in the bedroom for our HTPC. Great sound for the price.

Are you using a 1080p\60Hz monitor? I think budget may be better spent dropping the GTX 1080 and getting a GTX 1060 3GB (not overpriced) and adding an SSD. The SSD will help greatly with day to day tasks.

Yes, that should be enough room, though more is always better. Get rid of your furniture! That TV is going to get punched if you're not careful.

Seriously though, that is an adequate amount of space. Here is the official guide for setting up the best possible roomscale experience.

Your 3 sensors are going to be setup similar to how you have them now, with the third being directly across from one of the current two, like an L shape.

Throw down a small rug or mat in the middle of your playspace, this helps to keep you centered so you have a more tactile sense of where you are in the room (in high intensity situations, Guardian is not enough).

Consider looking into overhead cabling, it's around $20 and is super simple to setup. Additionally look into wall mounts for the sensors. 3M strips are your friend.

Check out Sensor Bounds to help maximize your sensor coverage. Check out Cable Guardian to help prevent cable wear (basically required if you use overhead cable routing)

Lastly, try out EchoVR once you have all of this setup.

Sorry to butt in, but this is what I use on my Wii U, and it works perfectly.

If you haven't made a choice yet, the Bose Companion 2 Series III speakers are phenomenal. They have built-in subwoofers on the back of each speaker that are surprisingly powerful and surprisingly high-quality. I have them connected directly to the back of my motherboard and they sound amazing as-is. No DAC required unless you really want to use one.

u/ColossalKiwi · 4 pointsr/headphones

The Samson Go is better and cheaper than both the Snowball and the Modmic. It's also tiny, so desk space shouldn't be an issue. Just throwing it out there as another option.

Also, if you just straight up don't want a desktop mic, no matter how tiny, then you may want to look into this BoomPro clone that has a 2.5mm connector to work with the HD598, M50X etc. I personally haven't used it, but people seem to be pretty satisfied with it. I have an actual V-Moda BoomPro (which you could use with the HD598 if you use an adapter) and it sounds better than the Modmic in my opinion and is also more convenient. Not to mention the BoomPro route is also cheaper. Just another option for ya.

The Modmic is fine, but it's also overpriced and bit of a bother. I personally think the Samson Go or the BoomPro/clone option is the better way to go, unless specifically want a noise cancelling microphone. Neither the Go nor the BoomPro would pick up the sound of your keyboard more than your voice, but they'd still pick up the sound of the keyboard more than the unidirectional Modmic would.

u/severianb · 4 pointsr/xboxone

Same experience with the broken earcup dangling by it's wires.

Comfortable headphones, decent sound and a slick fold up mic. Flawed design.

My solution:

Get a universal boom mic like this.

And a regular headset with a detachable cord like this.

You can of coarse mix and match and get whatever type of headphone and microphone you like. But this way, you aren't stuck with just "gaming" headphones, which are usually a bit lower quality.

It's also a lot slicker than the ModMic people stick on the side of a pair of regular headphones.

Just an idea.

u/Route66_LANparty · 4 pointsr/buildapcsales

I bought these a few years back. Turned me into a huge Sennheiser fan boy. The comfort and durability alone are notable. Add-in that the sound quality brings you into the realm of audiophile-grade and you have a huge reason to buy whenever they go on sale.

I have the 558 in my laptop bag for gaming on the go, a pair of HD518 for use with the Vive, and the Massdrop HD6xx on my main PC setup.

I've been wanting to grab another set for work, was hoping to grab the 598 and "complete the set." But this is tempting.

Hey guys! I know this just looks like a generic RGB battlestation. I recently just bought a house for myself, and was finally able to set up my own gaming room, and I wanted to show it off .I plan to eventually set up my VR stuff in this room somewhere. I know the photo quality sucks, but I don't own a camera, and my iPhone camera sucks.

Get yourself a decent USB microphone.

and check the headphone buying guide in the sidebar.

How much do you want to spend? I have the Logitech Z-5500 and it's an absolutely amazing system. It's discontinued, but from what I hear, the replacement is just as good, though maybe a little pricey haha.

People seem to have very good luck with the M-Audio AV40s:

LINK

u/TheRabbitBandit · 3 pointsr/audiophile

My friend had a pair of M-Audio AV 40s and the Dayton sub 1000. I ended up getting the sub as well because of clean the bass is. Inside the room it would feel like a hurricane and outside you could only hear the doorknob rattling. Perfect for the dorms. As for the monitors something from Audiengine or KRK would do well even without the sub.

u/mdeckert · 3 pointsr/WeAreTheMusicMakers

"Gaaarrrr!! you have to buy top of the line yamaha ones or you're stupid!"

"No I love my cheapie ones they sound so great!"

"You better get some isolation pads."

"I just mix on headphones, it works fine for me."

FWIW I went through a whole long discussion on this and ended up almost spending ~ $200 on these two things, but then I decided I should get something better if I'm going to bother buying monitors (I can't make a whole lot of noise currently so I was chopping for something small):

u/rhohan · 3 pointsr/pcgaming
u/homeboi808 · 3 pointsr/audiophile

Here’s a speaker. The small driver is a tweeter and the larger one is a woofer (more accurately a mid/woofer).

Driver size determines at what frequencies it works best at. High frequencies (treble) are small and low frequencies (bass) are large, and best handled by small and larger drivers (respectively).

From small (high frequency) to large (low frequency):
• Super tweeter
• tweeter
• midrange
• woofer
• subwoofer

Bass below 20Hz is called sub-bass, so that’s where the name subwoofer comes from. Most subwoofers are 8” to 18” in diameter, and are almost always a separate unit, detached from the main speakers.

This is one of the most popular computer speaker kits, under $50 and includes a subwoofer (it of course is a toy compared to “actual” subwoofers that cost anywhere from $100-$3000, that’s not including ones for stupid rich people, there are subwoofers costing >$10,000).

If you have >$150 to spend, then it gets interesting, $500-$700 is end-game for most (say a Kanto YU6 and a Dayton sub-1200), a lot of the people here are not part of the “most”, so they spend more money, but it for sure is diminishing returns.

u/roberts585 · 3 pointsr/projectors

Honestly any Amazon cheap ass speaker is gonna sound way better than projector speaker audio, even "cheap" speakers will sound way better. Look at these Logitech Speaker System Z323 with Subwoofer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002FU5QM0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_U8FVBb9D3FSS0

It's 45 bucks, stereo speaker and a sub, you can plug an auxiliary cord in to play music or a Chromecast audio and boom. This was just a quick Amazon search and I'm sure there's better options for powered speakers as these really are made for a computer but just showing g you that you really can get a cheap setup and it won't destroy your bulb life when you just want to listen

To answer your question no there is no way to get just audio out of the projector, best bet is to just throw something on the screen to enjoy, but honestly just splurge for a cheap powered stereo setup.

u/georgesanders · 3 pointsr/vinyl

these aren't great but they're powered and good enough to get you started til you can upgrade later. I used mine for 6-7 months while I first started in vinyl.

u/chadwick359 · 3 pointsr/hardware

So: you need some headphones:

Sony MDR-XB700:
Decent phones, popular because they've got good bass punch, but they're unbalanced towards that range. Should be fine for gaming, but they wouldn't be my first suggestion. Suggested because those big over sized muffs are pretty comfy.

Sony MDR-SA1000: Hot damn I remember these. Great phones, comfy for long wear, easy to hear through, but easy to drown out the world by pumping up the volume a little bit. Fairly balance range response, decent sound stage, good pricing.

AKG K 701: I shit you not, these headphones have caused my girlfriend to have an orgasm. Quite possibly the finest piece of audio gear I've laid ears on, but there's a catch. You can't get orgasm-inducing sound out of them without an amp, they're just too power hungry. Though, an amp would help any of these phones. I would consult this review for a decent explanation of the amp situation.

For Microphones, I've had two of these: good audio quality, and while not good enough for audio sampling, they are great for voice comms. Personally I think that desk mics work better, since most players seem to have a hard time keeping their heatset mics from rubbing all over their faces.

Edit: Link's 'n shit.

if she will be gaming on a Wii u you will need a capture card or a capture device that plug in via usb.

I recommend a good webcam like a Logitech HD C310 or Logitec HD C920

for a mic I would recommend a good dedicated mic, something like this or if you want your kiddo to feel like a professional streamer without breaking the bank, then [this](https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Broadcasting-Microphone-Adjustable/dp/B00XOXRTX6/ref=sr_1_8?

Other then that, I would suggest grabbing the open broadcasting software to use to record her videos.

I do book reviews, but I also do visual book reviews on YouTube. I do this for fun, but I also do this to help me one day on a resume. I want to be a librarian. I have for a very long time. When I am able to get back in school, its what I will be studying for. This camera might help. It's not even a full 100, not even close.

It would also help boost my self confidence. I am a very shy person in real life, and doing BookTube reviews has actually helped me get out of my shell.

I know there is a lot more people who could use it a lot more than I could. I think I was more posting this not just for the contest, but to kind of keep pushing myself to keep doing it.


Thank you for the contest. :) And the unintentional boost.

I think showing button presses and maybe having a "hand cam" can be super helpful to making sure what you are talking about makes sense.

This one of SSBM Tutorials older videos, but is I think a good guide line for beginning to make tech videos.

u/queen_crumpetbum · 3 pointsr/GirlGamers

I haven't recorded any videos or streamed on youtube but I have been streaming on twitch this year. I only really stream Nintendo switch gameplay. All I needed (I already had a good pc and 2 monitors) to buy for the set up;
Elgato game capture hd60 pro which I needed to link my switch up to the pc.
logitech c920 hd webcam but webcams aren't always needed for streaming - loads of cool streamers who don't do webcam and still do well with my personal fav being dreamie pop on twitch
blue yeti microphone

That was enough for me to get started and although it can be quite intimidating and weird at the start, keep going. Especially with games like stardew because there's such a sweet stardew community on twitch. I would recommend hanging out in some of these streams when you can, get a feel for the way things work and make some friends!

Does the same job as the official one so I see no benefit in getting the Nintendo branded one. I think they stopped making it since majority uses wireless, and there's ton of compatible third party adapters. Plus you can use this on a laptop or various other devices.

With that small of a budget you're stuck in the realm of Logitech 2.1 PC speakers. A Logitech 2.1 setup got me through my college days though and I'm sure many others as well.

With your budget I'd get these.

u/blacketj · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Not all motherboards have a speaker built in. And in the case of ITX motherboards, I would guess none of them do. But I just looked up the manual for your board and it has a 4 pin header for a speaker. Looks like it is just to the side of the front panel headers (power/reset/hdd light).

You need to buy one of these if you want to hear any of the beeps. It would just hang off the motherboard, no need to attach it to the case.

u/PM-SOME-TITS-GURL · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Did your mobo come with a error code speaker?

If not no big deal, they're pretty cheap

If it did, and you've got it plugged in make sure it's plugged in in the proper place, most boards have a dedicated location for them separate from the header pins to avoid confusion.

If it's plugged in in the correct spot, make sure it's fully seated on the pins.

If all else fails, buy a replacement via the link I supplied or your retailer of choice, and plug it in. If it's still not working I'd probably consider it a issue with the mobo. Idk if you could RMA for something like that, especially if everything else that matters works.

u/gman877 · 3 pointsr/oculus

Yea man. You're not the first to have these issues. So, there are easy answers to both those problems.
I'd guess extension cables are needed for most setups, mine included. I don't understand what's different, but I've seen you need to get "ACTIVE" USB 3 extension cables to help prevent latency. They aren't much more expensive than a non-active type. ($10+ for 15 feet).
I have some regular 10 foot USB 3 cables... no problems

As for cable management - that'll depend on your room setup of course. Since you mention ceiling mounting, get some really long cables, and check this link. Just search amazon for "oculus rift cable management" or something similar. Plenty of options.

I was using this amazon mic before with the m50x. It sounded terrible. Reports from my gaming friends say it sounds much better. The noise gate seems to work much better too, as they cant hear my wife typing across the room like they could with the old setup. I'll do some proper recording samples and see what I can hear - will report back!

u/materix01 · 3 pointsr/headphones

Sennheiser HD598C or perhaps the ATH M40x or ATH MSR7 for closed headphones since you mentioned you'd need them for travelling as well.

This mic should work on them. Even a cheap clip on mic or modmic can work out(although it does mean having to deal with an extra cable and having them tangle). I'd be careful about buying something like a Yeti mic as mine sits in storage unused because I didn't realise it was so good at picking up noise from my mechanical keyboard.

u/rehpotsirhc123 · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Avoid gaming headsets, get a nice quality pair of headphones like Sennheiser 558s or Audio Technica MX40s and if you need a mic you can replace their cord with this to turn them into a headset.

u/SplodeyGoByeBye · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

I have no idea about what switches you want in the keyboard, so I'm just going to leave some good options right here. Pick for yourself.

As for a headset, this is a good option.

u/DwarvenLabs · 3 pointsr/DungeonsAndDragons

Not at all!
We currently use:
3x Logitech C922x Pro Webcams
7x 3.5mm Lapel Mics
7x 3.5mm to 1/4in adapters
2x Mini Audio Mixers
1x USB-to-1/4in Cable
1x 1/4in to 1/4oin cable

For video, we just use the webcams like normal.

For audio, we daisy chain the two mixers with the 1/4in cable, and plugin each mic to their adapters and into the mixers. Use the 1/4in to usb cable to capture the audio out of the last mixer, and now you have a dial for each audio line, but only one audio input device to your PC.

It's not the best solution, but it is way less expensive than buying the hardware video encoding and digital audio mixers would have cost (by factors of 10).

u/zetaridley · 3 pointsr/buildapc

So, the consensus on "computer speakers" is that they are in general garbage. What is considered really good quality to buy is referred to as "bookshelf speakers." something like this or this.

Somethings to be aware of is that there are power and unpowered speakers, meaning that you need an amplifier to use unpowered speakers. In this case, both that I linked are powered, but you should do some research on what you want in a speaker.

The reason while I linked the Rosewill ones is because you sound like a basshead, and those are pretty bassy speakers, so look into those.

In my experience, 5.1 and 7.1 setups are just cheap gimmicks. Think of it like this: Two quality drivers is much better than 7 different mediocre/shitty ones. Unless you're spending like 500 bucks on them.

u/ChiTownChronic · 2 pointsr/bose

Hello. So this mic wouldn't work? I was about to order this based off reviews that this cable allowed QC 35 to work w/ both PS4 and Xbox One.

u/Avera9eJoe · 2 pointsr/headphones
  • Reporting back. I love the Sennheiser HD 598 SE's. A lot lighter, comfier, and more open than the ATH-M50x. Returning them the next time an Amazon box is open nearby. It's my personal preference, but I love the HD 598's far more. I can also hear everything in my room as if I wasn't even wearing them. Don't be fooled either they have a good amount of bass themselves. The two downsides are that because it's so light it feels more flimsy than the solid as a rock M50x's and also I can't wear them in public without blanketing my surroundings in the quiet sound of whatever music I'm playing. If you plan on gaming with them then grab a pair of these as well as the 3 foot sleeved extension cable by the same company. The cord on those is painfully short.
u/Eatfudd · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

For anyone with the Sennheiser 558/598 locking mechanism on the cord, this microphone fits right in. I have it and it works great for about 20 bucks. I was considering a modmic but didn't want to shell out 50 bucks for one.

