There are so many easier ways to troll you than going into the database and manually changing your signup date.

Hello there
First time posting here. I wanted to ask about the GSP 600 as I noticed several users in here that own this pair.
I am mainly interested in their soundstage / positional sound for multiplayer gaming like BF1, COD, etc and I wanted to ask how do they fare given that they are closed compared to a similarly priced open cans like the Sennheiser HD 598 SR ?
I am looking to run them with the onboard dac /amp that comes with my motherboard (Aorus z370 gaming 7) which i would expect to be at least above average.
Also any other thoughts like - comfort, etc and whether its worth waiting for the gsp 500 for the "better" soundstage? I dont have a need for closed back headphones so i will be fine with either as long as i get the best positional sound

Thank you

Do we know what drivers the GSP series is based on? Are they a new design or based on an existing series? I'm looking at the gsp500 and wondered how the would compare with the 598/ 599

FWIW here's an early review of the GSP 500 vs 600 although not sure the reviewer truly understands the open back concept lol.


That guy clearly has no idea hwat he's doing or talking about.
But at least he tried the item he "reviews" which can't be said from the PC Mag reviewers.

Does anyone know if i can send 7.1 or 5.1 Dolby Digital audio to a mixer input and still have it the same on the output? Like, will the mixer preserve the sound?
No.

On the GSP 600, we know that Sennheiser tells these are new drivers. As I do not own the requested HD5.. cans I cannot comment a comparison. They are decent for gaming even in stereo mode all virtualisation disabled. They have angled drivers and are easy to drive. Very good also for music, though not quite on HD650/660S level. They are a bit brighter for the fine derails needed to hear your enemies.

Unsure what you mean here. The Creative X7 has options to allow untouched passthroughs, as well as options that will allow SBX surround to be sent into the RCA output. Other than that not sure what you're asking.

I wish i could go to the X7, don't remember who reccomended it to me but it's way out of my budget, i'm starting to realise that i really won't be able to combine multiple sources with at least one of them being 5.1/7.1 and will have to do separate.

Anyone help please( my question few posts upper)
I'm almost 100% certain you asked me about the AX720 and I had already told you the answer. I told you that the puck where the volume control is splits and reveals a microphone and headphone jack so you can use any headphone with it. It will work with the X2.
