My initial impressions are extremely positive.  Incredible soundstage, very accurate and detailed, and I've never heard voice clarity so rich and clear.  I had them plugged in to my Pioneer Elite receiver the other day listening to Leona Lewis' rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"...

That sounds promising; thanks Chow. I prefer not to spend an addition couple hundred right off the bat to get the most out of the 700's at this point.  Hopefully the E12 will satisfy me at least in the short term. 

Thanks David.  To tell you the truth I haven't given it much thought.  I do own a FiiO Mont Blanc E12 that I'd use on occasion to kick up my X2's and DT 770's.  I'd imagine I may need a little something more for the 700's?.  I'm hoping the 700's blow my mind, then most likely I'll part ways with...

Just ordered a set off Amazon.  Should be here tomorrow.  REALLY looking forward to giving these a go.  Most expensive cans I've ever owned.  Hope I'm blown away.  :)  

Uncharted 4.  10/10.  Absolute jaw dropping graphics.  In some parts of the game the lighting, mist, shadows make it look incredibly life like.  The story thus far is amazing as well.  It's one of those games you do not want it to end.

  I've owned the X41's for a few years by TB and thought they sounded great until I bought and since returned the X1's, ATH-A700x's, A40's and 50's. I'm currently rolling with the E12 Monte Blanc, MixAmp Pro and the DT770 Pros and absolutely love the setup, but to be honest, I'm tired of all...

Best Buy has a product spec up for the Elite 800's which I swear wasn't up earlier in the day.  Anyway, they have a release date as 10/24/14, not sure the accuracy but it's something, maybe the TAC will be at or around there as well.  I'm drooling over these.   ...

  Thanks Still.  After a little digging it looks like the lower end P12's will be released on the 10th of July.  I wish it was the Elites, it's going to be a long wait for those.   from polygon.com   "The Ear Force P12, an amplified stereo gaming headset that offers game and chat audio...

  Still,  Are you talking about the Elite 800's being released in "in the next week or two"?  I thought they had fall or winter release dates?  I'm all over the 800's so the sooner the release the better but to clarify, where'd you hear they are a week or two away from release? 

Hey guys,  I'm looking to pair an amp up with the Astro Mix amp to give me more juice for the 80ohm DT770 Pro's.  I'm thinking about the Fiio E12 'Mont Blanc' which MLE recommended on page one of this guide.  Just want to verify the setup will work without issue and it pairs up well with the...

I just picked up the 80ohm's version today after going through and returning the X1's, and  ATHA700x's.  I think I finally, FINALLY found a set of cans I'm happy with.  I'm not an audiophile by any means but I totally love the lows these things produce.  The isolation is spot on too, I'm in my...

Will do.. Thx for the link.

Hey guys quick question, my X1's will be arriving tomorrow and I cannot wait! I bought them along with the boom pro mic and an astro mixamp. Will I need to purchase any additional cables or splitters to get everything up and running before they arrive or will all necessary cables be included...

I appreciate the responses guys.  I spent half my day yesterday reading these forums and have learned quite a bit.  I'll probably pull the trigger on the X1's today and use a mixamp.  I figured plugging a set of cans into my controller would degrade the sound.  Thanks again for the replies.

Quick question...   I think I've decided on the X1's.  Now, in order to complete this setup on the PS4, I'd need to add either the Astro Mixamp, the Turtlebeach DSS2 or the Soundblaster Recon 3D.  Do all three of those devices basically perform the same function?  I'd be able to attach a mic...

I copied this from the recommendations forum.  I hope that is OK, not sure how many gamers frequent that area, as I know most are probably here.  Anyway, thanks for any help.   -----------   I 'm looking for some recommendations on a fairly high-end set of cans for my PS4.  Up to this...

What's happening people?    I 'm looking for some recommendations on a fairly high-end set of cans for my PS4.  Up to this point, and this may seem sad to others, but the best set I've had/listened to were the A50's, so I'm looking for something that sound just as good or better.  To make a...
