Gaming Using Headphones Vs 7.1 Speakers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been playing computer video games right after the invention of the wheel in every configuration possible in both video and audio. I went from a highfalutin 5.1 surround system to mutiple experiments with 2.1 systems.but nothing engaged me fully in the gaming until now. Set up was again very easy with the dongle connection to the computers USB, download the JBL Quantum app and you are at the starting gate. Click on the 7.1 channel set up and it will launch a video on how to configure the headphones with Windows.This is when the fun starts. Press test after configuration and you will hear the 7.1 surround test pattern swirling around your head.Very cool. It took a little while for my brain to adapt to the ambience that these headphone provide and doing so wirelessly! Footsteps, voices in various enviroments, shot gun blast, and explosions, drew me into the game.Soon the headphones disappered and the gaming expierence became more pronouced and involving. Even my old games that I played over a million times had a new lease on life. But wait theres more. Besides my music library in my computer, I also stream music. Now I can listen to music with these headphones without being tied down to the computer. In fact the distance from the computer was very very impressive. Did I like these? Absolutly killer for gaming and music! They have not left my head!

I love these headphones. I use them on my computer for gaming and for music. Using a creative labs dedicated sound card to power them they really have a good clean sound. The bass is there with some thump and the mids and highs are there without being blown out or over shadowed. I have a pair of Audio-technnica ATH-A550z and I think the Tascam have a better sound. The fit is not quite as sealing as I would like but everyone has a different head shape so I know one size fits all usually fits none. For the price I definitely recommend them.

Used for front presence speakers in 7.1 surround system. High quality.

I run all Klipsch for my 7.1.4 and the surround speakers simply weren't doing the job in context (the mains are Cornwall IV's for example). So I replaced the Klipsch RP 502 II's with the RP 600 II's and am enjoying a much better surround experience.

I've had these speakers as front LR in my 7.1 system for about 6 months. I'm so glad I went with Polk. I've had lots of brands but this is my first Polk system. I started my selection with 11 brands and narrowed it down to Polk. I felt like all of the other brands were some kind of compromise. Out of my final 3 choices it was also the only one that was not way overpriced for a high quality speaker. My room is a multi-purpose family room with lots of acoustic challenges and the 265-LS fronts do a great job of filling the room. I'm running a Polk R300 for center and RC60i's for both side and rear surrounds.

I used these pads to add an additional 2 speakers to the 7.1 system (front upper). The pads went between the main front speakers and the additional two front speakers and they isolate and counter any feed back between the speakers.

I have been using the MM7025 to power my front left and right speakers in a 7.1.4 setup for around four years. It seamlessly integrates with my Marantz SR7010 AVR in both form and function. There was a measurable difference in my front stage after adding this amplifier versus powering from the AVR alone. I have had zero issues with the unit and highly recommend it.

I recently sold my high end 7.1 channel surround sound system and speakers as it was taking up a lot of space and just wanted something with good sound but looked better in our area and the ARC did not disappoint and I paired it with a pair of sonos one speakers for surrounds. I feel the ARC paired with the One speakers as surrounds not only replaces my old system but sounds better! Now just need to get a sub to pair with them to complete the system!

I use these as the left and right front in my 7.1 home theater. Center front is two Control Ones in a series, and the rest are single Control Ones. Subwoofer is 15' 750 watt JBL. I replaced the Control Fives because after years of abuse the LF driver surrounds gave up. There is an LED that lights when the speakers are overdriven.I ignored it. Good professional studio monitor speakers. You will need mounts, and they ate pricey.

I set them as rear speakers.Sonos 7.1.4 surround Dolby Atmos system is amazing.Must have
