Did I miss something? When I just ordered it one day shipping was over $20. I did standard and it was like $11.

 
He's probably a Prime user and you aren't.

Makes sense.

I am indeed a Prime user, call me 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13... and so on ;D

Half Life 3 confirmed!

Bahaha if only.. not sure how I missed that joke though when I wrote my comment

So for confirmation, there still is no way to get a Boom Pro mic + SB X7 working with PS4, right?

Of course there is a way. Two.

Both involve a y-split adapter at the end of the BoomPro, one end goes to the X7, the other goes to your mic input (PS4 controller or USB dongle plugged into PS4). The only difference to a Mixamp setup really is that there isn't a mic passthrough on the X7... so you simply manually bypass the "mic in" straight to the console.

By USB dongle do you mean a USB to 3.5mm adapter? So one like this?

Many people buy this including myself

  X7 on Amazon for $279.99!!!

Mother f! I just bought a Schiit Magni Uber 2 for $170 and about a month ago bought a new Mixamp 2014 for $100. That's the X7 right there.
 
Now the idea of picking up the X7 and selling and/or returning my gear has begun to percolate.
 
What do you guys think? Keep my Mixamp 2014 + Uber 2 setup or get the X7? This will be for the Xbox One and eventually the PS4.

I have this and works too in PS4, i bought for coming X7.

Aren't you having issues with the Mixamp anyways?

The first day I used it with the Uber 2 there was very noticeable crackle, pop noise during chat. I think I had the Mixamp at ~83% volume. Yesterday it was barely perceptible, at some times I couldn't hear it. I had lowered the Mixamp volume to ~75%. I also disconnected and reconnected all the cables. Not sure if lowering the Mixamp was the reason. I played both Destiny and FIFA while in party chat. I will test it again today. 
 
The only way I would get the X7 is if it was a better setup than the Mixamp + Uber 2, assuming no issues with the latter.

You might be the only person on here who's heard the Mixamp+Magni Uber 2 combo so I'm not sure we'd be able to tell you which is better.  But the X7 should have a better DAC with a roughly equivalent amp.  Plus all the connectivity.  Plus SBX over DH.  
 
If you value SBX over DH and if you could use any of that additional connectivity, I'd say it's a good value proposition on paper.

I've never heard SBX with headphones so I don't know which I'd prefer. 
 
Would listening to this video (though my Sony VAIO laptop w/ Uber 2 and K7XX) give me a good idea if I'd like SBX or not?

Yes, that's one of my favorites.
