I purchased one of the original numberd AKG 7XX back when they had that debacle around balanced drivers, reading other people comments I decided to live with it which I regret because I have barley used them due to imbalance. So now I’m looking to upgrade and looking for any suggestions. These...

Would something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252673784767 Work?

I have posted an option in this exact thread for about $30, just do a search with my tag. have been using it for months now with no issue.

Haha got me so excited was like durr but nope that wasn't the issue    It has to be a software issue might have to reset and re-update the device.   when my phone is plugged in it even randomly does things like it gets controlled by a ghost opening apps changing songs etc.

Anyone else had issues with connecting an iPhone by usb to the x7. Mine no longer connects I know it is charging but power icon doesn't show up on phone and can't play music through it.

HAHA, okay i gave up after using 2 different cables, used a 3rd cable and boom it works! talk about sensative

Hmm, my x7 is never connected to a computer, i go to connect it so i can do firmware update and no matter what i do the computer doesn't detect the X7.   tried on a mac laptop and a windows laptop neither detects it.    and with MLE comment i think i may very well have a faulty Micro USB...

This gets me excited! Really good to see some solid improvements

from Aliexpress, i posted a link somewhere in this thread 

Oh no, the LE has lower impedance which has nothing to do with the power pack.   I cant speak of the noise floor as i don't have the LE

also found this nifty device   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwtKujw0toA   http://www.amazon.co.uk/Superspot%C2%AE-Adaptor-Bluetooth-Headset-Wireless/dp/B014HVNWZ2

the upgraded power pack can be bought for $25, so if white is worth $75 than sure otherwise stick with the standard.

agreed app is terrible on the iPhone, i can bluetooth music from my phone from a decent distance but to use the app i have to be within 1.5m otherwise it doesn't detect the x7 despite music playing.   not a game breaker but the app gets nearly no use i just deal with what ever setting i have.

very odd i had no such issues, maybe a difference between the ax720 and AX720+ 

Not sure about the purpose of turtle beach chat cable but i connected my old headphones to the puck and a mod mic and it worked perfectly, a regular splitter for $4 would work.   Was with my PS4.   mind you this was some time ago since i have upgraded to the X7   not sure if i'm way off...
