I finally retrieved the Soundblaster Recon 3D extension cable from my friend I gave the soundblaster to.
 
The current audio setup looks like this:
 
X7 3.5mm jacks > Extension cable headphones end> short HD598 cable
X7 3.5mm jacks > Extension cable mic end > ModMic
X7 3.5mm jacks > Extension cable controller end > PS4 chat cable
 
I can now use the microphone plugged into the X7 with the PS4, as well as my PC and my phone, ergo this setup is perfect.

Hah. I hate frustrating games. Didn't care for stuff like Demon/Dark Souls. That's just rage quit inducing.

Yes, that is very true. It is a rage quitting, mother swearing, gut wrenching game. Trust me, however, when I say it just makes it that more rewarding.

Also, the fact that I can summon one of my friends to help me pass a boss or level is very helpful. This may just be my favorite game on new gen, thus far.

Guess I will get it eventually. Why is your 400i for sale?

Can't justify keeping when it barely ever gets any head time. While it's the better headphone, both sonically and technically, I always find myself grabbing the 1540 or K7XX, instead. Just a matter of sound preference, I guess.

The problem with the U7 is that Windows does not recognize it as 7.1 or 5.1 device but only as a Stereo device. So the U7 emulates the down sampled stereo signal from games as surround somehow. It is not totally bad, but a Xonar internal soundcard that is recognized as 7.1 from windows sounds much better regarding positioning. And the Xonar U5 seems to be a U5 without any Dolby codec.

Hi guys.
 
I'm at CanJam SoCal this weekend. Creative is running a special for this weekend on the X7 and the E1/3/5. Coupon code "SBX7CAN" for $100 off either the regular or special edition X7 and "CANJAM20" for 20% of the E-series. Codes are good for purchases on their website.
 
Thought I'd share in case anyone is interested.

Streaming some more Bloodborne on Twitch (click on link in signature) if anyone wants to watch me get tortured.

First, let me say hello and that I am impressed by the head-fi community, just wow

From time to time I read reviews here, but this time I need help in choosing headphones.
I am a gamer, competitive games mostly (like csgo, but love all games), so I want good positioning for sure, hearing footsteps etc.
On the other hand, I love music... but my priority is gaming.
 
Currently I have Asus Xonar DG with Plantronics Gamecom 367 (bought years ago).
My budget for the new headphones is ~160$
 
The basic question is, is it worth it for me to buy a new headphones? Will I notice a difference in sound quality?
 
I read a little and found such proposals:
Audio-Technica​
 ​
M50​
Audio-Technica​
 ​
AD700​
AKG K612 Pro​
Philips SHP9500
 
What do you think? Any suggestions?
 
PS If I made any mistakes, sorry, but english is not my native language :wink:
