Just out of curiosity, is there anything that beats the X7 with a vastly expanded budget or is it pretty much the king of gaming atm in terms of VSS?

Guessing you mean you'd take the Hel as a stereo only device and not over the G6 for gaming? Just clarifying, but looks like G6 it is for me.

As the topic says, I'm trying to narrow down my best options for gaming given an $800 budget. I've got a slightly larger than average head so comfort is a big thing for me. Additionally, I live in an isolated area so I'll be ordering whatever I decide on it the dark. Given that I have a...

Glorious Model O is generally praised from what I've read. I'm personally using the Logitech G Pro Wireless, and it blows my mind how precise, smooth and light it is. I was real hesitant about any wireless peripherals in regards to latency and battery life. Logitech seems to have nailed the...

Hey @Mad Lust Envy , I've been a lurker on and off for a while. I've actually suggested this very thread to many folks for quite some time.. but now I'm here to seek advice for myself. I've got a budget of ~$800 for quality headphones for 90% competitive gaming and 10% music/fun via my PC...
