Looks great, although I'm a bit worried that the lipo which isn't strapped down is going to come loose.

For indoor track racing we used to run 13/15 tooth pinions, otherwise you'll prob be looking at overheating towards the end of the race.

Looks good AJ, I'd get the alloy upper front hingepin support though because I snapped loads of the plastic ones.

Having 5 drivers that close to the ear doesn't really help anything though, it's just too close to make any difference to the sound. What I mean is that the review situation doesn't really help you decide, people that have things will always review them well unless they are really terrible.

They really won't. Some headphones need amps but both astros and AD700s have such low impedance that it doesn't matter. If you care that much about the source buy an external DAC, it will help but an amp is more important.

They are a bit bass light, but if you are purely gaming with them it doesn't matter. Just because Beats get good reviews on Amazon doesn't mean they are good headphones. Headphones with surround sound are notoriously poor and it's all marketing. Still, if you want the Astros get them. They aren't awful but are by no means better than a proper pair of headphones for gaming. Plus the AD700s are some of the most comfortable headphones out there. Put a post up on any proper headphone forum and ask people who actually own both headsets.

If you are PC only just get a cheap free standing mic. There's loads of reviews for Astros on there and they aren't great. But if you really want to waste your money go ahead

Have a look here, see how well the Astros rank against the AD700s... http://www.head-fi.o...tegory/over-ear edit: I'm talking in terms of gaming, for music I'd suggest something totally different.