I loved the idea of ModMic / Antlion but hated the idea of 2 cords coming down from the headset. Luckily I found a good combo with:


Senheiser 558s

This microphone / cord replacement


So those headphones along with many higher end sets have a swappable cord. The mic replaces the cord, and has a boom coming out of it. Also got a shorty cord to use with my phone when I just want to use my head phones and head phones. The sound quality and comfort are waaaaaay better than any gaming headset I've owned.

Best option: Buy separate headphones and an attachable mic That will by far give you the best audio.

If you insist on a headset with a built in mic, I HIGHLY suggest the Sennhauser PC360 at just $118. Sound really damn good (same drivers as the Sennhauser HD595 headphones) and the mic is pretty damn good. Old gen and that's why they are so cheap now but still very very good. I've been using a set for a year now and love them. Unbeatable for the price. Sound can be beat with buying even better headphones and the modmic listed above though but will cost you a lot more.

u/Crimtide · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

If you want crisp clean accurate music, get sennheisers.

If you want bass and great highs, get beyerdynamic dt990

going that route you are talking far more than $100.. maybe closer to $200 total

get any condenser mic with cardioid setting.

in my honest opinion though, it will be hard for $100 to get any standalone combination that doesn't sound, fit, and feel better, than this gaming headset by Sennheiser, the PC360 - I have used this headset for 7 years, and to this day have heard nothing better for gaming. The mic sounds just as good as, if not better than, the majority of low cost standalone mics out there.

please for the love of all mankind don't go spending more than $100 on corsair, or logitech, or razer, etc.. etc.. Sennheiser is the only company worthy of marketing a "gaming" headset, at those price points.. they are leaps and bounds better than those others. All the other mics sound like garbage, and their audio is just flat and non-entertaining. They are expensive because of the brands, and/or the cool LED lights.

2 ender 3's are in the pic, The left one is called Yoshi and the right one is called Ironman. (normally yoshi has all blue parts and ironman has red. but i did some swapping around last few days)

I have 2 cameras a cheap one and an expensive one. as you can imagine the expensive one gives way better time lapses. this video in particular was filmed using the logitech c922.

logitech c922 is around $75 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK

and the logitech c270 is only around $20 - https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-designed-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6

The logitech c270 does 1280x720 however only around 15fps which is fine for timelapses but i like to check on my printers using my phone over wifi and the frame rate sucks. It can handle 30fps at 640x480 if you don't mind the resolution.

However the c922 i got handles 1080p at 30fps, i run it at 1280x720 at 60fps, which means i get no delay in the image when i watch it on my phone. plus it seems to be much better at low light level and focus.

I ran led lights around the outside of the strip and it gives more of a consistent lighting. about $10 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Waterproof-Holiday-Outdoor-Decoration/dp/B075R4X1XL

Logitech rebranded some time back, removing the eye logo and changing the text to a different font. I think it's entirely reasonable that they would want to redesign the device to reflect these changes.

FWIW, the newer C922x shares the same text layout, and there are ebay listings similar to yours.

Slight redesigns like these are quite common in Logitech products. The G240 mousepad, for example, went through at least four versions of coloring and logos without changing the model number.

u/Mrmitch65 · 2 pointsr/streaming

For a mic, I recommend a blue snowball, its easy to setup, sounds good and has a stand.

To be honest, I really dont think that a webcam at this early stage would be such a good idea but a good one would be a Logitech C922x

As headphones go, a pair of corsair void pros would be great and have awesome sound quality. The wireless ones are great, plug them in overnight and then play all day and you are good to go! But for simplicity, I recomend the wired version as then you dont have to remember to plug them in

I have this camera and can tell you that it's excellent.

This is the new model, and it's basically the same except for native h.264 compression, native 720p@60fps, background replacement, native autofocus.

u/Muttonch0ps · 2 pointsr/Twitch

I don't know if this helps much as this is a bit out of my realm, but this is the webcam I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXCDPPK/ I've had a lot of people compliment the background blur behind me combined with the depth (I still have to work on lighting)

u/BlackAera · 2 pointsr/edmproduction

Windows Stereo Mix is basically the "what you hear" sound. With Audacity you can record whatever windows is "hearing" meaning you can easily rip sound from whatever source online as long as you can play it back in some way. It's like Edison just not for FL but everything else.

You can use the unbalanced chinch connectors yes. With the headphone source switch you can change the output channel you want to listen to on your headphones. If you got your speakers connected to 1 and 2 that means you have to set it to 1-2 to hear the same output. You can either turn down the volume for the headphones independantly or you can switch to the other channel to shut them off.

Just get something like the Logitech C 270 for hassle-free voice chat. I use a webcam to chat and it's the best thing.

Or get a dynamic Shure SM58 mic and connect it to the interface :D

u/Egsession · 2 pointsr/Twitch

As everyone else has said--always go with the microphone first. Good audio quality is paramount to a good stream. If you're on a budget, I wouldn't recommend getting a Blue Yeti right off the bat. A lot of people think that the Blue Yeti is cruise control for great audio quality, but it requires a lot of work to get it sounding good because it's so sensitive.

I'd recommend getting a cheap dynamic mic as well as an audio interface. Those combined will be about 50 bucks--much more affordable than the Blue Yeti, and will be a lot easier to work with in the long run.

You'll also need a microphone arm, which is also why I recommend a cheaper mic. The Neewer 20 dollar arm is perfect for those starting out--if you went with the Blue Yeti, that same arm wouldn't work as well because the Yeti is just so heavy, and you'd need to buy an adapter because the arm isn't compatible with it right out of the box.

When you're ready to get a new webcam, I'd recommend with Logitech C270. It's only 20 bucks right now and you're able to stream at 720p without any issues. You're a small streamer, so you shouldn't really worry too much about 1080p--especially since even the bigger streamers only stream at 720p anyway.

I just bought my second Logitech c615, which I've used sparingly for years, but somehow lost in my most recent move. It's been fine for my purposes and is one of the models that WGU recommends. Although Logitech sells it for $70, it's $35.59 from Amazon and BestBuy, at least.

I can only recommend the c615 because I've used it, but the cheaper Logitech c270 looks fine too if you're really looking spend even less. It's available for ~$20 on Amazon, BestBuy, and Walmart.

EDIT: I saw the field of view for the c270 is 60 degrees, while the WGU required specs says it should be at least 70 degrees. The c615 is 78 degrees, and is one that WGU recommends anyway.

u/DeepFreeze180 · 2 pointsr/Darts

This $20 webcam will do the trick. Your built in camera might be good enough quality but I think you’d much prefer an external cam bc of the maneuverability.

You can start playing right away! The cam check approval is needed to enter tournaments- and yes, for that you need about 12-20 ranked games completed and then a mod needs to check it. “Ranked games” just means an equalizer or ladder match which is what most everyone plays anyway.

u/keypenboardcil · 2 pointsr/Guitar

Do you have a webcam? That's what I'm using to record myself so I can watch my hands and identify errors that need to be fixed. I've only been playing for a year, but a few months into playing I bought a $25 logitech webcam from amazon Logitech C270 and it's really helped me improve, and I can recommend this model. I just wanted to have something that would clearly show the strings and not get too blurred, which is the problem I had with using my phone. I also use it for skype calls and whatnot, so I consider it a decent $25 investment until I get better and want "real" recording equipment. If you want to see what the recordings look like on it, you can look at some of my vids:

>Is there any site that lets you cam for bitcoins ?

Not that I'm aware of. Why bitcoins? Is there a reason you want them as payment specifically, or is that just an option? Because only taking bitcoins will limit your pool of potential paying customers to those who know, understand an use bitcoins, rather than the wider population who use traditional currency.

Do you have any sites you're considering using? Or are you still working that out?

u/BJLurch · 2 pointsr/headphones

Location - UK

Budget - ~£60, flexible on price. Lower is also perfectly fine.

Source - Will be using them for Console gaming mostly but with a chunk of films and music also. So a bit of everything but mostly gaming.

Requirements for Isolation - Will be using them at home so no preference here, open or closed is fine.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over Ear / Circumaural. I have a large head and fairly large ears and will be wearing them for fairly long periods of time for gaming so large cans would also be preferable.

Preferred tonal balance - Not too sure, whatever is best for the things which I will be doing. Maybe a bit more on the Bass side.

Past headphones - I am new to the world of decent headphones so my past consists of the bog standard apple and in ear Samsung earphones etc.

Preferred Music - Fairly general taste in music, little bit of everything but probably favour R&b/Rap and dance/ electro a bit more.

Notes - I have spent the past week looking into getting a pair of headphones but I am still fairly lost as to what to get with such a huge variety. The AD700s and Senn 558s and other models above those are widely recommended but they seem to cost almost twice as much in the UK as they do in the US and so they are out of my price range which is disappointing.
Audio Technica M50s and Senn HD 518s can be had for around £80 but they are really pushing it price wise for me unless they are definitely worth it. Found some cheaper Senns like the 419s or the 429s but what is their quality like? Sony MDR-V6s are also another pair i have seen recommended.

Obviously for gaming I would pair these with a clip on mic of some description. something like the Zalman clip on or similar and a 2 to 1 splitter to plug into the DS4 controller. The dislike of gaming headsets is well known but never the less I have seen a couple recommended here and there and they are reasonably priced so it's not a total loss if they are useless: [The Logitech G430] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CJ5FPUE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2LHKRQNKZ0EPX&coliid=I1XWGCGB108WMV) and the Plantronics GameCom 780.

PS4 will likely be my console of choice that I will be using these for if that makes any difference. I have seen lots of talk about surround sound in relation to gaming headphones but a lot of it seems to be for PC, will it function properly on consoles too? does anyone know if the sound would be impacted if I was to plug into the controller jack or the USB slot on the console?

Thanks in advance.

If you're using a pro-controller/ wired fight pad etc you won't be able to use it in locals/ tournaments because they are usually banned [due to accidental reconnects] as these connect into the wii's controller.

If you're using a gamecube controller [i highly recommend], you need an adaptor. I also suggest you get official game cube controllers, as off-brand/ knock-off ones wear out very quickly.

If you're going to be playing only w/ friends or randoms, you'll require and ethernet-usb adaptor [+ some cat5 cable]. You don't need a nintendo branded one, just get one that supports wii u [not all do]. having a fast wifi hub right next to your wii u is unplayable. you need wired connection.

Bose Companion 2 speakers for the dots around the house (office, basement, etc). I like them because they are always on, better sound than echos, and are the right price ($60-70 used). I tried bluetooth speakers but I hated constantly reconnecting the speaker, and this way I can do whole-house audio streaming.

For my main living room I have a dedicated dot connected to my Onkyo LS3100 which also doubles as my TV speakers. However these take a couple seconds to turn on as there is an automatic power-on/off feature (great for TV but not so much for asking alexa questions), so this is mostly just for the whole-house music streaming.

it's unfortunate that you don't have a speaker dongle to check for beeps. The standard operating procedure when you can't boot far enough for screen output is to just remove everything until it does. So, no usb stuff including keyboard, no hard drive, no gfx, one stick of ram.

If that doesn't light up, you can try clearing the bios with the CMOS CLEAR jumper (don't forget to put it back afterwards).

Does the case have an HDD light? It's usually red and connects to the motherboard jumper block the power switch and power led connect. Did you unhook the power for video card and not plug it? The reason I'm asking about the HDD light is that if the light is blinking then that means the system is still booting and that CPU/Memory/Motherboard is still working. Is there a speaker hooked up to the jumper block that I mentioned earlier?

If you have one then you should be hearing beeps. Those beeps are morse code like and you can look them up in the motherboard manual. Also did you try what u/Swissykin said? Turn off power supply switch (or unplug) what until power led on motherboard turns off. Pull battery wait 2 min then try it again.

I don't really want to spend 50-60 bucks on a mic, so I was going to get the v-moda mic but apparently it doesn't work with the m40x's because of the jack that the headphones use.

u/thefrencharmy · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

m40x with the HM5 angled pads is quite decent.

Modmic 4.0 is not as good as the boompro mic, and is still pricey at ~$50.
If you are using the modmic 5.0, it'll work pretty well, but it's pricey at $70.

Instead, look into this mic that plugs directly into the m40x, without any mods, for $20. This mic's quality is slightly worse than boompros, but fits directly.

To use the boompro mic with the m40x, you can remove the locking mechanism and then buy a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female adapter and voila, you can plug the boompro into them.

Zeos over at /r/zeos highly recommends the m40x, so take that for what it's worth

The R8 must have line level outputs. The speakers are almost certainly passive. You will need to connect the R8 to an amplifier to drive the speakers -- or use powered speakers which have their own amp.

What is the make and model of the speakers?

[EDIT]
The R8 has balanced audio outputs using a 3 conductor TRS jack. Many powered speakers have balanced TRS inputs. Here is an example:
http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Studiophile-Powered-Speakers-Previous/dp/B000MUXJCO

I have never owned a stereo amplifier with balanced inputs. I don't know how hard they are to find. Are you using a computer with this? It might be better to drive your speakers from the computer (with an amplifier).

Just to be sure, the R8 won't drive your speakers directly.

For powered speakers in a small room, I recommend M-Audio AV-40's. They will do quite well in any room under 200 ft^2. or so. Bigger than that, and you should really look at full size unpowered cabinet speakers with an appropriate receiver.

If you are really willing to make an investment, I will recommend the Sennheiser PC 350 http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-350-Collapsible-Microphone/dp/B0012XFDWO

Amazon has them listed at $149 down from $229.95

I've had mine for about 6 months now and they are a dream. They extremely comfortable. I forget I am wearing them. They also have excellent noise cancellation [CAUTION: I have missed phone calls while wearing these]. The audio and voice quality are also excellent.

Good luck on your search!

u/tombibim · 2 pointsr/gaming

I've used these: Sennheiser PC350 for a number of years now and it's easily one of the best purchases I've made. I can wear these things all day and not even notice. They actually fit completely around my big monkey ears too, and are very comfortable. One review I read mentioned about them feeling like the loins of Jennifer Lopez, and while I don't know if its true, they are really comfortable.
As far as the ones you've listed, I've heard good things about those two Logitech headsets, and like most other people have said, I try to stay away from Razer.

