I can select it but audio stops playing,and won't restart until I turn it off or switch devices.

I could only make it work with Atmos movies and general 5.1/7.1 streams. Games only recognize a 2.0 device. Guess we need games that support WS.

It flawlessly works with USB devices. I've assigned it to my USB/SPDIF converter.

Can someone recommend me a closed headphone with a detachable 3.5 mm cable and a wide soundstage? I want to use the headphonewith my vmoda boom pro mic.

NAD VISO HP50 fits the bill. Audio Technica ath MSR7 does as well, but it's pretty bright.

I guess you need the upcoming "Dolby Atmos for headphones" app to get the virtual surround working, if the Windows spatial sound is not specifically implemented into the game. I'm sure Dolby will charge something for the app when it's released. The older Dolby Headphone isn't free either.

Has anyone tried the Beyer DT1770 for gaming?

Curious if anyone has tried the Fostex T50RP Mk3 with the Mayflower vers. 1 mod for gaming?
 
I've used AKG K701 which I loved, but two pairs broke within a few months, otherwise I'd have stuck with those. Have HD598 now but want something different & better.
 
Considering K702 or Q701, but put ATH-AD700X ahead those. However, heard about Fostex recently & seen a couple reviews on Youtube and some rave about them, even more so with the ver.1 mod. Any opinions?
 
Cheers!

Just popping in to say thanks. Had the HD650s which I was using for gaming and music but found them narrow and darkish (even after going through various amps and set-ups). Superb for music but opposite end of what I wanted for gaming. Bought the K712 after reading as much as I could of this thread and couldn't be more pleased. Prefer them for music and for gaming they are next level. Clean, brighter with a wide accurate sound stage. The memory foam on them is also alot nicer then the foam on the HD650s. They seal around the arms of my glasses far better and the headset disappears. Wish I'd made the jump sooner rather then looking at amp changing but got there in the end. Sold the 650s on the bay and they covered the cost of the new K712 so happy days for me Thanks Mad Lust!

Haven't tried them, but I would think that since it's not fully open-back construction, the soundstage is not as wide as with the AKG K701/K702/K712/K7xx/Q701, ATH-AD700X or HD598. Otherwise seems like great headphones for gaming, if the earbads are replaced with something better (e.g. ver.1 mod).
 
Since I have just ordered K702, I'm curious, how did your K701 break?

I think this was actually discussed a few weeks back, I would double back some pages.

Okay, I used the search function and didn't find anything in this thread, but I'm gonna look manually through the thread later.

Phillips Fidelio X2. I use it daily with the Vmoda Boom Pro mic for work, music, and gaming and does it all very well.

 

[TeeReQs]

Isn't the X2 open back?
