Kindly ensure that the headphones are connected to the second from the right port dedicated for the headphones and headphone connector is fully inserted in the port.


Also ensure that there are no problems on the software side (latest driver installed etc) because what you are describing cannot be possible unless there is a problem with something. If you still have your creative Fatal1ty Titanium card then try to see if the volume levels of DT770 remain the same with both cards. Also try some different headphones with both soundcards to identify the problem.
Bro I had already connected to the correct port and installed the latest drivers, but sound still felt muffled outside the box. Now the sound is fine. I went to speaker/headphones settings and set them to default, then changed them again to the desired settings. Sound became fine then. Master volume is still kept at 80, but I can hear plenty from low volume on winamp. Sound is crisp and clear. I don't know, might also be because I was used to listening on my monitor speakers, or maybe these cans required some burn in time.

There is just one other issue. When I play this music at higher volumes, there's a crackling noise with the bass. I guess these cans can't handle that much power. Even though the sound is not that high to blow my brains out. On normal volume the sound is fine though with clear deep bass.

Update: Okay so I just played Battlefield 4 while using these headphones and the same crackling noise is coming with explosion sounds. And that too at normal volume! I doubt these headphones aren't capable of handling such levels of sound. Something is definitely wrong.

I listened to that music track on my old Sennheiser HD 202 (connected to the amp port of the soundcard) at max volume, both master and of winamp. There was no crackling noise on those. So I think the problem is with the DT 770. I've emailed their support. Waiting for their response now.


Update 2: Tested the DT 770 on my older card Fatal1ty Pro and the crackling noise is still there so it confirms the problem in the headphones. I'm sending them for RMA.


Update 3: Just ran the bass frequency test and it double confirmed the fault. So much clipping/crackling especially on lower frequencies. This wasn't the case on my old HD 202. Damn defective piece!

I have bought Digital Silence DS-321D headphones for myself and they are nice apart from the bulky Anc unit.

Aoa,

Want you guys to suggest an headphone around the price of 4k.

You haven't mentioned your requirements. Do you want headphones which excel in gaming or music or movies? Do you want open back or closed? Over ear or on-ear? Regardless, these are some of the options I consider good within your budget if you want to buy new only.

If you want to buy new locally, get Edifier H850. Another slightly cheaper option is Sennheiser PX95.
If you can import from Aliexpress, get Superlux HD668b or HD681 Evo. Takstar Hi2050 and Pro 80 won't be available in your budget but you can buy similar headphones within your budget, Isk HP2011 (Pro 80) or HP2010 (Hi2050). If you can extend your budget a bit further you can buy Kingston HyperX Cloud Core from Aliexpress.

Best headphones for all day long? Wireless preferred ofc

So yeah as the title states, I'm looking for a good pair of headphones for listening to some metal. I want em to be wearable outside and everything too so if I have to go out I can still wear them. That's why I'm considering trying wireless headphones.

I know many of you will surely think this and I do too. 'It would look weird to walk around with headphones on' and after all the people jumping in buses with tight skinny pants and earplugs hanging out from the top of their shirt, this kinda looks like everyone is doing it for show off but the thing is I don't care. I can look a little maila, I dont mind if I get my music fix.

So yeah what are some good options available around here? I do have JVC gummy Earplugs and they totally rock but I have a problem with the wire hanging down to my pocket while walking and moving around
AND
The plugs go inside the ear so I literally don't hear anything from the outside. Literally nothing! (Was sitting beside the phone and didn't hear it once) So it gets dangerous while driving and I don't wanna risk it. I know its better to just use speakers in the car but everyone can't listen to metal, can they? Hehe.

So any idea if I should go for wireless or just get a wired pair? There is a new company named 'Space'. Theyve got some pretty looking headphones! But they're not wireless..

Thanks anyway! For reading :)

hey thanks Nomad :)

m50x has more isolation but very small soundstage and it does not leaks any sound outside so i use them when im traveling and places where im not alone (noisy places) however my preference is 598 because of their amazing soundstage and their accuracy... sir you just cannot get tired of listening to 598 :D

so which audio eqpmt do u have bro?