Edit: Going to add that I've had these Sennheiser PC350's since October of 2008, and while working from home and extensive gaming (multiple hours a day easy - forever alone) they haven't failed on me yet. Comfortable as hell, and the wire connecting to the PC is actually a lot thicker than other wires. I've ran over it plenty of times on accident and haven't put a dent in it.

u/jaearr · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Gigaworks T20's $64.97 would probably be a better choice. If you want to keep close to $30, the Inspire T10's $39.74 would be twice the power of the logitech's at 5W per channel, but the Gigaworks are 13W per channel. It's really hard to find a decent 2 channel speaker set.

I have the T40 and I love the way they sound for a 2.0 setup. They aren't overly loud, they won't blow you away with quality if you're an audiophile, but for 99% of people they will sound fantastic. The T40s do take up a decent amount of space, but the T20s are a little smaller. I like their look, which isn't over the top and flashy, but subtle and blends in well.

u/elephant_chew · 2 pointsr/rocksmith

I do the same, high volume on good headphones. I think you're right because now that you mention it I always turn up the volume for rocksmith about 40% higher than anything else, but never really thought much on it since I have amplified computer speakers. Here's the easy guarenteed fix.. Simply get a pair of decent-to-good powered computer speakers like creative t20s (about $100) and put them between your pc and your headphones. That's exactly what I have and I only go 2/3 of the full volume capacity before rocksmith blows my ears off. Its awesome and totally worth the investment.

Also always disable loudness control settings when playing rocksmith. It doesn't sound right with it on. You will never get your guitar and the backing track to be in a steady constant volume level to each other, as it will automatically change them to mix "evenly" (what the computer thinks is even). I adjust the rocksmith track and guitar volumes separately for every song I play. Sometimes I want to hear my own playing standout more like when I'm learning something new, and when I know the song well I like it to blend in so it's there but not obtrusive. I only use loudness when watching action movies because I like to both hear voices and not blow my neighbors away with explosion sounds.

u/perfectd3 · 2 pointsr/battlestations

Okay, that's wonderful news. I had a client who was looking at the GX pair, and I figured it was more of the looks than anything that got him hooked onto them. I ended up steering him towards the Creative Gigaworks T40's. Although they don't come with a sub, they're pretty damn good quality speakers for non-studio monitors. That would be my recommendation if you want to replace the speakers, and if you could keep the sub with the T40's, that would be even better. If you want to save a little money, even the T20's are great speakers. Highly recommend them to anyone.

u/SyntheticBlood · 2 pointsr/battlestations

Here you go.

I just got them today as a gift from the girlfriend and I love them so far. I was borrowing a cheap 2.1 system from my friend, but these surprisingly have better bass, even without a sub woofer. The sound quality is fantastic for the price range. If your interested in buying them I would check out camelcamelcamel.com and wait for the price to drop. I noticed it's $90 now. I think they were $60 when she bought them.

u/JDM12983 · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Unless you are looking for a specific setup/sound quality; get a good 2.1 speaker setup (two speakers and a sub woofer).

I personally have Logitech Z323 30W 2.1ch ( https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Speaker-System-Z323-Subwoofer/dp/B002FU5QM0/ ) ; and sound great to me.

Now, I used to have 5.1 surround setup; but they are hard to find for PCs now a days and seem to cost a lot.

Just my thoughts.

u/simplyclueless · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

How much do you want to spend? For $100, this one has multiple analog 3.5 inputs, so you can run a cable right from the echo dot and a cable right from the PC. Both will work simultaneously.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VAHYTG

Here's a lower-end one for $45, similar functionality. Multiple analog inputs, will allow you to connect both the pc and the echo dot.

u/TheCravin · 2 pointsr/macsetups

A friend of mine uses these, and they sound pretty good for the cost. Obviously not studio monitors or anything, but Logitech seems to do a good job of having pretty well balanced and not-too-tinny sounding speakers in this price range. There are a few other 2.1's from Logitech at varying price points, these are just the only ones I've heard personally. Obviously there are tons of non-Logitech 2.1's, but they seem to be good all around speakers, without getting into super high audio quality price points.

Don't buy headphones.

OR

http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ/ref=pd_sim_e_1

Cans: Sennheiser 555's or Audio Technica ATH AD-700's . You can get 555's slightly used for $50, a steal at that price.

If do you get 555's, you can do an easy, risk-free upgrade to make them into $200 headphones! Yay capitalism!

Now go buy them because no one will offer better advice.

u/tEhKeWlEsT · 2 pointsr/gaming

My recommendation, for PC at the very least, is to avoid "gamer headsets" altogether. Generally what you are signing up for is a sub-par set of headphones attached to a sub par mic. What I did is research some of the best headphones in the business and matched them up with a very serviceable microphone. This setup has worked great for me and the sound and voice delivery quality has been head and shoulders above any "gaming headset" I've owned. Here's the setup that I use - you can go much more expensive or much cheaper, but this works great for me.

u/thadrine · 2 pointsr/rpg

Face-to-Face is still my preference, but with modern tech (Dual monitors, video conferencing, document sharing, and of course virtual table tops) it works out rather well.

I would recommend a good mic, a webcam, and pair of head phone with a long cord. Head phones and mic are an absolute must.

u/tuttley · 2 pointsr/dayz
u/squidwalk · 2 pointsr/tf2

I've been using this one for over 5 years now. It's good enough for video chat and all my games. $20.

u/gh5046 · 2 pointsr/homesecurity

What you want to achieve? Will it be full time recording, motion detection, for weather monitoring, or some kind of time lapse situation?

Since you have a PC in the room you could just get a USB webcam. You could use USB extension cables (up to five meters or 16 feet) if the computer isn't near the window. This Logitech camera reportedly works well in Linux.

If you want a full blown camera take a look at Foscams and UBNT AirCams.

The Foscams can be had for less than a hundred bucks on Amazon. This one can do 720p for about $100. It has remotely controlled pan & tilt features. A warning about Foscams, however: From my personal experience they need to be rebooted a lot and have lots of bugs. They are inexpensive, though.

UBNT AirCams go for around $100 and use Passive PoE (power over ethernet). Passive means there's no active checking for PoE support (not 802.3af or 802.3at compliant) it just injects power into the line continuously. The cameras don't have any zoom or pan & tilt features, but there is the airVision NVR product behind it. It's a pretty nice NVR product. This particular airCam would probably suit you nicely. Check out the UBNT airVision forum for more information.

ZoneMinder is a free software based NVR that can do both full time recording and motion detection recording. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it's powerful and free. It can be used with any of the cameras mentioned above.

Beyond that just take a look at security or USB cameras on Amazon. You may find better or cheaper options.

If you are a Do It Yourself kind of person check out the Raspberry Pi. There is an active community here on Reddit for the Raspberry Pi. You can find several guides via a quick google search for setting up one to use as a security or weather camera.

Edit: Just to mention them, there are other NVR (Network Video Recorder) product available. Up on top of this list are the Blue Iris and Milestone software products. You can do a web search for them.

u/jbridgiee · 2 pointsr/Cameras

Unfortunately it's not as simple as buying a USB to HDMI converter.

^(However it might be in which case someone please correct me but it seems unlikely)

While it may seem like an easy solution the usb on that camera is very likely only meant to be a data port i.e only meant for transferring files from one to the other, meaning it cannot transfer a live feed purely from converting to HDMI because it would be like trying to open a word document with a DVD player, it's just incompatible. You may however be able to plug into your PC with the USB cable and view a live feed if you right click the icon in My Computer, I have no idea of this specific cameras capabilities however but in general this is how it works.

For Skype this is likely something you wouldn't have much success with but vlogging should be fine if you just transfer the video files via the USB cable to the computer.

As far as Skype goes something like this should suffice for what it seems you want it to do (but for vlogging I'd assume you'd get a more pleasant image from the camera rather than the webcam)

u/PostalFury · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Honestly? I'd use your smartphone (assuming you have one).

Otherwise, the C270 is still a decent webcam.

For lighting, just get a desk lamp. No quality webcam will have lights on it.

u/nolageek · 2 pointsr/obs

Honestly I think the more reliable, best looking option would be to get a couple of cheap Logitech 270s along with the macbook cam as the primary.

Two of these are cheaper than the $44 manycam license:
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-designed-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6/

And you could probably resell/return one or both of them when you're done and get some of the money back.

You may want to get other opinions though, since I'm not super familiar with Macs and using multiple cams like this.

u/Mrcharlieismad · 2 pointsr/Twitch

Not in any way that makes sense.

You could probably jury rig something using OBS screen capture, but it's really not worth the headache when you can get a 720p webcam for well under $50

I could be reading it wrong - but it looks like you have coaxial digital out (not optical). https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1212523/Element-Elefw328.html?page=11#manual

Wii can output analog video/audio (red/black/yellow looks like RCA) "out."

​

https://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/features/tech-specs/

​

Switch Dock has HDMI "out."

SO - perhaps, connect Wii to TV with analog video/audio.

Connect Switch to TV with HDMI.

Use headphone port on TV to get all your audio back out. These will work - and I have had them before, pretty good for price: https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R980T-Active-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B01LXDZ8WB/

Instead I would go with something comparable like these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B016P9HJIA/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/smithenheimer · 2 pointsr/oculus

Image of my VR space, currently using 3 hooks. Probably could have put more thought into my routing, but it's working pretty well for me so far.

Starting from the front left of my space, over to the back left, and then over to the middle so the cable comes up behind me when I'm standing in my "default" location. This keeps the cable stowed when I'm standing in the center, and there is plenty of reach to the far corners, and when I turn to my left it stays out of my arms reach. I also have a third sensor just off screen, next to my flag.

Hooks that I'm using, there's probably a cheaper set out there somewhere but these have done well for me so far. Disclaimer: haven't tried to remove them from the ceiling yet, not sure what kind of residue or damage they might cause.

u/BTsBaboonFarm · 1 pointr/vinyl

For $250ish, assuming you want new gear, do the following:

  • Turntable: U-Turn Orbit Basic - $179

  • Phono Preamplifier: Pyle 999 - $14

  • Speakers: Edifier R980T - $70

    It's just slightly above your budget, but worth the added cost. Absolutely do not skimp on the turntable! Can't stress that enough. That U-Turn is the cheapest turntable I'll ever recommend - it won't ruin your records, won't skip on dynamic passages, shouldn't have speed issues, etc; AND it will give you adequate sound.

    The Pyle phono-preamp is bare bones. About the cheapest you're going to find.

    You could just opt for cheaper computer speakers to get you under $250, but those Edifiers are okay for the price.


    But honestly, I'd encourage you to look for vintage/used equipment. A lot more bang for your buck in that arena at your price range.

From my experience $50ish has been the bare minimum for alright speakers.

I installed these ceiling hooks for my rift and it works very well. I used Command Velcro strips to attach them to the ceiling so they can be removed in the future without damaging the surface.

Det finns produkter specifikt taggade för VR på Amazon, men då lär du punga ut med nästan 500:- för produkt + frakt här: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XY5WKXW?th=1 - hittar ingen billigare. Hittade denna på Amazon UK, och den står taggad som "Global Store" vilket låter lovande, men väljer man Sverige som mål så säger den ifrån.

Yeah I checked it out again and it's more like $60 to do it correctly @ 16' with a repeater and ceiling mount. Think that $80 - $100 included extending the sensors.

Still it gets to the point that's it's enough money that I would prefer to spend more and have the headset wireless.

I have this one. Used once and has been sitting in storage for like years.

u/jake1825 · 1 pointr/Twitch

Hey! Welcome to Twitch!

This is a great idea for a school project! Here are some things to take into consideration:

You'll need a machine from which you'll be able to broadcast the livestream. A decently modern desktop computer will do (lets say an i5, 4GB RAM minimum and a GTX 970 or better if possible)

On that computer you'll need a broadcasting program. Heres a list of programs recommended by Twitch. Note that some are free and some are payware. It all depends on what you need. Have a look which one will satisfy all your needs (like the video playlist you mentioned for the pre-recorded footage)

For the external camera you can either do it by using a good quality webcam like the Logitech C920 or by using a DSLR and hooking it up via HDMI, using Elgato CamLink

Microphone is also up to you. You can either get a microphone which youll plug in via a 3.5mm jack or get a USB microphone. This will depend on the style of content that you'll be producing (like interview, voiceover, podcast etc)

Let me know if you have any other questions and keep us up to date if the project turns out well!
GLHF!

u/random4lyf · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Nice catch!

And following up on what Kraken said above.
A second HDD in a Raid 1 configuration, I would recommend just for the security in which if data is lost it can be recovered immediately.

And in response to the OP :

>A HD webcam for conference calls, in addition to a gaming headset.....so wrap around headphones with mic. I'm looking for an across the board black theme.

I use this Logitech webcam and have no issues with it at all, added bonus is that it is currently on sale for £57.

This Sennheiser has some good reviews, suits the black theme while also being 'wrap-around'.

But, if you wanted a Black Gaming headset - I currently use this one

There of course could be other choices, but I can personally back up the webcam and the second headset.

Sorry for being a little slow. Took me a little while to get it going. I have to thank you for filling out the form very well. It's awesome! Hopefully I didn't miss anything you pointed out. And I actually JUST read that you will buy in a month. I suggest to come back to here 2-5 days before you buy. There might be better deals or news out to perhaps get a different build going.

My rational why I went for this setup.

