Get an external dac/amp like the g5 or e5
ok, whats the difference with the G6?Get an external dac/amp like the g5 or e5
Has anyone had any experience with the ATH-ADG1X my friend found them used and was debating on picking them up.
thanks
Had them and thought in general they were great. Loved the sound of them for gaming. Negatives were minor tbh but collectively annoyed me - mic couldn’t be moved completely out of peripheral vision when not needed, build felt very flimsy to me and the main one was the awful attached cable (had a complete mind of its own).
With the vast knowledge in this thread, have we agreed on the best headphones you can possibly buy for PC gaming when money isn't a factor? I'm talking about normal (production) headphones you can buy every day and not one-off limited edition $10k BS headphones that come out from time to time. I also don't need a mic.
I'm assuming it's the Sennheiser HD 800/800S from my current research.
My biggest question/concern is this though: We all know PC video games probably don't use the highest fidelity sound files, I'm wondering if there virtually would be no difference between like a $750 Sennheiser HD700 and a $1700 HD 800S. Has anyone found any scientific data or graphs to see where the line is drawn or is it just opinions?
I'm looking to get the best sound setup possible in the future if budget isn't an issue but I'm not dumb enough to assume more expensive = better for specific scenarios such as PC gaming. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: FYI I have a Creative Sound Blaster AE-5 PCIE internal sound card but willing to go external DAC if needed
I need an external DAC/amp strictly for PC use, and even after reading @MLE's reviews and this entire thread I'm not sure if I should be going with the G6 or the GSX-1000/1200. Pricing up here in Canada is close between the two ($200 for the G6, but the GSX-1200 is $257 on Amazon right now). I currently have Shure SRH-840s and an old pair of Senn HD-555s, though I might pick up the HD 58X. I know the G6 will do a better job of driving the 58X, even without external gear, but the software seems flakey and some users report clicking. General consensus seems to be that the GSX-1000/1200 has slightly better surround and "just works". I dual boot a PC/Hackintosh, and while my X-fi Forte still works well on the PC side I can't get it working in macOS.
Any opinions from current G6 or GSX-1000/1200 owners? Thanks in advance.
G6 has Dolby Digital support. If you also play on consoles then the g6 makes sense to get over the g5/e5. Otherwise if you only play on pc get either the g5, e5, or gsx.ok, whats the difference with the G6?

1) Smyth Research Realizer A16. Should launch in the next 6 months
I heard something similar in 2017"Should"
hi,Hey thanks everyone for the help I am still debating between the game ones, pc37x and now the HD 598 with mod mic. I will be getting the gsx 1200 (cheaper then 1000 on amazon canada) or the G6 (maybe G5 since the G6 doesnt seem to be available in canada yet). My only debate is I am hearing the hd598 sr are basically the game ones as far as sound is concerned. Is the mod mic + HD 598sr that much better then the game ones. Same idea goes for the pc37x the are the same drivers as the hd598 and 600. So will this be better then the HD598 and game ones. Also is having the modmic separate that much better then mic on a headset.
Thanks in advance
hi,
i have the pc360 (err think that was it, the ones that became the game one's) and the hd599 which you didn't mention, but they do sound different when you a/b them but both have the same house sound, they sound very nice, when i read reviews about the hd600 and hd650 and they say they just sound right, i cry as i find them too warm and muffled, the hd599 and its range to me sound natural, they sound the most natural to me.
i took out all the **** in the pc360s behind the drives and also took the volume wheel out of line and they sound more open than the hd599. both are really nice sounding, i find the pc360 better for gaming but i think many may say the hd599 are more mature sounding?
having said this i like k701 q701 ad700 t70's ad2000 and hd800's so i kinda prefer cold detailed sounds.
