Do you use speakers or headphones primarily for your PC gaming? Personally I've never felt comfortable with headsets, and I like big sound that's simply unachievable with small drivers. Currently I run my PC and Xbox through a set of Logitech Z-5500s which are great in my small office (about 10sqm).
Wireless headphones are the best thing ever.
Right... Except the less RF waves you have flying anywhere near your head at any point of the day, the better it is for you. Yeah, I know that we are constantly surrounded by RF radiation, and yes, I know that Wi-Fi frequency is by far not anywhere close to cellprones, but STLL, better to minimize the amount of wireless devices in your household when possible, without going crazy over it off course.

will the Lyr even be good for the k702? it's designed for extremely power hungry orthodynamic headphones. and Schiit's earlier Asgard was reportedly not a good match with the k701/702.
I use my k701 with a M3 or Dynalo and it's great.
The k701 are an extremely power hungry set of headphones. Don't let their ohm rating fool you they need juice big time to sound good. The Lyr has enough power to melt your brain and destroy most normal headphones hooked up to it if you aren't careful.
Schiit is a great company. American made and great price/performance!!! I can't wait to get my hands all over that Schiit.
rite... show me studies.
Anyway, I use speakers generally. Really crappy Dell speakers that I got for $25.
I have Sennheiser HD595s but I don't like using them anymore because the speakers are good enough for my tastes. Maybe if I was watching a movie with really high quality audio it would be worth it.
Oh, and I don't play games where sound matters too much anymore (i.e. FPS). I play HoN and that's about it... Don't have the system specs anymore or the care to play others.
I've owned the k701's for over 3 years and have tried probably a dozen different amps with them, I know how power hungry and picky they are.
Like I said earlier, I use my k701 with either a M3 or Dynalo, both great DIY designs that more than adequately power them.
Instead of trying to bruteforce power the k701's, I'd personally look for a powerful enough, tried and tested amp that you know will work great with them. Good luck with the Lyr.
I just got these 2 weeks ago. Incredibly comfortable and sound great. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting, unlike my older Sennheiser PX100s.
I also have a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers, but I'm trying to get rid of them. I don't use them that much since I live in apartments and will continue to for at least the next few years.

No amp used for my headphones. Just connected straight to the headphone jack on my desktop (on-board audio). Don't really see the need for an amp, as the output volume level isn't even at 25%.
WTF?
you have sennheiser 595's (which are AMAZING) and you don't use them? instead you use piece of crap dell speakers?
you've said a lot of stuff that pissed me off, but this takes the cake.
that's like saying oh I have a 60" plasma tv but i prefer using my 24" crt tv from the 80's....nuts
To those people using headphones, do you use a separate amp? I don't see how headphones could possibly sound very good running straight off the line-out.
you trident, are a master troll or totally retarded. there's no comparison between sen 595's and $20 dell speakers. get your ears checked
lol, so do you walk everything with foil wrapped over your head?
