No problem, If it was an easy question, I won't be stuck for 2 days on this forum. I was about to pick up the K702 this afternoon from a store hoping that after burning-in it is going to be as good as the Q one but i still hesitate between the K702 and Q701.
 
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!! still hope to get some answers guys.

I have the same trouble, sometimes, choosing between a red apple and a green apple

don't you think I did ? twice !!

Come on!  be serious.

I am curious aboit the Shiit. Why don't you order directly on their site. The you have something to tell us as a payback for our nice help.....lol. But honestly, the E12 is a mighty amp for his price and Fiio is the best Chinese company that I know.

holy Schiit !!! I was trying to make a simulation of the price from the US on the Schiit website, because on amazon it was costing me 170 Euros including the custom service fees, and It just validated the order !!! I was just testing !!!  looks like it is 130$ , which should be around 100 euros . but I hope they are not going to ask me for taxes !
 
So now, I ordered the Schiit magni by mistake !

You're putting too much thought into it.  Like Change said, you're comparing a green apple to a red apple.  They're both apples, they both taste great, and unless you bite into them one after the other, you'll never notice the difference in flavor.  Just get whichever is cheaper and move on with your life!  lol

Ok, I just ordered the Q701, 20 euros more expensive than the K702. I was afraid of having a too much cold sound from the k702 and I hope this extra bass won't affect the soundstage accuracy.
 
I contacted Schiit for cancelling the mistaken order of the Magni, coz i'm more hesitating between the O2 and the Vali.
 
so wait and see now.

I just played some MW2 with my new Philips X1 a few hours ago. While they are an improvement over my JVC HA-S400 in terms of competitive play, I noticed some issues with them. 
 
For instance, if an enemy is behind a wall walking, you can only hear the footsteps coming from that direction, but it doesn't go as far the wall itself.
 
So in other words, if there are enemies from a distance, you can't pinpoint exactly where they are, only if they're close you can.

Congrats, dude.  They're a great headphone and I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

I am a PC guy but I have someone else on Xbox who may be interested in a pair of headphones in the future. I know some console players use headphones  + separate mic for their system, however is the astro mixamp the only device that can configure the sound to play through the headphones and the Live chat through the mic?
 
I really do not know much about cables and such for the Xbox system, and the astro mixamp is expensive unless you get a refurbished one on ebay, which is kinda risky. I think his budget is limited so I am trying to see such a setup would be affordable vs buying another gaming headset.
 
Thanks.
