On closed back set, anybody ever tried the Bose QC25 in a gaming environment? Are they any good for sound whoring and positionning?

Mad is talking great of the PC 360 headset, but am looking for a cloed back set.   Is the PC 350 SE any close in performance for gaming?   Anybody has any information on that?   Or anybody could suggest something different but as performing for gaming?     Thanks in advance.

Would like to get comments on the Senn PC 350 headset that I would hook to an Astro Mix Amp, to solely play FPS on Xb1. I currently use my Stax SR 202 / SRM212 Headphone/amp with a small clip on as a mic, but would like better positioning and closed back to eliminate outside noise, and was...

Hi guys, watching the COD Chanpionship last weekend, all the players where wearing IEM headphones, underneath their Astro headphones used for the mic. Mad only reviewed one set of IEM, why are those guys all using IEM, except for sound isolation? Any positioning advantages in FPS using IEM...

Thanks to all for your good advises and recommendations, it helped me make a decision. I now, understand better and will save a few hundred dollars, also, finally, this old Stax will be used for something. :D About The XB1 optical connection, yes it has been updated, and get thru digital DTS.

Thanks for the comments, Itreally helped me confirm that I should not spend money for nothing on a new set of headphones. I am not a huge user of headphones for music, I'd rather use my Classé amps/pre-amps and Martin Logan setup and listen direct. For the gaming; I play via XBox One so, I...

Thanks to NamelessPFG, that recommended me that thread, it is very interesting. Even if I own that set of Stax 202/212 for many years, I did not used them that much, but never wanted to get rid of them. I'd rather listen direct with my Martin Logan SSequel 2 electrostatic speakers. But...

Thanks NamelessPMG, after reading this thread, I decided to get rid of my Turtle Beach wireless, and I ordered an Astro Mixamp to really feel thru define sound positioning in my FPS. I was planning to buy Q701's to mix with the Mixamp, but I have that set of Stax 202/212 siting in my basement...

Anybody ever tried for gaming; Stax 202 with 212 amp, and the Astro Mixamp. I wonder how this setup will work in FPS like COD for positioning

Hello MLE I have a set of Stax 202 with the 212 amp; I have just ordered an Astro Mixamp, not received yet to hook to my xb1 for the Dolby signal. Do you think the Q701 would perform much better for FPS games like COD. I am looking for a set for gaming, since for music the 202 are giving me...

Anybody knows when the Astro 2013 Mixamp will be available in Canada or USA, and where??? Cant find them anywhere... Thanks.