  • CPU: 6 Cores, 12 threads. 2011 CPU. This is a beast and overclockable.
  • CPU Cooler: 2011 CPUs get pretty warm. They don't come with a stock intel cooler for this reason. I went with an liquid cooler.
  • Motherboard: Nice black and grey colored motherboard. Solid audio and more then enough expansion slots for your needs. 8 USB ports (6 x 2.0 & 2 x 3.0) should be enough.
  • Memory: I went for a 4x4GB kit to make use of the 8 DIMM slots you got. Giving you the option to eventually add more GB if needed. I aswell took a nice looking set.
  • Storage: You asked for a 500GB SSD and 2-3 TB HDD. So I gave you what you asked for. I think it's best to stay with this setup until you need more storage. Then you just buy that extra 2/3/4TB of HDD and plug it in.
  • Video Card: No 780Ti. Why? Because it's way to much money for what you get in return. This almost half the price R9-290 stays insanely close in performance. AMD vs Nvidia titles (games) is pretty bullshit. Yes those games will run "better" on said brand cards. But how can you compare this? It's not like AMD and Nvidia got the exact same card. Even Nvidia titles, this AMD card will perform insanely well. You as well get 3 free games with it. And on higher resolution (1440p) it's a beast! 4GB of VRAM as well on a high speed bus. It's a monster of a card for the price.
  • Case: Best case ever. I love this thing, it's fucking amazing. I am very blown away by what you get for the price. Here is a nice review to make sure you like it. I know that the power button is at the top. But it seems pretty cat friendly.
  • Case fans: Because you want silence. I don't actually know how good or bad the Phanteks stock fans are, but I do know that the H100i stock fans are terrible. So don't use those and place 2 SilentWings 2 on them, in push. Not the best performance fans out there, but will do the job just fine. Then you can place 1 more fan at the back as intake and 1 as front intake.
  • Power Supply: I went with this one for a good amount of reasons. The system will draw around 500W MAX when stress testing the whole system. So why 850W? Because now you have the ability to add a 2nd GPU in and be perfectly fine. This PSU as well comes with a lot of features that is amazing for the price. 10 year warrenty, 80+ gold, fully modulair with nice all black sleeved cables. It's almost to good to be true.
  • OS: Windows 8.1 because it's a better OS then 7.
  • Monitor: Do NOT get an 27" 1080p monitor. The pixels per inch is very low and the image quality will be pretty bad. I suggest this 27" 1440p monitor for a couple of reasons. You don't play many shooters. So you don't need a TN, high refresh rate panel. 60hz is more then good enough. The colors will look a lot better on PLS/IPS compared to TN.
  • Speakers: I got myself some Edifier speakers (The M1380s) and was blown away by the quality of them. So I looked around on amazon and found these. From the one review I did read they seem very good for the price. + Free AMP! Wich is a nice bonus.
  • Webcam: I have always had a Logitech webcam. This is a screen shot (so not the best quality) of me taken with the C910. The previous version of the C920.
  • Case handle: I am sorry about your disability. I hope everything goes well with you and this build! If I lived in the UK, I would have gladly made this system for you. Sadly I am in Belgium. But after reading this I looked around to see if I could get some handles on the case. Found this video. I understand that this is something you can't do. But i hope somebody else is able to help you with this. And I hope this works out. It looks to me this seems possible, but not 100% sure. I only saw this case once and did not build in it yet, so I haven't looked at the top panel of how hard/easy it is to mount this.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.


u/Diamondandy · 1 pointr/Twitch

It all depends on budget.

Blue Yeti Microphone // c920 Webcam // Behringer Mixer


3 links to what you would need, if you have a decent budget, you might want to use an XLR microphone for your audio mixer, but then you would have to find a way to chat to people ingame (If you were playing CSGO for example).

u/SoTotallyToby · 1 pointr/Twitch

Logitech C920. Bought it recently and It's hands down the best webcam I've ever seen in my life. It's definitely worth the price.

u/AtomicDan · 1 pointr/letsplay

Okay right off the bat, if you are going to do that sort of style with real life stuff you need a good camera. If you can't afford a camera, I can recommend the Logitech C920 HD Webcam at about £60. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-960-000767-C920-HD-Webcam/dp/B006A2Q81M/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1370166313&sr=1-1&keywords=Webcam

Not going to lie to you, I cringed at the first bit and this really just put me off watching the rest of the video. You need to make me feel invited to watch your video, not make me cringe within the first few seconds.

Some gameplay in there would have been good too, a lot of the time with these types of videos people are there for the gameplay, but you said that you were going to have some there so make sure you have it if you make this public.

I hope this helps.

u/HaydnOSmith · 1 pointr/Twitch

Is there any specific reason as to why you want use this over a C920 for example? I can't answer your Camera question, but if you end up having to look for a webcam, definitely choose that! :)

u/Elhessar · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hey!

I need a webcam and a microphone for my newly built pc.

The Logitech HD Pro C920, considered by many the best webcam, is discounted at 69€ from [Amazon.it] (http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B006A2Q81M/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2N53IRCLUZLCE) at the moment.

It records at 1080, and I don't think I'll ever need that resolution.

Can you recommend a good webcam (720 30fps), orientable and with a good microphone built in?

I'd go with Triton headsets. The only reason I don't use them was because the cable was dead long, but other than that it worked a charm and had good build quality.

This is the PC headset that I used. Lasted me a very long time about two years.

u/Belly_6543 · 1 pointr/buildapc

So far I'm looking at the GameCom 780 by Planetronics

u/Inaktiv_Wol · 1 pointr/headphones
  • Budget : £40-£120 ($65-$200) flexible.

  • Source : Wireless (this is important because my last 3 pairs have had wires that have twisted horribly and snapped in one case). For use with my laptop for gaming and iPod for music.

  • Isolation : Yes please for car journeys.

  • Preferred Type : On/over ear.

  • Preferred Balance : Balanced but leaning towards bass.

  • Past Headphones : Plantronics 780 which had a cable manufacturing error, Anget Sades A-60 I pulled the cable out of the headset on these by accident.

  • Preferred Music : A mix between dubstep and guitar heavy rock (not in the same song).

  • Location : Scotland.

    Thanks in advance I've found it impossible to find wireless headsets anywhere.
u/Highly-Sammable · 1 pointr/headphones

Location - England, should be available on Amazon UK

Budget - <£75 (~$110) - preferably lower if there's something good

Source - Laptop and Nexus 5. I've noticed white noise from earbuds in my laptop for a while after I stop playing audio, is that a sign of a bad sound card?

Requirements for Isolation - High; will mainly use at home, but want the option of a quiet library (i.e: don't want anything leaking out, but I shouldn't have much outside noise)

Preferred Type of Headphone - Was thinking full size over-ear because I assumed they'd have higher isolation and comfort, but then I also read these were often less comfortable than on-ear, so whichever ticks boxes.

Preferred music - Pretty big mix, but I'd say indie rock if I had to give a direction (Arcade Fire, Wilco, etc.), sometimes heavier. I assume that means I don't want high bass?

Past headphones - Various earbuds which I find break a LOT for me just from wear and tear, want something sturdier and much better audio quality. Also had Plantronics GameCom 780 headset which I remember liking the audio of, but I don't want a mic anymore.


I'm a complete headphone/audio newb, feel free to correct a requirement/give budget advice if they seems unrealistic. I'm not an audiophile, so while I want something that sounds significantly better than my earbuds, I also care a lot about comfort, durability and aesthetic (not necessarily flashy, but attractive). Thanks!

u/charlesrussell · 1 pointr/totalwar

Alright, that's a bit on the cheaper side. If you're really looking for quality, I think we're up in the £110 - 130 range. I've a pair of Sennheiser HD 250 at work, and a pair of Sennheiser Momentum at home for gaming. I can highly recommend both if you decide to splash a bit more cash.

For a decent gaming headset at the price you mention though, I'd probably go for the SteelSeries 3H USB (Disclaimer: I used to work for SteelSeries, so I may be biased), or Plantronics GameCom 780. They're both good value for their price.

u/Raniz · 1 pointr/starcraft

I bought a pair of these a month or so ago and I'm really happy with them. They're comfortable (my ears hurt if I wear my Steelseries Siberia for too long) and both sound and mic quality are really good.

My only complaint is that the mute-button for the mic doesn't mute the mic and perhaps that they're a bit too lound on the lowest setting.

u/jackpg98 · 1 pointr/audio

I cannot recommend these enough. Fit nicely in your budget and around your ears, great 7:1 sound, and, best of all, the mic isn't one of those flimsy ones that break after a month.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plantronics-Gamecom-Gaming-Headset-Surround/dp/B0079G2Y52 I think these are 7.1 and they are really nice. Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for.

It's cool! I remember it took me a while to get going as well, and that was in University haha.


Firstly, the best program that you can use is called FRAPS, which is pretty much the industry standard. You can either buy an official copy here or find a torrent, it's quite easy to get ahold of. When you get it and download it, it's very easy to set up and use and is very user-friendly. Step to follow when first opening the program will generally be;

  • Click on the 'Movies' Tab
  • Check where the movies are being saved to
  • Unless you have a VERY powerful computer, it's better to record 'half-size'
  • Make sure it's recording Win7 Sound in Stereo AS WELL AS the external input....oh, definitely get a microphone too. You can use built in ones, but as an investment it seriously improves overall video quality! (I currently use this, but a cheap £12 one served me fine for a long time!!)

    When all of this is setup and he next opens minecraft, if it's working in the top left corner he'll see some big yellow numbers (the current framerate) and as soon as he presses record, that'll change to red. I think the default record button is F9 but you can check and change that in the program. You want this red number to generally be the same as what you set your frame-rate capture to be (30fps, 50fps, 60fps) etc but that all depends on the speed of the computer. Luckily Minecraft is quite easy so you can probably have it comfortably in at least 30 without any issues.


    As soon as he is done recording, he just has to press F9 again, the numbers will go from Red to Yellow and it'll all be in files wherever you set it to save them too.



    As far as it goes, this is all you really need to do! It's very easy and basic and is one of the reasons Minecraft has become such a big youtube hit is how easy and well it records through this method. Let me know if you have any further issues! :)

What do you think? Do you prefer speakers over headphones? The monitor is 27" should be great for gaming as it has 1ms response time. It is not 1440p, but those are fucking expensive.

On the topic of Windows 8: While 7 is still a great OS, when you are buying new, might as well get the new OS. As a newer OS, Win8 is going to get better/more driver (and software) support. The only problem some people have with it is the new START menu, which you quickly get used to or use one of the million programs that bring the old one back. In that case, why get something that is older?

That said, do it. You can get a wired USB LAN Adapter for like 10 bucks off of Amazon. I got This one, and it works perfectly. Or, you could buy the Wii U version and play in glorious HD with my favorite controller, the Wii U Pro Controller.

u/Doiq · 1 pointr/wiiu

Just wanted to confirm that this did indeed do the job. I purchased the exact same wired adapter over the weekend and it has increased my online enjoyment tenfold.

Here's a link to the USA one

u/MaxDelfinus · 1 pointr/splatoon

I did have a similar issue sometime back with one of my ethernet adapters. I was trying one of these on this recommendation, and it worked well enough for a few months, but then I noticed that the internet started dropping out completely for my Wii U unless I either did a Connection Test or unplugged and replugged the adapter itself - and the first time I did the latter, I think the reason became somewhat obvious.

The adapter was running very hot, and apparently overheating. Throwing it into a freezer for a few minutes cooled it and helped it run longer, so I'm almost positive it was a heat issue of some sort (first time I'd ever heard of a ethernet adapter overheating). I fell back on a old Nintendo Wii ethernet adapter, and it's been fine since.

I don't know exactly how your internet is set up or anything or if you use WiFi or Ethernet, but I guess my point is, that error message only cropped up for me once the adapter started failing, so maybe something's failing on your end somewhere?

u/redaxemranger · 1 pointr/nintendo

u/starfx6464 · 1 pointr/wiiu

In answer to your question about the LAN adapter, you will need one that is specifically compatible with the Wii U but it doesn't need to be Nintendo's own. I just bought one from Amazon that works just fine and it's currently going for about $15 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBD2X5E/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UF6Fub19W4K4A

> If your router is overwhelmed you would see it on other devices not just the Wii U. You should also be able to give it your Wii U Mac address so it gives you priority while being on Wifi.

The Wii U connects via 2.4ghz wifi. Most routers offer primary wifi @ 5ghz and allow clients to connect @ 2.4ghz, but the connectivity/speed is shoddy. Because of this, the Wii U can actually can lag over wifi while every other device on the network can be fine.

Choose any adapter that uses the ASIX AX88772 chipset. The Wii and WIi U worked with this chipset so it likely will with the Switch.

My wii U wireless used to work great then it became intermittent and eventually would only would connect for a short time once in a while. It was not a signal or configuration issue.

u/GoDawgs34 · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

I have been addicted to this subreddit trying to set up the same thing at my place. Basically creating a Sonos system but with Chromecast audio. Living room 2.1 (Fluance SX6 bookshelf's, Dayton powered sub, and I still need help with my amplifier) and speakers in the kitchen, bed room and bathroom.

I think I've decided to only worry about a proper system in the living room. I think i just might slowly pick up a few of these Bose multimedia speakers.

I feel like the point of this subreddit is to get people to steer away from these type of speakers (Bose, Logitech, etc) setting up good audio makes sense in a living room, listening room or desktop but for multi room audio I don't think it makes sense. The returns aren't there for the investment. How much better are the powered Micca MB42s gonna sound vs a nice multimedia speaker setup?

u/chippinganimal · 1 pointr/buildapc

Since everyone else has covered the cpu part of the question id thought i would chime in and reccomend you [these speakers] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MX-JS9500-System-Lighting-Effects/dp/B00XUP1Y5M) /s but for a simple stereo desk setup id say go for [these bose speakers for exactly 100$] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CD1PTF0/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1465782279&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=stereo+computer+speakers)

u/clandark · 1 pointr/vinyl

Probably going to get buried in here, but what the hell. I bought my first turntable a year or so ago, that being the very stopgap budget buy of an AT-LP60 Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002GYTPAE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

A short while ago, probably around its year anniversary it started to play at funky speeds and after buying a replacement belt and trying the manual speed adjustment it became apparent it was never going to play my records at the right speed again.

I've started a new job and am a couple paychecks in and I am now searching for a new turntable in the region of $400. I've been drawn to the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC and was wondering if that would be a purchase that I'd be happy with for a decent amount of time. I won't call myself an audiophile, but I have started a modest collection of records and want to be able to play them on a quality and aesthetically pleasing turntable. Basically I'm asking if this turntable is worth the buy, or if I should think about a different one in the same price range (or even splurge and buy the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit DC at around $600).

I'm open to hearing anyone's experience about these Pro-Ject record players (turntables?) as well as any further counsel on a different option.

Also, I bought these Bose powered speakers with the Audio Technica record player (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CD1PTF0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and wanted to know if they would pair well with a record player in the $400 price range.

Thanks to anyone who reads this and gives me a response, I didn't expect for it to be this long when I started typing.

u/confucius8rice · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

If you don’t want to have to deal with amps you can try:
Hivi Swan-D1010IV(B)


Mackie CR3

Mackie CR4

Edifier R1280T

Definitely an unpopular opinion, but The Bose Companion II Series III aren’t terrible if you’re really pressed for space and aren’t too picky..I received a pair as a gift and they’ve suited me fine since I don’t use speakers for much anyway.

u/MOODYS_BOOTYSMOOTHIE · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I would go one of two ways:

If you want a more accurate reproduction of sound for your personal listening environment, look into studio monitors. They will be more focused on clarity and use better components, like active crossovers. If you will ever be into any type of audio/video editing or really enjoy the finner detais, this is the ideal road.

This for example:
https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-CR-CR3-Reference-Multimedia/dp/B00KVEIY4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484435931&sr=8-2&keywords=studio+monitor

If you just want something good, but louder and with more low end, look into a 2.1 setup. more consumer based. ~50-100 would be enough to satisfy you since it seems you primarily use headphones.

Random example:
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Watts-Multimedia-Speakers-980-001203/dp/B0151K2AB0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1484436731&sr=8-5&keywords=logitech+2.1

u/mickeyr · 1 pointr/VFIO

I went with a different approach. I got a set of these speakers and this cable. I then ran that cable from the audio output on my monitor to the speakers and set the VM to use the monitor's audio. The speakers mix the audio with hosts audio so it's fairly seemless.

