About to purchase the Anandas. Buy or wait a little while more?

Jeff Grubb tested the SBX G5/G6 on the XSX, doesn't seem to work:

Looked all over for something like this. Thanks for this.

I recently bought some ad700x which I upgraded from hd558.

After getting the ad700x I realized how bad the fit was for me I had to bend the top to get them to not slide off my ears.

What would be the second best for competitive fps that has some more comfort.

The akg k70, akg q701, and I was recommended the k712 else where too.

What would be recommended for a $300-350 budget

Thanks

For FPS gaming, how do the AD700X compare to the HD558?

My hd558 are like 6 years old I think so I dont know if they lose any performance over time. Never had a problem in the past they always seemed good until lately I was having a hard time telling where sounds were coming from.

But the ad700x seem a bit better for pinpointing sound but they fit so loose the comfort is half as good in my opinion.

Ive only tried the ad700x in warzone thats as far as my experince goes with them.

Haven't visited this thread for a while. Looking forward to your review of the Senn hd 560s, Mad Lust Envy. I'm interested in whether it is an upgrade for gaming and movies from my x2hr.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I currently have no expectations or plans to acquire the 560s unless Sennheiser wants to send them to me.

The past so many Sennheiser headphones sent to me were through Drop and their variants.

Perhaps @Sennheiser would like to send me a pair for review.

FTFY

I like the way you think

 

[suspects]

Have you heard the 58x? How good are they for gaming? (And also some music). I've heard they are comparable to the 6xx but when I hear people comparing them specifically for gaming I've heard the 58x are much better.

 

[idsyphe]

If you're looking into either the 58x or 6xx, I'd suggest you research the new Sennheiser 560S, as it seems like it would be a better headphone for gaming than both of those.

Maybe, I just don’t currently think their are enough opinions out there yet. DMS likes them but i’m always a bit skeptical of his ear although i think he’s gotten better. Josh valour seems to think they are good but from what i’ve seen prefers the 58x. I’d love MadLustEnvy to be able to review them though as he focuses on gaming.

Fair enough, I'm considering them as a up/sidegrade from my K7XX, which although have been amazing for me the last few years, I've got that little itch to try something new. I'm just on the fence as to whether the comfort will match the AKG's, as I love the soft velour pads, and much preferred these compared to the HD579 which I've owned in the past

I haven't heard the 58X.

Really it all depends on the type of flavor you want. Yeah the 560 might be better for gaming due to more clinical and airier sound, but if that isn't your preferred sound signature, it's not going to beat something you WOULD LIKE.

I have no problem gaming with the 6XX. Yes, if you want to focus on just competitive GAMING, there are better options, but it's not like you can't game with things you like.

Virtual surround makes any good headphone worth it for gaming, so don't stress out of its not an OMG 10/10 KILLER.

I play mostly with the 6XX and LCD1 (which atm has a lapel mic attached to the wire), neither which I rated anywhere near the top for GAMING performance. I enjoy the sound off both and can play things like Warzone just fine with them.
