I love my HD558's for gaming. HD650 for music Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  More power to ya bud. I was on the edge for the longest time as I just couldn't seem to justify the price vs. features for console gaming, when compared to my MixAmp, but I ended up biting the bullet with MassDrop as I was determined to 'hear' for myself what all the hype was about this amp...

Going to give this a shot tonight. The more I use my X7 the more I love it! 

Yep- that was my issue and changing the BT volume corrected it. Not sure why I didn't try that in the first place. lol   BO3 had a horrible sound with the FPS setting (crumpled paper/chipmunks/12yr olds- LOL)- at least for me. The sound is MUCH better with my current settings (described earlier). 

My current version is the 2015.    But there's hope- based on the recommended settings from another forum:   SBX Studio- Surround 100%; Crystallizer 70%; Bass 20% (with Crystalizer and Bass being optional) Cinematic- set to Full Equalizer- set to Acoustic w/ level at 2dB   I gave this...

Yep- that's what I'm currently using. It's 'ok'- but definitely not as good as my MixAmp. I'm a sweaty try-hard when I play FPS's and if that's as good as it gets, then I guess I'll maintain my disappointment with the X7 for competitive play. But I absolutely love it for other games! GTAV...

It seems that every review I've read references the X7's use on PC; however I bought my X7 for console use only (PS4). I finally got mine in last Thursday, and I spent the whole weekend tweaking it and trying different settings. Here's my set up and take on it:   Set up: PS4; X7 standard (LE...

Yep- just ordered one. $360 for MassDrop standard X7 ($300 + $20 shipping) + BT-W2 dongle ($40) still saved me $60 over the Limited Edition X7 from MassDrop.    However, it was definitely a tough decision to choose between ordering my X7 through MassDrop or Creative, as Creative is offering...

I just ordered mine through the MassDrop today. I didn't go with the LE/Bluetooth package as I don't plan on ever using my X7 with any external speakers so I couldn't justify the extra $$$ for it. I'll be pairing my X7 with some Sennheiser HD650's to start. Main use will be for console gaming...

I've been debating between the G5 and the X7, and have been extensively reading review after review on the X7. However, the more I read reviews about the X7- especially for console gaming (PS4), the more and more I'm leaning towards sticking with my trusty Astro MixAmp (which sounds amazing in...

Right on bud! I know you'll be very happy with the mixamp/ADG1 set up. 

There's nothing wrong with your 598's. The 'whoa' factor is gone because you have already settled in to hearing music from a higher quality set of cans than what you were used to. Welcome to the never-ending quest of the audiophile zealot to hear 'great sound'... :)

The reason why the Astro MixAmp is so popular is because it's actually a nice amp for the price. Good luck finding anything better in that price range. However, you've already dismissed them based on sound snob reviews without trying them for yourself- a shame really. I would suggest going over...