I'm guessing something like that won't work in your situation

u/Dankutobi · 1 pointr/buildapc

Ryzen stock cooler is good enough for most of their chips, but with the 2700X being 105W, I'd suggest a 280mm AIO.

1080Ti is also standard for 4k, and understand that you will not get 60FPS with everything maxed on that card. Ampere, Turing, whatever the new Nvidia cards will be called will most likely make that achievable.

That PSU also seems close to the minimum you'd want, maybe shoot for 800 or 850 to be safe.

Also, if you're looking for sound equipment suggestions, stepping up to the $50-$80 range will get you some far better speakers. Logitech Z337 speakers are running for about $75 [on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Z333-2-1-Speakers-Easy-access/dp/B0151K2AB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1513880992&sr=8-1&keywords=z333&linkCode=sl1&tag=tecdea0f-20&linkId=39478b6b0a22e0ceeb9908677cb2e028) right now. The previous iteration, the Z333 speakers, are going for about $50.

u/tom_w45 · 1 pointr/buildapc

u/baseshit · 1 pointr/Arcade1Up

I put these in my cab, with the volume knob (with headphone jack) mounted on top behind the marquee. Not the cheapest option, but the subwoofer in the bottom of the cab and the speakers under the control deck really gives the cab a great rumble.

u/clupean · 1 pointr/buildapc

Since you don't have much room for speakers and you're not even sure where to put the subwoofer, you could get standard 2.0 bookshelf speakers like the Edifier R1280DB or Edifier R1280T (5.75in x 9.5in x 7in per speaker) if you don't care about the optical input, or the Logitech Z333 (Blutooth variant) if you prefer something similar to what you had before.

u/ledzep7 · 1 pointr/PS4

For simplicity's sake, I would just do a Logitech set with a sub. Like THIS or THIS. If you are wanting something a bit more 'audiophile', head on over to r/budgetaudiophile and start poking around, especially in the sidebar.

There's a cheap set of Logitechs with a sub and dial for like 55 that I use but ideally I would like the razer cylindrical ones for the aesthetic.

I know r/Zeos has some good suggestions(?) but I have NO idea how to set up passive speakers, even after spending the entire day yesterday looking at his subreddit and searching on youtube/google.

You only get beeps if you have a speaker attached - they are not included with every board. If you're not having any beeps at all and the system isn't booting up a motherboard speaker can help troubleshoot.

If you don't have one, you have to buy it:

That is the Phase LED lights.

The number of lighted LEDs indicates the CPU loading. The higher the CPU loading, the more the number of lighted LEDs. To enable the Phase LED display function, please first enable Dynamic Energy Saver™ 2. Refer to Chapter 4, "Dynamic Energy Saver™ 2," for more details.

Per the manual you need a speaker connector to hear the BIOS POST codes. So you need to get a motherboard speaker connector

u/Roryos0110 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Not all motherboards allow you to hear beep codes through the headphones. A motherboard speaker going into the speaker pins on your motherboard is better. There may well be beep codes, you're just not hearing it. Edit: One of these.

u/Silver_Foxxx · 1 pointr/computer_help

When you're trying to get a computer to just POST you remove the memory , video card and all storage devices to force the motherboard to "display" BIOS codes. If BIOS codes are displayed then the motherboard is still partially working. If none are displayed then you may need an internal speaker or the motherboard is dead.

You should remove the video card and plug the monitor into the motherboard without using a conversion cable of any kind. At this point in time the integrated graphics are much more reliable than the ATI Radeon X1950 PRO video card.

Without memory the motherboard should screech at you and with out storage the motherboard should take you to the BIOS.

I'm actually not talking about regular speakers, but a speaker like this that connects to your motherboard. It generally comes with most motherboards, but you can buy one for cheap here.

It will give off beeps of whatever error may be causing a problem during boot, and you can then check the manual for your motherboard to see what the beep means.

u/pendejadas · 1 pointr/buildapc

Usually when there is no video output it is a memory issue, a small piezo speaker is like $2 on amazon and would let you know what is wrong, just look online for your motherboard beep codes.


The exact thing happened to my with an ASRock motherboard, it would not post, the fans would start spinning and nothing from the motherboard VGA or the video card, so I hooked up the speaker and turns out there was a memory error, swapped the sticks to some of the ones listed as compatible on the website and problem solved.

u/jamvanderloeff · 1 pointr/buildapc
  1. Partial PSU failures are uncommon, if it works at all, it's usually safe to assume it's working completely.

  2. So long as the CPU's at least partly working you should get beeps. Note the mobo speaker is separate from the regular audio speakers, it's the one like this that plugs in inside https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487631380&sr=8-1&keywords=motherboard+speaker

  3. Should work fine.

  4. Possible, but pretty unlikely. DOA part of some kind is more likely.

  5. Depends what's wrong.

    Most likely things that could be dead would be mobo, RAM, CPU.
u/Trey5169 · 1 pointr/computers

If you haven't touched the hardware, you'll want to start by removing the RAM and then putting it back in the same slots as before. When people say they "reseat connections," this is usually included in the list of connections that are reseated. I'm assuming you were talking about all the power connectors.

It's also worth mentioning that some motherboards are sold without a speaker, and thus can't emit beep codes. If reseating your RAM doesn't work, you might want to buy one and hook it up to your board and see if it's trying to beep a code or not.

u/brock_lee · 1 pointr/whatisthisthing

The diagnostic speaker. Use for the beep codes at bootup.

u/Cookster997 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I 100% recommend getting a Mobo Speaker.



It's just $5, like /u/jdorje said, and should give you insight into what's going on. I had a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be a RAM issue. With the beep codes, I was able to figure that out right after pressing the power button, and it saved a lot of time messing around with stuff.

Rushing or panicking is never what you want to do with PC issues. If you wait a few days and get the speaker, it will give you much more info to help you and people like us figure out whats wrong.

Best of luck!

u/Hisheeps · 1 pointr/buildapc

Typically when there is a boot error there is a industry standard where the mobo will start beeping a certain pattern to indicate the error, I would suggest getting a beeper (really cheap and should work with any mobo).

https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499116392&sr=8-1&keywords=motherboard+beeper

Something like that, even if it doesn't solve your exact problem it will still help you one day.

u/xust- · 1 pointr/nova
u/BrewingHeavyWeather · 1 pointr/buildapc

That's generally part of the case. Though many boards have integrated speakers, these days.

If you need one for diagnostics, though: https://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Computer-Motherboard-Internal-Speaker/dp/B01527H4W2/

u/nicholsml · 1 pointr/buildapc

> Other than that, could the MOBO and/or CPU be faulty? What other diagnostic test should we try?

I would try to use the mem test/safe button on the motherboard. Many lower end motherboards don't have these and iot looks like yours doesn't. I have had problems with memory not defaulting to the correct speed. You can try just running one stick of ram to get to see if you can get to the bios. Also try following the motherboard manual's instructions for reseting the bios to default. Usually involves booting with battery out or switching a jumper then turning it on and then powering it off and putting the jumper back before restarting.


> There is no beep from the MOBO, but I don't know if it has speaker. How can we listen to it?

A lot of motherboards have no speaker and you need one these to hear beep codes.... https://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Computer-Motherboard-Internal-Speaker/dp/B01527H4W2?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

> Thank you so much for your time, we are kind of at lost about what to do at this point.

Make sure to try booting with the absolute minimum number of devices plugged in. One stick of ram, no hard drive only the monitor plugged in without keyboard and mouse to see if you can get bios to come up. If one stick of ram does work but with two it doesn't boot, try lower ram speed, sometimes ram will only run at lower speeds than advertised because of compatibility.

If nothing you do seems to work after double checking everything and trying that.... I would send the motherboard back and if that doesn't work i would try different ram. If you have known good parts from another sytem, it's worth trying those, video card, ram, cpu.

u/poorgeek333 · 1 pointr/buildapc

For PC ownership of any sort, I'd highly recommend purchasing one of these for situations like this, it plugs in above the front panel header. That being said, have you tried testing or replacing the CMOS battery yet? You can use a multimeter with DC voltage settings (also nice thing to have around for diagnosing) and see if the battery is below 2.9V after pulling it from the board. It's a pretty inexpensive item to have handy since they have a decent shelf life. Heat can degrade the battery rapidly and there's plenty of heat sources in a PC.

u/LuminescentMoon · 1 pointr/techsupport

Get a PC buzzer, stick it in your motherboard, listen to the beep sequence, and look it up in your motherboard manual.

u/wrath_of_grunge · 1 pointr/intel

have you connected a motherboard speaker, to see if it gives a beep code?

u/Super9091 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

make sure your monitor is plugged into the gpu and not the outputs on the motherboard. If you have motherboard speaker (like this https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520637865&sr=8-4&keywords=motherboard+speaker)
plug it in and see what kind of beeps you get. you should find what they mean on Asrock's website.

u/fallingsun · 1 pointr/buildapc
u/Eternal_Ohm · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yeah I had no idea the thermal paste that came pre-applied on the CPU Cooler was so sticky it's absurd that it can rip the CPU out of the socket. For a motherboard speaker it doesn't have to be expensive you only need it to hear post codes so this would likely suffice

u/ahenkel · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

OK do you have an other spare parts for testing purposes?

Do you have a case speaker like this? https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2 Did you hook it up, and do you hear beeps?

u/Dark_24 · 1 pointr/buildapc

that does not mean the Motherboard is working just that those headers are getting power..

you could try getting a PC motherboard speaker
https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2

Like this to see if you get beep codes or the all ok beep..

You could try a different Video card or make sure you video card works in a different machine..


You could try pulling the whole motherboard out and putting it on a box and breadboarding it to see if you can get everything to work..


Again you can try different Video ports / cables /monitor to see if that helps..

you are pretty much in the dark right now.. only way to figure out is to start swapping things..

u/AntisocTeknoweenie · 1 pointr/buildapc

Well hardware rarely purely dies. That is to say, when you turn the switch on, does anything happen? When you hit the power button, does anything happen? Every single time you do a thing, it has a chance to reply back. Get on of these, too: https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525259253&sr=8-4&keywords=motherboard+speaker if you don't have one of those LED displays in your mobo.

u/The_Roptor · 1 pointr/halo

Maybe that can be a future upgrade for me, I've seen this from Canadian retailers such as Amazon.ca though I didn't realize that it was HD 598 compatible. I wouldn't expect the mic quality to live up to the BoomPro.

u/SbM_Yggdrassil · 1 pointr/Gaming_Headsets

Thanks for your comments.


I get the feeling that Astro headsets are streamerbait.


I'd been interested to try Hyper X as I'd heard good things, but I was really persuaded by your idea of external mic.


The CB-1 is a little tricky to get in Australia. I've found that I might be able to get the Audio Technica ATH-M40x for a similar price. They are apparently a similar, possibly higher quality beast according to one thing I read.

What are your thoughts on that as a substitute?


Edit: Read your stickied thread and I saw you had the M40x listed as "Full recommendation". Is it boompro compatible??

Edit2: Looks like no. Mods required.

Edit3: relevant thread for posterity.

Edit4: A mic that might work with it, but seems like its crap quality. Link

u/chouetteonair · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Under $100 there's a lot of options from what I've seen. Among open-backed ones (generally better sound, but lacking noise isolation) the commonly backed ones are the Philips SHP9500s, Sennheiser 5x8 series on sale (I personally use the 558, great value), Audio-Technica AD500X (mind the wings, some people like or dislike them), etc.


Obligatory /r/headphones plug. But the SHP and 5x8 are both compatible with some boom mic cables as well for about $30 extra (V-Moda BoomPro and generic for the SHP/5x8 respectively).


EDIT: Besides some comfort complaints (can be modded to a degree), it looks like people enjoy the 668B though. If you're strapped for cash go for it.

u/TheJniac · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Yes I do, and no it will not. There is a similar product that is compatible, but the Amazon reviews are not stellar. I believe that there is a way to use the Boompro, but it involves adapters and a minor modification to the headphones, so I do not feel it is worthwhile but I am going to mention it for the sake of being thorough.

u/Dallagen · 1 pointr/headphones

This With m50x might work

u/SkurkSimon · 1 pointr/headphones

You don't have to mod anything to get the modmic working, you just attach it to the side with some included adhesive andplug it into the mic input on your pc. If you dont want to glue anything to the side of your headphones you could get this boom mic since it justs connect the same way as your old cable. I have this mic myself and it's pretty nice and much cheaper than a modmic. I have blue switches and it doesnt pick up the sound from them.

u/ActionFlank · 1 pointr/PS4

598s can have their lock modded to accept a standard plug. Alternatively, another redditor pointed me to this, which accommodates the lock.

But i dont know how to set it up. Any help?

u/kare_kano · 1 pointr/headphones

Those adapters are fine for mic input, I was just saying that particular one is a bit overpriced, but that's Antlion for you...

Lapel mics can be quite good, eg. Sony ECMCS3 or Zalman ZM-Mic1.

There are cheaper desktop mics that are still quite nice, like Blue Snowball.

You can get a headset but ofc that would mean giving up the HD598, and usually gaming headsets are not particularly great for music. For the sake of completion I will note though that Sennheiser PC360 is not bad (on par with HD558 actually).

There's also the V-Moda BoomPro, which plugs into 3.5mm, so you can try to use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. But be careful what you get, not sure if it's the adapters or the HD598 plug/locking ring, but lots of people report connectivity cuts out from time to time.

Last but not least there's this mic which is similar to the BoomPro but with 2.5mm and iffy reviews.

u/Vortax_Wyvern · 1 pointr/headphones

The cans arrive with two cables. The short one has built in micro (like any headphones for mobile). I suppose this can work, but I didn't test it yet.

Also, my approach is to get a boom mod mic to add it. Best is Antlion, but it's too expensive here (80€), you also have V-moda and KetDirect. I bought the KetDirect (they have one specific model that works with HD598), but It arrive damaged, so I had to return it (25€). I will probably rebuy it very soon.

u/Virule93 · 1 pointr/Zeos

I currently have the DT770s at work and love them. I also have the Logitech G930 wireless gaming headset, but I'm beginning to hate it. Beyond the constant random disconnects from the wireless, the sound just isn't that impressive.

I'm looking to spend <$250 for headphones + mic. I plan on buying the Micca Orgien+ separately as I buy some new desktop speakers (currently planning on the MB42x, but that's a separate discussion).

I'm not super experienced in all of this, so I'm unsure if there's anything else I need to buy. I really like the DT990s, and then I'll need a mic to hook up, too. On the other hand, it seems like it would be easier to just get an HD598 and the mic that attaches in-line.

I love bassy "fun" sounds, which is why I think I would like the DT990 better, but my biggest worry is that it may be annoying hooking the headphones into the Origen+ and stringing a mic along separately to plug directly into the computer. What do you think would work better for me?

