Just get an AD700x if all you want is an FPS headphone. PC360 if you need a headset. No need to spend so much for an AKG K70x for those purposes.
Hi im looking at the X1's or 701/702's. Im a pc FPS Gamer with dedicated sound card. My dilema is I need to use a microphone as i play all online multiplayer fps bf4 dayz (clan etc). Should I just go for a headset incorporating microphone? Im more interestef in the competative rating at this stage. Help! Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been covered a million times. (Amazing reviews by the way)
What do you need the other (3rd) pair for? I'd rather save up and upgrade in a year (or earlier, depending on your budget) in to high end territories.
HD 800, K812, TH-900, HE-560.
I need that ATH-ADG1. I probably would still be using my AD700 for competitive gaming had I not destroyed them trying to get them to fit. My only concerns are going to be the same I have with my AD700 which are the wing design and no horizontal pivot point for the cups. I wonder if it's based on the AD700X or AD900X.
They have two models, an open and a closed. I'm curious about these as well, but they're not really available yet so I guess we'll see.
I'm curious about the pricing. People kept saying the AD700 is <$100, but I've never seen one at that price. If these headsets are in that price range, I suspec they'll do well.
Hey Mad Lust Envy and everyone else ... what are your thoughts on true 5.1/7.1 gaming headsets such as these :

I hear they are very good in competitive gaming, but the soundquality is garbage....what are your thoughts ?
Im pretty sure I fall into the small/regular size of ears and I know i have a smaller head than a lot of folks (wear size 7).
I dont live near any place where I can go and try these on so I have to try to figure out what i might like just from reviews and such. For me the most important feature would be to be able to hear distinction between the sounds and have crisp sounds. I think that something that allows me to listen to classical music I think would work well for me as for gaming I would like to hear everything as clear as possible over say, having a bass heavy headphone.
the issue i run into is that for every person who knows what they are talking about who likes a given headset, there is another person who is just as qualified who doesnt like it. This is an issue because Im new to the premium headphone market and I dont have a lot of experience trying various models out and being able to interpriute a lot of the reviews other than "ok he liked it and it was clear" "ok he didnt like it because this other headphone had clearer highs".
At the moment I am leaning towards the X1s, but im just not sure about the openness.
