Would like to, but you need an account at massdrop to do that

Just go directly to his website, skip Massdrop.

My bad. For Torian or anyone else who was interested in the "Out of Your Head" demo, here's a link to the same demo video on Vimeo:

Did you see their demo at CanJam Stillhart? Was it just the same demo video, or did they have more?

Any of you getting ESO on the PS4 in June? I know Axel has it for PC.

Considering buying the PS4 version but I hear it's cross-platform compatible and if so I'd rather play on PC.

I was wondering if it was cross-platform compatible or not. That would be awesome if so.

I don't think that we have to pay monthly for it now on ps4 , if we don't have to pay you can count me in for a copy, if we have t pay they can whistle out their ass!

MLE, I should have bought a pair of Superlux HD668Bs on Massdrop and had them sent to you.  I would really like for you to include them in your review.  Maybe next time they go on sale.

I decided to sell my Soundblaster X7, as I don't really need it anymore (I brought the NFB-28 home and I'm just going to use optical out from my soundcard for virtual SS.) If you want to work out a deal, the ad is here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/762585/creative-soundblaster-x7 .
 
I forgot to put on there that I did update it to the latest firmware, so everything is good there.
 
Also, you don't have to pay anything for ESO on any consoles. They've apparently added more **** in and made it closer to Morrowind than it use to be (but I haven't played it since that update...so who knows?) It's still not a true Elder Scrolls experience, but it's getting there apparently.

They got rid if the monthly subscription, hence why it's now called "Tamriel Unlimited." That's why I'm thinking about getting it, now.

Well the monthly subscription still exists as ESO Plus membership which gives you access to the DLC content without purchasing it separately, some monthly marketplace currency as well as 10% buffs to gold exp, crafting, etc.

Games that go F2P never offer full content for free, although this is pretty close, but really depends on what they plan on charging for the upcoming DLC content verses how long you plan on playing.

Looking for some help with a buying decision. I Currently have Phillips X2 headphones with a Ear Force DSS v1 (it cost like $15) for PS4 gaming. I'm  pretty happy with my set up but want to see how good all this audio stuff can get. 
 
I'm thinking about getting a Oppo HA-2 and a Mixamp pro. Or the Soundblaster X7. Any input on pros and cons of each setup and what type of improvement I might be able to expect would be much appreciated.

That's probably as good as its going to get on console until Creative makes the X7 more user friendly. Just stick with what you have. Going from DSS to mixamp pro is more of a 'sidegrade,' but adding a portable amp will have some sonic improvement.

The HA-2 is a DAC with an amp section used for their portable headphones and IEMs. It's not a good external amp if you're not using the DAC section. You'd be better off with the X7, as it has everything you could dream of and more. Or, if you don't want to spend 400, just get astro Mixamp with the Magni 2

Are you referring to the Turtle Beach DSS Ear Force?

 

[SlickNick]

Wow, such a thorough and excellent write-up. I have a few noobish questions for Mad Lust Envy, or anyone who wants to answer. I was on the fence about getting the Astro A50's for gaming on the Xbox One, along with watching tv and movies through the Xbox one. I now see that they're really not that great for their price and hype, but the Philips X2 Fidelio are the same price minus the mixamp and seem to excel in all-around performance.
 
If I were to purchase the X2's, am I correct that I would need to purchase a mixamp to get full surround sound performance from these headphones? If so, which mixamp would work best with the Xbox One? Thanks in advance and apologies for the nooby questions

I emailed Creative rep a while ago about the possibility of selling the extension cables from Recon 3D separately or bundling them with the X7 to add console chat compatibility. Here's their response:
 
"Dear Yethal (actually my real name here) (...)

We wish to highlight that the bundled accessories including the 3m audio extension cable for console of the Recon3D USB are not retail parts and we do not sell them separately.

We appreciate your input about the setup and the possibility of selling this part separately and we will help to feedback it to the relevant department for their reference.

Meanwhile, we are now checking with the relevant department the availability of stock and the cost of the extension cable.

We will get back to you as soon as we get an update on this request.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to get back to us. "
 
So, there's actually a possibility of Creative selling this stuff to people, which would bring more user-friendliness to the X7 itself and make it a more viable option.
