Does that mean the K702 pads are deeper than both? I had both the K612 and K702 pads with me and found the K702 substantially deeper and more comfortable.

The Q701 (same pads) are angled, I didn't use any measuring instruments but basically the K712 pad height = the top part of the angled pads.

Desktop, as my setup is in one room. The only situation I would need portability is if/when I took my laptop into another room and wanted to listen to music. 

I'm having a hard time thinking of a desktop amp under $100, only a FiiO E9 comes to mind.

I wonder if anyone has done an E11K vs E09K comparison? Reviews rave about the E11K's performance, it's a portable FYI.

Schiit Magni comes to mind as well.

  Yeah the headset just has 2 x 3.5mm jack as you can see in the video posted by Martin just above your own post. And then you can choose to attach the USB surround dongle, but that won't work on PS4 I guess? For PS4 just attach it to the Mixamp and then the Mixamp with optical and usb to PS4? 
 
Soundwise, what do you guys think of the PC 363D, is it a worth buy? The guy on the video calls it an upgraded version of the PC 360 and MLE was positive in his review of the PC 360. 

Right I will explain to you what the pc363d are..they are the pc360's with a dongle/headphone amp that plugs into your pcs usb port and gives the headphones dolby headphone..the pc360's haven't got any surround sound just stereo..if you can get the pc360s cheap get them, if not get the newer G4ME ZERO headset..or if you are not bothered about playing bf4 multiplayer and having a mic to talk to friends do what I did and get the AKG545 and plug them straight into your ps4 controller!

  Yeah, Martin likes posting videos, but I'm at work so I can't watch them.  
 
But yeah, can't use the USB bit on the console.  Save $50 and get the G4ME One (which is also an upgraded version of the PC360) IMO.  You're paying more for the dongle that you'll never use.

Okay, the PC 363D is a headset that I can get new for 139 euros, while the G4ME One is 209 euros here. Is it worth the price difference/is it an improvement soundwise?

The problem is that the PC360's are 159 euros and I can get the PC 363D new for 139 euros. G4ME Zero is even more expensive with 220 euros and they both are not an improvement over the PC 363D, correct?

Oh interesting.  The 363D is $50 more than the G4ME One here.  It seems like the 363D is the cheapest of the three and you don't need to use the USB dongle, so it seems to be the obvious choice.

I call BS on that email. Probably some rep who doesnt know schiit. The main page states the 7XX uses the Annie as a base. Unless the Annie uses the K712 drivers (it was argued heavily that it doesnt), I dont see how the 7XX all the sudden got 712 drivers.

Just to make it easy, the PC363D seems to be the PC360, i dont know why they changed the name to PC363 other than separating both headphones for "different" purposes. PC363 comes with the USB dongle that gives you 7.1 surround sound. Now lets say you dont use the USB dongle. PC363, PC360 and G4ME ONE are the same headset. Nothing has changed other than the color of its headset. Id say you get the cheapest one that is available to you. Im not sure though if the PC360 has velour pads but i do know the pc363d does have them, and so does the G4ME ONE.

Just when I thought I was free from the Head-Fi bug at last, I caught wind of the AKG K7XX yesterday.
 
$200 shipped after having auditioned both the K612 and K712, both of which I found comfortable and pleasing, and it has the detachable cable of the higher-end AKGs? I cannot say no to that, and my wallet hates me for it.
 
Granted, if it's anything like my ModMic 4.0, it'll take MONTHS to arrive, but when it does, I might just have to retire the MA900...

It should arrive for most US backers before Dec 25th. So it should be a month or less.

HE LIVES!

So initial reaction to the X2... Hmm, no longer need to adjust the headband, though it's a bit clampy.

Soundwise, sounds... a bit weird to me at first. Can't put my finger on it. I'll give it some time, as it's been awhile since I've heard an open headphone that wasn't dark.

Well at least resale value went up on the MA900. Did you hear what I got myself into recently?

Tried to get this out the gate quickly.


I don't think the X2 will be taking the reigns away from headphones like the 650, DT880, and K712.

It's good sounding, REALLY good, but it isn't perfect. The tuning is great, but technicalities don't quite match the popular mid-fi cans, FWIH. It's mid-fi, but slightly below the classics. For one, the graininess in the treble isn't hard to hear.

I think these will be very popular though. Bass is good, sound is dynamic, clear, and spacious. Once these hit the $250 range, it's gonna be a treat for many.

These are definitely gonna be a strong contender for gamers. Definitely better than the X1, and the bass isn't as loose but still very present.

These are just very initial impressions, but if the K7XX = Annie, I'd say those are better, for sure. But the X2 + Boompro + not hard to drive = more versatile, and I'd make the same choice again.

 

[rudyae86]

looks like this has made me want to purchase the X2 even more!
 
But I will wait when it drops below the 250. I already got my BoomPro mic yesterday, and it looks small lol but does the job well. Using it right now with the Phillips SPH9500.
 
Hmmm that AKG K7XX, cant it come to my house any sooner? lol

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I'm really enjoying the X2. It sounds great. They have a definite winner.
