What are you talking about when you say Annie's?

Yeah, might be an issue if you ever try out the Philips X1... Output impedance isn't listed on the specs anywhere?
Are you using this at your room/desk where you also had the Compass 2? Just curious whether you're gonna be using the SR5002 primarily for gaming and then falling back to the Compass 2 for music or what...
AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition
Hello, I need a pair of headphones for gaming, I'm among the Sennheiser HD 419, Beyerdynamic DT 235, JVC HARX900 (btw, it looks very heavy), Superlux 668B and Samson SR850.
Thanks in advance...
Sorry, but the members here could help you alot better if we had more information. Try answering these questions
Price range?
Games that you play?
Do you want competitive or fun headphones (do you want to hear footsteps and know where gunshots are coming from, or do you want explosions to sound awesome)
Are you playing in surround sound?
And will these headphones have different uses?
I think that should help us a bit more to help you
The only one of those headphones I've heard and tested extensively is the JVC HA-RX900. It's semi-open, so soundstage is pretty decent but hardly has your sound leak out (polite to others). It is pretty big, definitely a full sized can around the same size as K701 (though more bulky), yet the plastic construction is surprisingly light and not really a bother when you wear them. I used them during most of my freetime for a week with the TopPop mod, which really cuts down on resonance and increases the definition and tightness in the bass, which in turn balances the rest of the freq spectrum. Admittedly, I liked them for music more than my AD700 or Sennheiser PX100 I owned at the time, they are an amazing value and still fun for gaming (note, I didn't have any surround stuff back then, and the AD700 still wins for soundstage, "air," weight, comfort after fixing the fit, and are freaking amazing as competitive headphones). The only downside was the pleather earpads, and after a while it would get hot in there. After an hour I would take a 10-15 minute break, which was probably good for my hearing anyway.
I bought them for my best friend as a graduation gift, and to this day they are his fav headphones (though the only more expensive ones he's purchased are some Beats he bought for portable use). His dad loved them and borrowed them all the time, until he bought his own pair.
I've read a lot of people raving about the Samson and Superlux models in that price range, too.
