I used to have a SB Recon 3D and like the GSX a lot better. I find it to perform really well for gaming audio without any hassle or configuration.

What headphones are you using with GSX1000? Also do I understand correctly - I can plug GSX1000 into O2 (3.5mm out -> 3.5mm in) and still have all the surround stuff?

I tired the 598CS, 599 and 700 so far, straight out of the GSX.
Yes, if you connect the O2 to the phones out ont the GSX, not the speakers out.
I tried that with a 3.5mm to RCA cable to my HDVA 600, the surround sound remains, just more power.

Great thank you

I'm partial to Senn but I never heard the AT allthough I owned a lot of woodies way back that I really loved.
I do like the Senn 598 variants of which I had 2. (there seem to be 3 or 4)

Ok, Thanks. Has anyone tried both of them ?

Got the GSP 600 in finally!

Well it will be awhile for vids because the first pair I have for review is the MMX300 which is for headphone.guru first not for headfi.

edit: Nvm, fixed.

Looks like my X7 is crapping out today. Other than usb, the other sources have a considerable channel imbalance. I may need to get something for consoles, as the left side sounds ok, but the right side sounds like it's coming from near the center.

Just my luck.

Ouch... It's not still under warranty, is it? I've found Creative to be really good with their warranty stuff.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Disregard. I dunno how or WHY, but the X7 decided to have the right channel at 50% while the left channel was at 100%.

I have never ever encountered this problem, and I have obviously never manually lowered one channel for ANY reason.

Anyways, problem solved. Had to turn on my PC to manually go to channel volumes and raise them to 100%. SMFH.

Happy 8 year anniversary! Lol. I don't know you or anything, but I like your guide and saw that you joined March 20th, 2010.

Oh wow, it IS my 8th birthday on Headfi. Hahaha.

Thanks.

Hi, already posted this but I really need an answer.
I'm having trouble choosing between Audio Technica 700x and Sennheiser 598 sr. Which one do you think I should buy ?
I'm gonna use it for gaming on a pc and an xbox one too.

I think the 598s are a better all around headphone. AD700x can sound a little tinny, but the positional accuracy is great. I have both 598's and AD700x, and use the 598s as my daily driver. They're more comfortable and fit my head a whole lot better than the Audio Technica.

Thanks, I'm not looking for a daily driver headphone, I'm just planning on gaming with them, so which one do you think is better for gaming.

Well, the 598's are my go to for gaming too. IMO, they are more comfortable, have great positional accuracy and can easily have a mic added to it. I use this with mine:

If you have a larger head, only concerned with positional cues, and don't mind a severe lack of bass, the AD700x might be a better choice. I also own K7XX, and prefer the 598s, mostly due to comfort.
