Would you consider Philips Fidelio X2 a better headphone then X1 for competitive gaming or having fun whilst gaming?
I'd really love to hear your opinion on differences between X1 and X2 in that subject.
Sorry for the duplicate, but can't wait to get an answer, whilst I think other post got lost in avalanche of replies.
It would seem, from reviews, in terms of sound, the X2 would have that edge....by alot? Probably not. I owned the X1 and to me, it was still a good headphone for competitive fps. There are headphones that have a slightly more edge over the x1/x2 in terms of competitive fps. But overall, I feel that the x1/x2 can be an immersive headphone, yet be a competitive headphone for FPS...to a certain level of course.
But just because you can pinpoint enemies better, doesnt always mean you will strike first....you have to see how well you work that controller or K/M, and how to really play the game.
Ever since I got my Recon3d and x1(its sold), My game did get much better, not so much competitively but more in immersion. To be honest, I can play without sound and still come up top 3 with a good KD (not bragging but its true). I am by no means perfect or an awesome player, but i can hold my ground very well.
But sound gets me so immersed that, every single aspect of the game and my set up, feels like evrything comes together in which, I am just havung so much fun when playing with friends.
So far right now Im leaning towards the competitive sound, since i dont have the x1 or any immersive headphone. Im actually using the Phillips SHP9500 and im quite surprised by its sound quality. Its actually good for competitive gaming although i have not compared it with the hd598 or ma900.... So i still have more listening to do.
So, in short words, i prefer to have a balanced headphone than an all out competitve fps type of headphone. Everyone is different...but as long as i can still hear footsteps or soldiers voices out loud (BF4)....i feel the x1 and x2 should do quite right for people that may feel the same way i do. I just cant wait any longer for my AKG K7XX
