Okay nice thanks.
 
hmm not sure... why is he selling it? And what would the price be?

Haha, it's me (check out my signature).  I'm selling it because I bought three headphones to compare and pick one, and I decided to keep the Q701.  They're both great in their own ways, but they have very different sound signatures and I just prefer the Q701 more.  If I could afford to keep both, I would, but I need to sell the X1 to buy an amp for the Q701.
 
You can PM me for other questions on it, if you like.  I don't want to turn this into the classifieds.

So I just returned the Skullcandy Crusher (dem headaches), and bought something else...




With how good the HS-15 has been to me, especially comfort, I can only imagine the semi-open model will fit me even better. This, alongside my soundbar purchase will keep me more than busy enough in terms of audio for a good long while.

Tis me again :)
 
I've decided I'm going to give the PC 360's a shot (despite a warning from one user who didn't enjoy them). I'll be also getting a Mixamp Pro. I'd just like to ask a couple of things before pulling the trigger.
 
It was mentioned that I may need an additional amp to comfortably power the PC 360's. I'll probably buy the headset and Mixamp first and see how I get along (seeing how I'm a low volume listener), but should I wish to add an amp, what would be a good match (my current headphones are K240 mk II's so if I could get something to suit both that would be great)?
 
I just want to be absolutely sure on this, the 2013 Mixamp Pro still uses Dolby Headphone, is that correct? I ask as I want to make sure it isn't a case like the DSS2 where old models did but new models don't.
 
I'd be grateful for your help.

Mixamp and pc360 are fine. For music use, yes, you'll want an amp. Gaming, no.

I'll comment on the MixAmp part - yes, it still has Dolby Headphone - http://www.dolby.com/us/en/consumer/product/gaming/headset/listing.html

I've been wanting to try the HFI-15G for a possible portable, the PX-100 iis clamp in combination of being on-ear was too much for me to tolerate more than 30 minutes. I've been told they are in a sense a better sounding and more comfortable PX-100 ii.

If it's anything like the HS-15, then yes, you can expect a huge comfort boost over the PX100-II. I didn't find the PX100-II all too comfortable, and ended up snapping the drivers off the headband in attempt to mnake them clamp less. :rolleyes:

A shame, the PX100-II is FREAKING PHENOMENAL in sound quality for the price.

The HS-15 is the most comfortable headphone I've ever owned aside from the Koss KSC75 and Yuin G1A, so that says a lot. This is why I sucked it in and took the higher than HS-15 price for the 15G. Cost me like 4x what the cheapest 15 can be found at. Still, it will be worth it to me, as I can wear it all day, lay down with it, and never induces sweat.

It's all thanks to calpis for telling me about them.

Thanks, I didn't want to bug MLE again, but I couldn't see it explicitly stated for the 2013 model. As for the amp, I'm reading the guide now.

That's good to hear. I didn't either, they pressed against my earstoo hard into the driver units causing physical pain. They resist having their clamp reduced after having them for like a year and many stretching attemps they still haven't really reduced in clamp, my head is too big for them, I ended up just giving them to my mom.
 
The PX-100 ii was one of the few Senns I actually liked and I do miss it some but I never used it much because of comfort.

It specifically says "Dolby Headphone Device" under the 2013's picture in the front of the guide.
