The install time is killing me. Only 5% during the last 15 minutes. Get your schiit together Visceral.


Visceral is the name of your internet provider? :p

Hey guys, my Urbanite On Ear review is up on guru. Not really worth mentioning for games, so I may not add it to the guide. In fact, I won't since I didn't write up a gaming section when I had the headphones, and I don't wanna make stuff up. Since my guide is gaming oriented, I'll just say that I highly enjoyed the Urbanite (really liked their sound, a LOT), but it wouldn't be my first, second, or 10th choice for gaming due to very intimate/up front/non-spacious sound.

HD558 is on sale for $90 on amazon right now!

I'm considering getting one just to experience one of the better-reviewed gaming cans in the guide.

Oooooor you could buy MLE's Ultrasone. :wink:
 
It's cheaper!

 
But the 558/598 is reviewed much better for competitive gaming.  :p

I saw this earlier, great price... It's been hovering around 140 the last month.

 
According to CCC, it's never been lower than $100.

Although I've already had the 558s, it's very tempting. I'd really like to hear the 598s though.

Anyone had both already? Is there really that much difference?

 
I've read that there's a mod to turn the 558 into the 598 and vice versa.

  So, the X7 LE is really going to be MUCH better for us Headphone gamers, than the regular X7?

 
I don't think we have enough information to determine how good it's going to be yet.
