earfonia, Mad Lust Envy and all thank you so much for the review, testing and helping others on this thread with technical advice etc.
You are the reason I joined this forum and just purchased a standard X7. What's left to buy is a good set of headphones!
A warm set is the preferred choice as per you recommendations, but in your opinion which would be a better choice between:
1. Philips Fidelio X2
2. HiFiMan HE-400i
3. Mr Speakers Alpha Dog
I know they're in different price ranges but if money was not an issue, which of the above do you believe is a better match with the X7??
Not MLE, but the upper two should be both really good. If gaming is the focus, the X2 gets the nod IMO.
Alpha Dog is great too for sure but have not heard it myself [nor do I have a good understanding of it], so can't comment. I think it is less musical and brighter than the upper two though it apparently sounds pretty good. MLE knows more about it
I also believe it is on the first page, no? - http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-2-17-2015
