Meh mine are amazing and I have the standard adaptor.
The x7 has TWO AC adapters.
Just read the review on page 1. The OP states that the upgraded (more powerful) adapter poweres speakers much better. Just read through the comments. ON THIS PAGE "I did, and I also use the E-MU XM7. The power adapter makes absolutely no difference with headphones but it does increase the dynamics of the speaker sound."
That is the general concusious around the web. If you want to run unpowered speakers you really need the extra more expensive adapter to make the speaker amp shine.
X7 is on Massdrop again with the BT-W2 transceiver (which allows for PS4 hassle free voice chat)

I'm on it! Will most likely have a G5 for sale at the end of the month if anyone is interested.
So the prodigal son has returned...
I need it for the hd800/Liquid Carbon
Y U DO DIS LENROOT??? U KNO ILL BE JEALOUS NOW.
On the more serious side, I've just found out that the Sennheiser BTD500 Bluetooth transmitter works with PS4 so it should work with the X7 too.
So what does the new software update provide? anything new ?
Also, does the new X7 software has better SBX surround then the current G5?
The Sennheiser BTD500 is more expensive and bulkier than the Creative one in the UK. I couldn't tell the difference using my HyperX Cloud 2's between the controller and the X7 so am perfectly happy using a toslink cable anyway when I want speaker audio from the PS4
Yethal what games do you play on PS4 as well?
The bluetooth dongle isn't used for games sound, it's for chat audio. Using a bluetooth dongle is much more convenient than all other ways of implementing chat on the X7.
As for the games I'm on my third Bloodborne playthrough (currently cleaning out chalice dungeons). I also have mgs5 shelved.