This mic on amazon seems like a good option if you don't want to shell out for the modmic nor mod your cans. I can't speak on the quality of the mic (I use a modmic) but it's likely a better solution than the inline cable mics on ebay.

On another note, I hope you are using some kind of amp for the Xbox as connecting directly to the controller will have a low volume output, not to mention poor quality

u/Iceblack88 · 1 pointr/GameDeals

The problem with headsets w/microphone is that you either spend $200+ or you have to decide for good speaker or good microphone. Not saying they all suck but having both connected on the same device definitely sacrifices some quality as opposed to headphones and separate mic.

But here are two options:

Sennheiser 360 - You will always have good speakers with Sennheiser but their mic is not the best. People will hear you of course but it may be a bit too quiet or it may not have the best clarity in the world.

Turtle Beach - Elite Pro Tournament - Turtle Beach is a good middle. Not the best speakers for this price but the mic is descent. The mic will always be just ok with headsets, nothing like an actual desk/hanging mic. But if you want your mic to be a good one and you can sacrifice a bit of speaker quality then this would be the way to go, although a little over your budget

u/snuflswasmyslavename · 1 pointr/headphones

I just noticed that the Sennheiser PC360 is $130 nowadays. Drop everything else and grab one. Neutral sound, good positioning, decent soundstage, good comfort – on par with HD598 for those who are familiar with it. Basically you could say that the PC360 is the headset version of the HD5xx line. Not as good as HD598, but not much worse either.

u/ukTHISISGAMING · 1 pointr/headphones

Hi, I currently own the Hyper X Cloud II but have started to hear something vibrating/shaking inside the headset. Consequently, I'm in the market for some new headphones. After following the buyers guide I'm currently interested in the Sennheiser HD 598 Over-Ear Headphones, Audio-Technica ATH-M50X Studio Monitor Professional Headphones or the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro Headphones - 250 Ohm. Nevertheless, what's the difference in sound quality between those headphones and these headsets: Sennheiser GSP 350 Closed Back Gaming Headset, Sennheiser PC 360 Special Edition Gaming Headset, HyperX Cloud Revolver Pro Gaming Stereo Headset.


Budget: No more than £150
Source: Directly into my computer
Isolation: some (block out computer fans)
The headphones will be used exclusively at my desk.
Most of the music I hear will be from games, which varies heavily, so I want something which is okay for everything.
Overall I'm looking for something which is clear/detailed (so I can hear opponents in multiplayer games) while simultaneously sounding good for music/cinematic/single-player.


Thanking you.

EDIT: What's the difference between these: Sennheiser HD 598 Cs Closed Back and Sennheiser HD 558 High End Open Over-Ear

u/SumoSizeIt · 1 pointr/xboxinsiders

I've always been pretty happy with stereo surround when wearing headphones, and I'm a bit wary of investing in audio tech after buying the hype of soundcards and EAX back in the 2000s, especially since codecs and standards were changing rapidly back then.

That said, I'm always open to new things. Can you tell me what I'm missing out on compared to, say, my PC360 or ATH-M50 headsets? Granted, they're a bit old at this point, so they may be due for replacement regardless. I'm just timid when it comes to marketing hype around virtual audio processing.

The Sennheiser PC 360 is currently on sale in my Country (Link)

I was considering buying the hyperx Cloud until I found out about this Deal. Whats holding me back is the 40 euro they'd cost more for me and often reported durability issues of the 360s mic from the reviews. Another point is that im probably better off with separate mic and headphones for 100 bucks but im not sure if thats the case for the hyperx cloud too.

Im by no means audiophile (yet), so Im mostly looking for build quality in terms of durability and wearing comfort since Im wearing glasses and seeming to have a big head. At least my current 230 (which I wouldnt buy again) had a very high clamping force to my head.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me decide if its worth the 40 euro extra :)

Same headset iirc, just with a mic attached

u/mightyprometheus · 1 pointr/mississauga

Thanks for your input :) I'm gonna order them and give them a try with onboard audio (MSI Gaming 5 Z97) - should be fine to drive those headphones. I may pick up a the E10K eventually though, even if it's for the convenience of the volume dial.

I'm assuming you have these headphones?

All of which, if the game has good sound design, will basically allow me to see through walls. A lot of it does come down to the game you're playing, and of course setting the audio up properly so it doesn't have a bunch of bullshit echo and what-not.

$30 cheaper than the Sony studio headphones with a mic. I've never used the Sony's but I have used these and they're miles ahead of any other headphones I've used. These are the previous version of the ones I was talking about before, the only downside being the g4me one have 2 different cables. One being a combo Mic and audio 3.5mm plug and one having them split to 2 jacks.

It is NOT the C922. It's also not the C922x, as was previously stated.

The C922x is item number: 960-001176 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXCDPPK/

This webcam is item number: 960-001211 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Stream-Streaming-Recording-960-001211/dp/B07661NX9M/

They look virtually identical from a feature standpoint (1080p@30fps/720p@60fps), but I haven't dug into it too deeply.

u/cat-gun · 1 pointr/SexWorkers

Yes, there's a market for all body types. Many sex workers are pleasantly surprised at the level of demand for their "look". However, you will likely need to hustle more and it may take you a little longer to find your audience if you don't have a classically beautiful body. CamModelMom has tips on getting started as a plus size cam model.

You can get started with just your computer's webcam or a phonecam. People have shot feature films on phone cameras.

The key to getting good video out of a phone camera is to learn to take advantage of natural lighting, and lights you already may have (such as desklamps, worklights, Christmas lights). I recommend reading about how to light / film yourself first, then decide what kind of lighting you need:

u/cryoclasm · 1 pointr/NewTubers

What I use:

Logitech c922x webcam $68.22 right now, usually $99.

TONOR mic w/ arm and power supply $47.99.

Ubeesize ring light w/phone grip (I use the grip for the webcam) $18.99.

The webcam comes with chromakey software in case you plan to do background replacement. The mic is almost too good, because it picks up damn near everything and I've only recently started trying to figure out noise suppression and noise gates.

u/Sticbas · 1 pointr/CowChop

This looks like the webcam. I'm not 100% sure, but this one looks pretty close. They use OBS to record their webcams, but I can't make out what they're using to record gameplay. If you pause their last video that they uploaded at the very beginning, you can see their setup pretty well.

u/GeekyPanda404 · 1 pointr/letsplay

you can try the Logitech c922x, it does say it supports 720P at 60fps though I personally never tried it since I only have the c920 and use a DSLR for all my Face-Cam stuff for YouTube.

u/superpopcone · 1 pointr/buildapc

I was trying to figure out what kind of specialized software the "inteli7" is until I realized you're talking about the CPU... Do note all i7s are not the same depending on generation, so pay attention to their clock speeds, generation, and other things that indicate their performance.

1080p 60fps, I would venture a guess that it would be far more economical (and you'll get higher quality out of) to buy any laptop and then buy an external webcam, like the Logitech C922x.

/r/SuggestALaptop is a thing as well.

u/Pentos · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Is Amazon's C922x different from C922 on Logitech's website? It looks the same to me but I'm not sure. I guess the Amazon one has no tripod, but is the camera the same one as OPs?

u/provideocreator · 1 pointr/videography

The easiest solution is not to get a camcorder or camera. They great for video creation, but probably way more complicated than what you need.

I would just recommend using a webcam like the Logitech C922 and mount that above the desk. Basically plug it in USB, no fancy HDMI to USB adapters necessary, and way under the budget.

So basically I think you're over complicating the problem and this simple solution would be the most user-friendly.

If I do get into video editing it would be on Adobe Premier Pro. I’m really more interested in streaming for the fact I have no idea how to edit videos so anything I would do would be minimal.

u/rar3nativ · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

At the bare minimum include the following things if you want help and/or advice choosing or setting up amplifiers, speakers, DACS, etc

  • Budget: a little more or less than 100 u$s? I'm not sure
  • Country: Argentina. If the product cost more than 50$, I have to pay 50% of the excedent as taxes
  • I can buy from: Any amazon, b&h, I think almost everywhere
  • Use: Audioslave, RHCP, Rock in general, series,
  • Where: A desk in a Room
  • Space: 3.67m x 3.88m, NOT really loud, I will be most of the time 1.5m away from the speakers and occasionally on my bed, or taking a bath or cooking in the next room.

    Optional but also helpful

  • Powered, passive, or no preference: no preference, I've heard you can get a better quality with the same budget with passive speakers.
  • Any size limitations for either speaker or amp: no
  • To upgrade later?: not really
  • Pref certain way of sounding (Bright/forward, smooth/laid back, neutral, etc): that immersive experience (everyone here would call it the commercial one?) but I'm not sure, I don't have any speaker to listen and compare.., I only have a HyperX Cloud 1 headsets and I won't be downloading FLAC at least for the moment, I only listen from Spotify (music) or Bluray (series and movies) most part of the time

    I've made my search but I have no idea about this so... I need speakers for the pc on the desk in my room. Mostly for series, music, games. I will not update the system soon after this purchase and I don't have anything right now besides my current headphones.

    I'm from Argentina so I have 2 disadvantages: I have absolutely no idea what I'm buying because there are no places near me to try any of these speakers. For every purchase, if I spend more than 50$ I will have to pay 50% of the excedent. That means, I can buy an amp of 30$ without paying taxes or if it exists the possibility to buy a pair of headphones by separate (1 and 1 making a pair) I will probably not pay taxes... Are there places willing to do that?

    This is my room: https://imgur.com/a6UVKYU

    Questions:

    - What would you recommend and why?

    - My motherboard doesn't have bluetooth. I want to connect my pc the 99% of the time and maybe my phone 4-5mts away. What is my best option?

    - I think I can buy from any amazon. I've found better prices for some of the products there. Editing..

    Active:

    Edifier R1280T 156$ - £89.99

    Edifier R980T 115$ - £59.99

    Swan Speakers - D1010-IVB (unavailable? the 2nd best option?)

    Passive:

    Micca PB42 60$

    Micca PB42X 110$

    Pioneer SP-BS22-LR 93$ (the best ones? 1st best option?)

    Dayton Audio B652 28$

    Dayton Audio B652-AIR 45$

    Amp:

    Lepy LP-2020A Class-D 23$ (I want to connect my phone occasionally without disconnecting my pc, should I get a bluetooth or wifi amp?)

u/namo2021 · 1 pointr/battlefield3
u/plaig · 1 pointr/hardware

meh(scroll down to the UPDATE: area to see the relevant section).

Before even seeing that review, I was going to recommend Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, which can usually be found for less than a hundred dollars on your local Craigslist(I got a perfectly working set from 2009 for $70). Yes, they're old, but yes, they're still the king of awesome/cheap, for the most part.

Don't bother with the wireless ones unless you find them at a comparable price (which you probably won't).

Otherwise, there's always the M-Audio AV40 (mark I, not II) if you're more into accurate reproduction of sound.

If neither of these is expensive enough for your tastes, I shall bow and take my leave, as you will need to find another product specialist to help in your higher-end range. I've never felt the need to spend $400+ on computer speakers, but perhaps when I own a home I'll get something along those lines. The z5500 is still an excellent set, though, so I'm not sure what you're looking for...

Thanks for your help in advance!

u/IamSp00ky · 1 pointr/pcgaming

You are already on the ball. The Z5500 remains one of, if not the, best PC speaker sets out there. Its only issue is its inability to handle true 7.1 sound. Its subwoofer is frankly, amazing, even audiophiles will appreciate it.

Klipsch's 5.1 systems are great and work for both traditional audio and PC.

You can get the Logitech Z5500 from Amazon for $299.

u/Cyrusrua · 1 pointr/AskReddit

For bang for your buck, I'd recommend the Logitech Z5500. I've had this system for a few years and have been very pleasantly surprised with the fidelity & power. While being considered pc speakers, they are THX certified and have fiber optic as well as coaxial inputs. The Dolby Pro-Logic II also does a decent job of upconverting your stereo music into surround.

Amazon

Bose are very clear, but are often overly bright and lack mid range. If you decide to blow your budget, I think you'd be much happer with speakers from Klipsch.

Do mean powered bookshelfs or a 5.1 system? Audioengine makes a highly regarded, albeit a bit expensive power bookshelf.

If you mean a 5.1 computer system with everything built in, like the logitech z5500, it will be more immersive than the pro-media system but not really a true home theater.

If you can tolerate the monitor speakers long enough to save another $50, the Audioengine A2s are fantastic. I've got a pair and they are great, a lot of power in a very compact space. Plus they look really nice (I think so anyway).

If $150 is a hard limit, I've seen the M-Audio Studiophile AV 40s on a few people's setups and they seem to be well liked. Plus they're on sale at the moment. I can't speak for how they perform though.

Since you seem to know things about audio ($800 sound card, $1000 speakers, etc.), what would you recommend for a simple, not very expensive setup?

I currently have some M-Audio AV40s plugged directly into my computer, but they're lackluster. Not much bass to speak of and whenever I plug headphones in they're very quiet, presumably because the output isn't amped or preamped.

u/Lastshadow94 · 1 pointr/audiophile

I'm looking for a solid set of speakers (2.0 or 2.1 setup, I'm flexible) for my room at college. I'm in a single-person dorm room, so pretty small, hard surfaces if people factor that in. I like really neutral sound reproduction (I have Shure SRH 840s, and I love the way they sound), especially considering that my music tastes go all over the place. I listen to mostly rock and metal (everything from Zeppelin and Floyd to Dream Theater to Fear Factory to Animals as Leaders, etc. etc.), but also some punk, electronic, pop, rap, folk, and country. I also probably will end up watching TV or movies with these, so that's a factor. I'm gonna be driving these from my custom PC build (no discrete sound card, but I'm willing to add one if it's going to make a huge difference). Only having a wired connection works, but something with Bluetooth would be nice so I can stream music from my tablet or laptop, but it's not a necessity.

So far, thing's I've looked at are:

u/kor56 · 1 pointr/hardware

I would advise against those "home theater systems." They are nice and compact, but "nice and compact" isn't usually a good thing for speakers.

If I were you, I would pick up some nice powered monitors with a >5" cone, and no sub woofer. The sub that comes with those packages probably has a 6", maybe 8" driver, and often is turned up too much, which is why a lot of cheap systems sound kind of "farty." If you get a nice monitor you will have much clearer sound. Powered monitors usually have 1 RCA connector, which would probably go to the TV's sound output. Then if you have a DVD player hooked up to your tv over HDMI, you can also get sound from that.

I use some bookshelf speakers (dm-602's from ebay) and a reconditioned denon reciever from ecost (you can get one of these for >$150). I've heard good things about these as well.

Also, speaker stands. If you do go the monitor/bookshelf route (and you should), get some speaker stands.

u/gergemaine · 1 pointr/minimalism

I would recommend these M-Audio AV40. Note that the link goes to the older version. The new version is crap compared to the older one.

u/nubbinator · 1 pointr/gamingpc

The quality of those Turtle Beaches isn't all that great. My personal recommendation is a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD700 headphones and a decent mic. The sound quality will be much much better. If you just want cheap, these headphones and a decent mic would be the way to go, though I'm not sure how great they are for gaming. They're amazing for the price though.

