Yeah, the X2 is a headphone for people that want only ONE headphone for all purposes. It fits that description, all too well.

But yeah, if you have other headphones excelling in other areas, the X2 isn't going to beat them.

The X2 is an all rounder through and through. Adept in all manner of things, but master of none.

Also, apparently, the X7 is available for Preorder on creative's website now, release date Dec 15th.

That's my birthday!

TELL CREATIVE I WILL REVIEW IT FOR THEM AS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA

 

[Evshrug]

Well...
I was seriously hoping to review it myself, I have video reviews of all the other processors I've owned done and you were more the headphone (plus mixamp, damn you for making that a Kleenex or Clorox or PingPong-type brand ) guy, BUT Creative hasn't replied to me in over a week, so maybe you'll have more luck with your "Contributor" status and Google search results popularity... I do think it merits it's own review separate from this headphone thread (but you can link to it!). Good Luck getting a sample unit... I want one to keep anyway.

Hopefully final question from me.

I'm torn between the X2s and the Q701. Use would be gaming 80% and music/movies 20%.

I currently own a mixamp pro but do not own any other kind of headphone amp. I need a mic and like the easy of the boompro.

However all that aside the overall sound is my no1 driving factor and would buy amp/mod mic if necessary.

So I guess if you could only chose one of the two which one would it be? Also looking at my needs could you help guide my choice?

Price in the UK is only a few £ different so not a major factor.

Thanks

Being a total dumbass I forgot I bought a Ray Samuels The Hornet a few years ago so I assume I could add this into the mix. I haven't used it for ages since changing my ipod and moving. Still got the old ipod connectors.

Edited for spelling.

I wonder just how much the X2 differs from X1.
There is less bass but is there actually less treble and more midrange?
Is the soundstage a bit smaller as some say?

MLE, you're a bad influence! :rolleyes:

Plug it in like the diagram in the guide.
 
PS4 > Optical > Mixamp > Y cable to split mic+ headphones
 
then
 
headphone port > amp > headphone
mic port > modmic
 
If you're doing this and it's not working, you might have the wrong Y cable.  It should have 3 black stripes on the male side.

then this headset that works on my DSS2 ?

 

[geogga]

Philips Fidelio X2 vs HD650 vs H600?

I'll make a video to show you guys how to set up an X7... Once it arrives mid-December.

Yup, that's the one I got too.  Amazon says I bought it on March 7th.

I've purchased that same Y cable twice now. Great little guy.
