I own the X2 and Q701 and the Q701 is better for gaming, especially competitive gaming. It's a really analytical headphone and its positioning is god-tier. Replace the headband or put something over it. The bass is weak but it's certainly present.
The X2 is great too for gaming and very, very easy to drive and is the most comfortable headphone I've ever used. I've not had the bleeding ink issue and I wear them for 8-10 hours a day for work, gaming, and movie watching. The bass is great and the soundstage is ridiculous as well. You can also use it with the V-Moda Boompro mic.
yah at first i thought x2 will be great since it easy to drive and i can use boompro. in my country its hard to find modmic on local store. if i buy from ebay there will be so much extra charge (tax, ship, etc).
is q701 hard to drive?
The X2 QC issues are overblown, in my opinion. I owned 3 pairs, and I thought they sounded identical. Furthermore, the Brainwavz velour pads are about $25/$30, and are even more comfortable. Edit: These were all post glue-gate, but I really never saw a problem with them and thought they sounded good.
The AKG K7XX sounds like a good match, and they do sell replacement pads, but they cost $70 last time I checked. Also, you'll need an adapter to get the K7XX's mini-XLR input to work.
what it mean "post glue-gate"? what about sound quality if you change to brainwavz pads?
i think i saw someone sell k7xx on my country, it will be great since i don't have to buy from international site like ebay or amazon.
i don't understand why i need adapter to make it work? is the cable xlr to xlr, so i must buy xlr to 3,5mm?