If you really want a good gaming headset, pony up a bit more and grab the Sennheiser PC360 or settle for the PC350. The only other one that gets recommended frequently is the Astro A40, but it's because of the Mixamp that comes with it. The headphones are meh, but the amp is solid. Of course, you could get a good DAC/amp like the Fiio E7 or some of the other Fiio DACs and amps.

u/WinterCharm · 1 pointr/AskReddit

They're not bad, but they are purposefully tuned to boost treble to help you hear footsteps, and boost bass to help you feel immersed. and you're paying a lot more for the built in mic. :P

Sorry, I didn't know I had to post my question to this thread.

Are refurbished headphones better than like new?

My boyfriend and I are doing late Christmas to take advantage of all the Christmas money we've both got and I want to get him a nice pair of headphones, but I don't want to spend more than $100. He likes over the ear headphones, and that about his only preference.

After doing a bit of research I settled on these Sennheiser pc 350 headphones. I won't be able to buy a new pair, so I'm going to choose one of the used or refurbished ones.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Are refurbished better than like new?

Also feel free to critique my choice of headphones or suggest other alternatives. I have absolutely no headphone knowledge other than the fact that the bose pair I've had for two years are pretty awesome.

So yeah, any advice would be great! Thanks!

It's good for games, music, movies. The sound quality is awesome. The mic is good and the headphones are comfortable even after long time usage.

I see that many recommended Razer Tiamat 7.1. Good headphones but a lot more expensive. They cost more than 200$ if I converted currencies properly :)

So far I had only Sony and I've tried some Razer but these are the best in my opinion.

I will have to recommend these as well. This thing has a great microphone which hardly ever picks up background noise. You'll be doing everyone a favor by allowing everyone to hear your delicious voice.

The only problem I've had with this model is that it sits on top of your ear. Marathon gaming sessions gave me red ears which burned. We're talking 5+ hrs.

Those lasted me 2.5 years. The cushion that goes over your air I'm using these now. Over the ear, very light, it even manages to block out noise.

Can someone point me to some good amps? I've never really fully understood what to look for when getting an amplifier.

You can get the virtual surround sound from headsets, headphones, or even ear buds. Its more of a software solution.

All of these are at or below 150$ I'm fairly sure and are more than you could ever want from audio quality unless you were an Audiophile that only listened to FLAC with an amp to drive you headphones.

This is a strange, but related question:

I need better headphones for gaming. I settled on getting these after basically taking a straight recommendation from a friend

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012XFDWO

The problem is that the reviews suggest that I need a sound card with amplifier in order for them to work? I'm not sure I understand. I am of reasonable technical skill, but I'm not sure I'm understanding what I need exactly. Particularly this review and the comments on it are somewhat troubling. They've essentially left me thinking that I need to get a new sound card (currently using onboard sound on an ASUS P6X58D Premium) but I'm not sure exactly what specification the new card would require. I'm just leaving this here as a means of passively collecting research if anyone else understands this topic better. I'll be a few tabs to the right in my browser doing more research on my own, so don't hassle me with the "LOOK IT UP, RETARD" if you don't mind. I'm trying.

Anyway, I appreciate it.

I've been enjoying your casts lately, also, TB. You help to fill my Saturdays in particular. I enjoy having a nice ladder on one monitor while I watch some tournaments on the other. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to hear how some crazy baller casting equipment helps things sound :)

u/AllDressedChip · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

Thanks for the answer and suggestion. But I haven't really the space or desire for a subwoofer. Is there an option you'd recommend more like bookshelf speakers, but self-powered?

Edit: the same company makes these, and I also found these.

u/Bob_Log · 1 pointr/audiophile

$64 bucks, so overbudget, but these things can out-thump some 2.1 systems, the extra 12bucks to be over budget is worth it for audiophile level quality;
https://www.amazon.com/Creative-51MF1610AA002-GigaWorks-Multimedia-Technology/dp/B001RNOHDU/

If you MUST stay under budget at a huge loss of audio quality, you can check out the T12's, but I do not recommend them as the sound is never fulfilling.

u/PurpleTortoise8192 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm looking for some speakers that aren't awful. I don't need "audiophile grade" or anything, I just don't want some cheap garbage. And I don't have space for a subwoofer or anything wider than 4 inches (100 millimetres) My current speakers are some 15$ Logitech ones (Z130). I haven't really experienced sound quality better than that. I've been thinking about getting the Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II. Are they any good? Or would something like the Logitech Z200 be alright?

EDIT: Also, I won't be turning to volume very high. On my current speakers, I usually don't ever have the volume any higher than 20% (with the windows volume control).

u/n0stalgic_gam3r · 1 pointr/buildapc

I would reccommend these speakers: Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II 2.0 Speakers

I'm not very saavy on the audiophile front, I don't know if they are active speakers but they are good 2.0 speakers for their price range. Feel free to research further if you think they might meet your needs.

I used them for a few years and found them really good. Despite the lack of a subwoofer they have a nice bit of punch to them. In fact, I liked them so much that I have ended up getting another set for my return to desktop computing.

u/N00dlemonk3y · 1 pointr/audiophile

Hello, fairly new to reddit. still trying to navigate my way around.

I am looking for a new pc speakers for my computer setup. Budget is $60-80. I have looked at Edifiers (980T) and Creative Labs.

Creative Labs:
https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Wireless-Bluetooth-Computer-Communication/dp/B00EVWX8R0?ref_=ast_sto_dp

https://www.amazon.com/Creative-51MF1610AA002-GigaWorks-Multimedia-Technology/dp/B001RNOHDU?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Any other suggestions would help and should I get an AMP/DAC. Not a streamer (not yet), just an art student who watches youtube (hate my monitor speakers), listens to music (no preference, any), and does gaming.


Would really appreciate the help in deciding. :)

Can these still be recommended today at $90 USD?
I live in condo/complex where I'm the only person under the age of 60, so when I don't want to use headphones, I need to be able to adjust the volume and bass depending on if neighbors are home or not.

Will be for general use (movies, gaming), nothing professional.

Things I changed:

  • RAM:
    Cheaper RAM kit. You won't be able to use dual channel, although 8GB of 1600mhz RAM won't benefit too much from it.

  • Case:
    That case looks epic, but is kind of expensive. this is a decent and cheaper alternative. I liked working with this case.

  • Power supply:
    higher quality power supply that has been 80+ Gold rating and is semi-modular.

    I'll update this post with new speakers as well, as these aren't the best you can get for the price.

    update:

    The Microlab M850 is a bit more expensive setup, but has a built in amplifier, which will give you clearer sound and usually less interference with the pc. It's overall specs are quite a bit better than the Logitech Z313 (better frequency response, higher volume and a decent SNR ratio.

    For a bit more money you can ge the Gigaworks T20 II set. This isn't a 2.1 setup, has a fairly decent frequency response, but does have a good SNR ratio.
u/Centcom15 · 1 pointr/battlestations

I have the Creative Labs T20 speakers -- Creative Labs - GigaWorks T20. They're like $70 on amazon but sometimes go for cheaper and I absolutely love them. I had some Logitech speakers before these (not 2.1) and these blow the Logitech speakers away. Having individual bass and treble control is nice too, not to mention they look pretty good and have detachable speaker grilles.

u/Old_Man_Smell · 1 pointr/vinyl

For the sound quality your Crosley is capable of producing and the small space you have these would pair just fine:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RNOHDU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_NsD8wbPTEYVEY

Most people here, including myself would recommend a different path altogether. Save your money and buy quality components. Your Crosley will skip, they all do. They also tend to be harsh on records. You'll soon find yourself frustrated with it.

If you just don't have the means to buy higher quality gear, then what I recommended is about as far as your crosley can take you in terms of improving the sound.

Regardless, spin and enjoy those records. Check the sidebar too, lots of good info for people new to the hobby.

u/velour_manure · 1 pointr/buildapc

I have the Creative Labs GigaWorks T20 Series II 2.0

Good little speakers for a simple setup — not too serious, but also not too cheap

Currently $69

u/ennuionwe · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

I don't know what your budget is but I'm a fan of the Creative T20 ii

They're under $80, good looking, good sounding. A lot of people are a fan of a separate amp and then a good pair of bookshelf speakers but for me these things are a good mix of simplicity, size, price and sound quality (and I think they look good without the grills.)

u/jperryss · 1 pointr/crtgaming

I've used a bunch of different speakers with my PVMs and I prefer desktop computer speakers because a) they're compact, b) since they're compact, the speaker magnets are smaller and can be placed closer to my monitors without causing issues, and c) I think the frequency range of a smaller speaker better suits the games I play while still sounding way better than the speakers on any TV I've owned. I currently use a set of Bose Companion IIs that I bought cheap from from someone on Craigslist, and before that I used a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers which I also liked quite a bit.

u/gonzap50 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

The Logitech Z323's are pretty affordable and are very popular. I used to use them before I upgraded to bookshelf speakers. They have a small footprint and are easy to set up. Also you can find the used VERY cheap.

u/JayIkalima · 1 pointr/audio

I'm using this system just because it's cheap. I'm planning to upgrade to a pair of PreSonus Eris E5's and possibly a Logitech Z323 sub. I'm not too concerned about the subwoofer; as long as it can make deeper bass than the monitors, but won't distort on max volume.

Oh, and this is a setup that will cost around 340 USD in total.

u/Realtricky · 1 pointr/audiophile

I am building a PC, and would like budget speakers that sound better than my monitor's built-ins. I have been looking at the Logitech Z323. However, I would like something that is similar in quality to these (or better, who knows), but for a bit less cost. I would say $40-70 CAD (32-56 USD) would be a preferable price range. Can you help me?

White and blue theme, plenty of gaming/productivity power, with requested peripherals. Even extra money for speakers if you want them.

u/jakegamz · 1 pointr/vinyl

Assuming this table has a built in pre-amp and has rca output (Red and White) I would suggest some mid range computer speakers. This way you don't need a receiver.

Maybe something like this.

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Speaker-System-Z323-Subwoofer/dp/B002FU5QM0/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1419555581&sr=1-11&keywords=Logitech+speakers'

EDIT: Looked it up... it does have a pre-amp and rca output.

u/Invaliddt · 1 pointr/gadgets

I had these Logitech Speakers while I stayed in an apartment. If I played it at max volume, pretty much everyone in the complex would have heard them. Definitely would recommend.

u/TheMacGoesRiiing · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace
u/skepticalmonkey · 1 pointr/PS3

I had a computer monitor -> PS3 setup for a while. The first thing you want to do is make sure your monitor is HDCP compatible.

After this, I purchased this: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-Adapter-Cable-Meters/dp/B001TH7T2U/

For sound, I got a refurbished version of this for $35:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Speaker-System-Z323-Subwoofer/dp/B002FU5QM0/

In your case, I would get the splitter as /user/ruttabejga noted, and use that instead.

Hooked it up all together and worked like a charm. Just had to changed the audio settings to Multi-AV Out.

Tip: If you don't see picture the first time after switching video cables, hold your power button on for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep, this will reset your video settings.

u/aestheticintuition · 1 pointr/audiophile

Hi!!

Super noob question but if I buy the Micca PB42X and 3.5 TRS to RCA am I all set to go? No need for an external DAC or amp?

Also my current set up (which I'm giving away) is a cheap 2.1 (amazon link) so I don't know if I should look for a 2.1 system again or if these MIccas are good enough!

Thanks!

u/ElrondHubward · 1 pointr/vinyl

The LP60 comes with a built in preamp, which is a great feature, but do you have a receiver, or power amp? If not, make sure you get active aka powered speakers. It can't power passive speakers on its own. If [these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FU5QM0/ref=as_at?creativeASIN=B002FU5QM0&linkCode=w61&imprToken=7hyEk2zpE.-O.OYL5z58HQ&slotNum=1&tag=musehelix-20) are the Logitech speakers you were thinking of, I actually think those would do very well for you right now. They're powered, under budget, and it looks like they accept multiple input sources, meaning you'd be able to use an aux cord (or BT if you pay extra) to use them for your phone or computer as well. Just don't expect them to be shaking the walls down--they're 9 inches high and 20 Watts.

u/Tjk135 · 1 pointr/GameDeals

As /u/mrpeppr1 suggested, get some good headphones and a 25$ usb desktop mic. I use a old logitech mic, and a set of 90$ Sennheiser headphones. I've used this setup since June 2010 and it's still running strong!! Check out this buying guide over at head-fi.org

u/Padna33 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I suggest you buy a microphone and headphones separately. I have this microphone and it works perfectly for gaming voice chats. Get good quality headphones and you will be good to go. These should do the job.

The advantage is that you will get much better sound quality because gaming headsets tend to overlook that aspect, especially in that price range.

u/halflife22 · 1 pointr/hardware

Here you go. It uses a USB port so you can still use your stereo system.

u/valkyr · 1 pointr/buildapc

I had a pair of Sennheiser HD595s that I used a Zalman Clip-Mic with, but the quality was deplorable so I used my Logitech USB desktop mic instead. The quality was much better, though my audience could hear my keyboard much more loudly. I've heard plenty of people say their Zalman clips sound fine, so could be I just had a bad one, but my friends could not bear the quality.

u/iPokGai · 1 pointr/buildapc

most people from headfi will probably tell you to get a separate headphones w/ either a cheap Logitech mic or a Zalman clip on mic. As for headphones there are plenty of choices and you'll have to do your own research.

Its not that expensive and does a rather great job. Headsets are kind of a pain to deal with, especially if you are going to be wearing it a lot. Good luck!!

u/Acknown3 · 1 pointr/gamingpc

I would avoid Platronics, although the Corsair 1500 is a decent headset if you absolutely need the microphone attached to the headset. As far as wireless ones go, I have the Logitech G930, and they're good. Although they have an annoying perk; the audio quality is absolutely horrible until you open the driver software, manually adjust the sliders to any value, close the program (the sliders will then randomize), and then set them again. It isn't really worth the hassle.

I know that your budget is under $100, but you should at least consider this:

Audio Technica AD700

Logitech Desktop Mic

The total would be $120, but the AD700 is considered to have the best soundstage out of any headphone for its price range. I have the 900's, and they're absolutely perfect for games like BF3.

u/HRP · 1 pointr/gaming

I use this and it works flawlessly. Never get any complaints about background noise or anything.

u/ChristianTMI · 1 pointr/letsplay

Okay so I watched Episode 1 of Grandia.
My Thoughts:

  • The fraps timer in the corner bothered me. I think it is quite easy to crop it out when editing and it would make the video look a bit more polished.

  • The game's audio, especially in cutscenes, was at points kind of stuttery. It is probably just the emulators fault but if that can be fixed I guess it is worth a mention.

