Change is Good

Not going to lie. X7 with the USB dongle for $300 is tempting, enough to maybe put my stubbornness aside. Bad timing for me, though.
I did look at the X2 but they cost £80 more and based on the review here the K702 are better for competitive FPS, which is my main use.
I just looked at the Astro forums and people seem to be having issues with the TR version, apparently the sound is muffled and low when Dolby is on. I have found a new 2013 MixAmp for sale at half the price of the TR, but doesn't come with any cables. Also I just seen the Blasterx G5 that was mentioned above.
Currently my options:
BlasterX G5 (£130) - Know nothing about it
Astro TR (£110) - May have issues as reported on the Astro forum
Astro 2015 (£100) - Known to hiss
Astro 2013 (£60) - More recommended here. Comes with no cables though, so I will have to source those myself.
I dunno where you heard the 2013 was recommended. That one is very hissy. It's the 2011 that is recommended. The one without the EQ preset button.
Please amend that statement, because no one that I know of has 'recommended' the 2013 Mixamp. Don't want people searching for devices based on false claims.
