How you like the mayflower vs the astro mixamp?
Oh well, let me put it like this:
Mayflower Arc revolution my audio experience, in the similar magnitude than XIM did it with my console gaming experience.
My games sounds like the audio engineers and composers design it at the audio recording studio, never though gaming can sound this good. I can hear so many sounds and cues that I was unaware off before, and listen all the detail of the music, sound effects and dialog.
Did you see videos of color-blinded people watching colors for the first time? well that's the reaction I got and many can have.
Just like XIM is a product from a small company in US and all the units are handmade with a 10 years warranty.
I ask to my audio expert friend, who help tune me presets for the MixAmp to try it and he said: "
First where I can get one for me, and second THIS is how should sound, now do you understand when I told the other device was making it artificial?". - I do, can hear it now.
But I must say, ARC makes gaming headset sounds great and tight and will pop up its defects, however to really take advantage of its potential an audiophile grade headphones is a must and any entry headphone from $50 will sound better than most gaming headsets over $150.
