Hey guys, I have fully narrowed down my two options to these 2 headphones.
 
The Fidelio X1's and the AKG q701s.
 
I will be using a sound blaster z soundcard, and an Antlion Modmic with the cans.
 
I will mainly play CS:GO competitive with friends, I will talk a lot to them on programs such as mumble and teamspeak.
 
I will also play BF3/BF4, and watch a lot of videos.
 
So, with those standards, which one do you think I should buy?
 
Right now I'm thinking the X1's because of build, comfortability, and quality.

Is competitive gameplay the most important? The Q701s are known for being some of the most absolutely fantastic headphones for gaming. See it and other headphone reviews here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-update-1-4-2015-beyerdynamic-t70-added

Haven't heard the X1
 
But do have the Q701
 
Great for gaming. But I have a reaction to the material on the pads and can't wear them for long.

Well, I play a game of CS:GO with friends at least once a day. We usually play competitive, but I also play other games.
