Schiit Hel

We've talked about audio quality, microphone quality, and how this stacks up to the competitors.

If you're looking forward to game with a bit of music on the side I'd say get the Schiit Hel. Both are very good (I own them).

There is very little to dislike in this product. I would have liked a second digital input on the back panel and USB-C would have been a better choice. The main grip is the 1/4" to 1/8" headphone adapter for the front panel is weak and makes a poor connection. Do yourself a favor and get a better ad...

summit1G is one of the streamers who swears by their ADs, but in his case is the AD900X. That combined with a Schiit Hel, Schiit Modi-Magni Stack, Audient Evo 4, Mayflower Ark MK2 or JDS Labs Atom Stack you have a competent Audio Setup. Even if you still keep wanting the DT1990 Pro's, the DAC/AMP solutions above are valid, with some supporting Microphone Input, one of them in the XLR format.

Struggles to power anything above 250ohm which is "ok" Very very sensitive. Do not connect directly to any motherboard period. Looking for a decent powered usb hub for it. Tried a "quality" 16 port 100w hub and it cuts out often. On the plus side your getting some great audio ya just gotta pamper it...

Schiit Hel. It allows you to also regulate the microphone. I have a Hel with HD599SE with V-moda Boom Pro modded.

Early this year I bought myself a set of Philips SHP9500S headphones, and I was really enjoying my first set of decent headphones. I use them for gaming and for music listening. I use them on my xbox and my PC. Well my PC wasn't driving them as well as my Xbox was, and I knew the PC needed something...

But, I found that certain sounds in games were very loud and their was a lot of range from one sound to another. Which I thought made the Playing shooters difficult. Because you want to listen to foot steps but then a Gun blast blows your ear drums out. I personally think the Schiit hel should have some EQ adjustability for gaming.

I used to use the Astro A40 MixAmp as my DAC/AMP for my VModa M100 headphones, but then I got the Schiit Hel. The improvement to audio clarity and the overall frequency response range was really impressive for something at this price point. I absolutely love listening to music even more now with thi...

The Schiit Hel is actually a solid DAC/Amp and is leagues better than the GSX 1000. It would pair better with something like the PC38x but it would still work great even if you don't plan on the mic input (unlike the GSX 1000, though, the mic input is really good and has a built in gain dial).