  • You should try investing in a better mic. Logitech as a super cheap one with pretty good commentary, I use one so you can check out the beginning of one of my videos to get an idea for the quality. Having good audio quality generally just makes the video seem better.

  • Your commentary was good. Some cutscenes are kind of boring you can go ahead an talk in between the dialogue to keep things going. You seem to know the game well which is great. When you did speak the commentary overall was kinda funny. You got a couple of chuckles from me throughout the video. :)

  • Video quality was good. It is a PS1 game that is being emulated so I didn't expect much but the game was presented clearly so that is good.


    That is pretty much it the video was good, just get a better mic and it would improve the video ten fold.

    Here is the mic I use:
    http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-981-000246-USB-Desktop-Microphone/dp/B002RL84OY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342815820&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+usb+desk+mic
u/T-K · 1 pointr/letsplay

Here's the deal. Get only the most necesary equipment right now, and don't skimp on the cost. Most microphones are good, and I particularly like Logitech's desktop mic as a starting point. HOWEVER, remember that the more you shell out on equipment the better it will sound.

Get a good set of headphones, at least a pair you can use whilst recording. Having the mic pick up your game audio is a bad idea. If you can get a good headset, even better. I know it's an expensive option, but I found the Astro A30 to be totally worth every penny (start with just the headset, get a mixamp if you want to use multiple audio sources without switching around cables)

As for a capture device, there's plenty of options, but again, remember that the more you pay, the better quality the capture will be and the better the software will be for capturing. I personally don't use a capture device, but I have a friend who uses a hauppage HD PVR and swears by it. Also remember that the device you get may or may not be usable for live streaming if you want to get into that. Also keep in mind that the low cost recording devices are fairly limited in what they can do. They might be good for older consoles and the wii, but they won't be good for the 360 or ps3 at all.

As far as software goes, invest in a copy of FRAPS for PC recording. You buy it once and they give updates for free. Also get editing software. If you record both the mic and the game audio to the same file (like how fraps does it) you won't need anything special, just something to re-encode the files so they aren't so huge. I can't remember what I did before just dropping in my video to Sony Vegas, but I like SUPER for converting most things. If you want to get into live streaming, you'll need Xsplit it's the easiest way to get streaming up and running.

u/Sikul · 1 pointr/leagueoflegends

I've had this stick mic for almost 6 years now. Works like a charm. It's awesome because you can buy a nice pair of headphones and not have to worry about getting a headset. It sorta picks up a little more than I'd like though, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have someone loud that's near you when you're on the computer.

u/ImperatorFeles · 1 pointr/TagPro

u/Whatchamazog · 1 pointr/hardware
u/h4rris · 1 pointr/starcraft

I tend to somehow break my headset every couple months, so I like to use a separate USB desktop mic. This also widens your options since you can use a pair of headphones without a mic.

u/ASUEEGRAD2019 · 1 pointr/ASU

Just get a cheap webcam. This is the one I used for 3 years: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2MK1BSM9QO7CA&keywords=logitech+webcam&qid=1562811042&s=gateway&sprefix=logi%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-9

It's very straightforward and every course has a "practice" exam that has you go through the motions. Just don't try to cheat because you think you can get away with it since it's setup like this! I have been in classes with people that got caught and they take it very seriously.

u/evil0sheep · 1 pointr/oculus

These are available for $159, if that's outside your price range I'd suggest a pair of Logitec C310 webcams. I don't know if the OVRVision camera does hardware synchronization, but with the Logitech cams you'll definitely need to synchronize the camera in software to get good depth data (or to keep your brain from getting really confused)

u/Caleb10E · 1 pointr/buildapc

Logitech C310, but I would just wait for the C920 to go on sale since it frequently goes down to $50. It's a way better webcam than the C310.

u/Manigeitora · 1 pointr/Twitch

I'm not 100% sure, but it's probably no to the first and maybe to the second. Most laptops only have a video output port, not an input port, so there would be no way to output video from your PC to your laptop screen. As far as the webcam goes, AFAIK only one instance of OBS can stream to a channel at any given time, so you couldn't stream the webcam from your laptop and the game from your PC at the same time. The only way I can think of to do that would be to have a video chat open between your PC and your laptop and capture the display from the video chat (what the laptop's webcam is showing) on the PC.

There are some pretty decent low-cost webcams like the [Logitech C310] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Logitech+C310&qid=1558105229&s=gateway&sr=8-2), which is what I use. Honestly, your lighting setup is just as important as your webcam, if not more important.

Mid-low end mic technology hasn't changed in the last decade so for 90% of purposes any $10 mic will do.

No one really uses a stand alone mic for VOIP/SKYPE anymore since they're built into so many devices, but you can probably get USB mic or MIC/Webcam for really cheap.

I set up a price watch on this webcam for when it next falls below $49.99. But that's a high quality webcam for streaming for Twitch.

You can save even more by getting one of these now. (60% off now)

  1. Here 19.99
  2. Here 24.99

Also could someone please tell me if this webcam would be good for streaming? I saw that it was on sale and am very tempted.

So I have a Logitech C910 which has since been succeeded by the C920. I didn't pay anywhere near the list price for it though because I got it on a Black Friday sale a few years back. I invested a bit more in my camera because back then it was my primary point of contact for my girlfriend and some friends who live around the country.

That being said, I'm a big fan of the Logitech brand and the C910 was my second Logitech camera. In terms of budget webcams, I have heard good things about the C310: Here
Oddly enough it looks like it might actually be the deal of the day for about $15 off of what Amazon usually sells it for (you can see that info here: Price Tracker)

The Microsoft Lifecams Here are nice too, but a bit more expensive and I've had a little more trouble with those. My girlfriend has a Lifecam and the picture quality is great, but for whatever reason her computer has trouble detecting it. In order to make it work she has to unplug and replug the camera each time she boots her PC. I'm not saying that's common, just an issue I've personally been involved with.

Although, yes, duct taping a microphone to the side of a pair of headphones is also a perfectly viable solution. I've seen some people do it. There are plenty of options besides buying an overpriced piece of crap "gaming" product.

u/androidchrist · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I would absolutely LOVE this webcam. I write for a website online, and they want me to livestream some games but my computer doesn't exist anymore. With this webcam I could still contribute to the video streams and the live webcasts so I won't be as absent now that I don't have a computer anymore. I have access to one at night and one or two days a week, but not one of my own (long story involving a literal explosion).

Conviviality is one of thsoe words you don't hear all too often.

u/Radioactive_Zebra · 1 pointr/buildapc

My mistake; I completely forgot about that part.

Unfortunately, getting a good monitor that has a built in camera is hard to find these days.

My recommendation is to go with a cheap webcam that you can attach to any monitor [like this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425845326&sr=8-2&keywords=logitech+webcam) and then attach it to a cheaper monitor [like this one] (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-e2425swd) to stay in your price range, but that monitor does not support IPS so your viewing angles will suffer, but the monitor is signifigantly cheaper and got good reviews. If the webcam is necessary, that option looks the best.

web cam

u/drewlinskii · 1 pointr/Twitch

In all honesty, the Cam and Mic that I use in my setup is probably the best "budget" equipment.

Webcam:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LVZO8S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mic:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K72ENKE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But to be honest, the mic isn't the best for streaming. It has a good sound for recording YouTube videos especially since you can edit the mic quality, but the mic does have a weird static background noise. It's barely audible, especially when streaming a louder game, but the mic does sound great, especially if you're just starting out (which I'm assuming you are).

Edit: Kinda forgot to mention, but I also had to buy a scissor arm.

u/Inutsu · 1 pointr/letsplay

For a cam I would suggest this https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6

It doesn't look spectacular but it's cheap and looks fine when it's just a portion of the screen.

And for the mic I'd suggest just messing around with your settings, that'll fix almost any audio balance problem. That way you don't blow anything now and you can save up for a good mic!

u/NotAloneInMyBasement · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

It may be hard to fit an i5, as the difference in price is quite large, so it may start to stretch your budget. A higher-end CPU won't give you as much of a boost in gaming as a better GPU (which I've managed to fit into a revised list).

The deal that /u/Lavendar13 suggested is great, but would go over your build's budget in its current state, and could potentially require an update that you'd be unable to perform without another CPU. You mentioned video/photo-editing as something you may do, but I'm not sure of the gains an i5 would have over an i3 in that regard.

The build mock-up as it is now is very close to your maximum budget, leaving a bit of room for a cheap mic and a webcam. I'm not sure about webcam prices and such, so I don't know how well the budget would accommodate something like that.

EDIT:

The Logitech C270 webcam is $25 on Amazon and has a microphone built into it, it seems. I can't speak for the quality, but it seems to be alright based on the customer reviews on Amazon and the reviews given on Engadget. It'd put you over budget by $7, however (which could be accommodated for by finding alternatives for a few components).

Also, is it possible for you to use Dreamspark for an OS?

u/egg_enthusiast · 1 pointr/OMSCS

Logitech C270

I have an older model of this and it works well enough. It's on sale for $20 as well, so that's good.

u/nicerakc · 0 pointsr/cars

Sorry but they never really made good speakers. For 1000, you can build a much better real home theater than this. About on par with a Bose system, 3" drivers with an 8" sub isn't a real theater system, even if they paid for a THX logo.


I'm not bashing anyone who has bought one, they're not bad. You can just get everything else and more with a cheaper receiver + speaker combo.

u/scottymoze · 0 pointsr/hometheater

I setup a Logitech Z-5500 in my bedroom with TV, Xbox One, cable box and PC connected, and a Logitech Harmony remote. It sounds great for a HTIB in the bedroom. I play music and movies, games and TV at varying volumes throughout the day/night.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-THX-Certified-Digital-Surround-Speaker/dp/B0002WPSBC

Here's the modern version of the product, both are THX certified (if that matters):

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Z906-Surround-Sound-Speakers/dp/B004M18O60

And then if your budget is lower, there's non-THX versions of these PC surround systems for less, from Logitech and others. Just check into what connections you have/need vs what these offer.

If you can't put the sub on the floor, you could plop it up on a desk (far from ideal, but an option) with a foam pad, something like this or you could DIY:

https://www.amazon.com/Auralex-Acoustics-SubDude-II-Subwoofer-Isolation/dp/B00DI5AXNI

Note I ran my own speaker cables and connector pins with my Z-5500 since the cables they come with are super thin and kinda meh. Good luck!

u/Remo_253 · 0 pointsr/hometheater

>what the difference is between "faux 5.1" and true 5.1 sound

True 5.1 comes from 5 actual speakers and a subwoofer (the .1 part of 5.1). Faux 5.1, while I've not seen that term used, would be trying to create the 5.1 experience with fewer speakers. Some headphones do this and while a good pair can be convincing to your ears it's not real 5.1 surround.

5.1, or Surround Sound, gives direction to the sound. In movies most of the dialog comes from the center speaker because the actors are in front of you, sounds occurring to the left or right of the screen come from the left or right speaker respectively. The rears are mostly used for ambient, non directional, sounds.

>Do I need a sound card........Does the quality of the sound card affect much

No and it depends.

The on board audio is very good these days. You'd want a sound card if you were really serious about getting the absolute best sound reproduction. There's a quality difference but for most things you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

>Do only special sources offer 5.1, such as Blu-ray?

Most DVDs and pretty much all Blu-rays will have 5.1 sound as well as many games. Not so much for music.

>Should I consider a system with a soundbar, or one with many speakers?

No sound bars, they're crap. They range from real crap to almost decent crap but they're still crap.

>Is there a noticeable quality or price difference between wired and wireless or Bluetooth?

Can't speak to the price difference but I'd be suspect of wireless and only go that route if you absolutely can't run wire to the rear speakers. Just as with networking, wired is best, more reliable.

>Do I need a receiver

No, your motherboard has everything you need. Look at the manual, it explains how to connect a 5.1 system, what gets plugged into what. You can hook up to a receiver and add any speakers you want but it's not necessary, a good PC speaker set will do you just fine.

>What are some better recommendations?

Logitech has a good range PC speakers, the inexpensive to the expensive (for a PC speaker system). And then there's the insanely expensive.

Read the reviews, pay attention to the speaker wire length, especially for the rear speakers. The more expensive ones may have more, and more convenient, controls.

Depending on your room you may want to put the rears on a stand.

u/tekkski · 0 pointsr/audiophile

I have had Logitech Z5500's for some time and in my humble opinion they are the best I have ever heard in regards to computer speakers.They are a bit more expensive than what you are looking for BUT will never need an upgrade. EVER. ( As far as computer speakers go ) I used them as my main speakers in the living room and they ( and the sub ) rocked the whole house. [ These are it on Amazon but you may be able to pick up a good used set cheaper? Well worth it, I would sell you mine but I really wouldn't I love them lol] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0002WPSBC/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used)

I own the t20's and have had them for about 6 ish years. They're still great and I got them when they were on sale for around $60. You might see the t40's get as low as $90 too, which are a slight step up.

If you really want the sub / surround feel, upgrade to the g500 / g750 series, but now you're at the same price as the Razer Leviathan (don't buy that, please OP)

Get yourself to a best buy and you can probably test the t40's

I'll probably upgrade to the C920 soon, but the Logitech C270 is what I've used for years and it's never failed me. Pretty ok quality and good settings adjustment so even my garbage green screen works beautifully. If you're on a tight budget, this is a great cam.

So I'm looking for computer speakers and I see some with subwoofers such as the Logitech Z333 and some without such as the Bose Companion 2 Series III. I'm wondering why some sets have subwoofers and some don't. Would the ones without have a weak bass, if so why don't all systems have them? I'm going to be playing Metal and Hardcore punk, so I won't need to shake the house with bass, but I'd like to be able to evenly hear it, do speakers need subwoofers?

u/Blais_Of_Glory · 0 pointsr/Gaming_Gear

First, check out /r/headphones.

Second, avoid most gaming companies as their audio often sounds like crap.

Go with Sennheiser. They're an audio company, not a gaming company so their products sound much better. Check prices on Amazon: Sennheiser as they're much cheaper there compared to the Sennheiser website. The Sennheiser PC 360 Special Edition or GSP 300 should suit your budget. If you want to spend a little more, go for the GAME ONE or GAME ZERO. If you want to save even more money, look for them on eBay.

Another good brand to check out is Audio Technica.

I hope this helps.

If you absolutely need HD quality from your webcam, then you can get an external one for under $30.

These built-cameras are used almost exclusively for video chatting. Most people's connections, I'm guessing, can't support HD video chatting (keep in mind both parties need a fast connection, and they're both streaming and broadcasting in HD). Probably will in the next five years, when this generation is at the end of its lifecycle.

So yeah, this is one of those things that most consumers don't care about right now. Part of me thinks Apple will be unveiling some new groundbreaking camera lens technology in the next couple of years, and these sort of "huh why did Apple do that?" moments are just part of their marketing long-game.
