I just got the mediabridge cable in the end, that blueflame one is ridiculously overpriced and the one from china could be an option later if not having a braided cable seriously bugs me. Thanks for the amazing review and the help! Can't wait to get my first ever headphones (ever, never even bought crappy logitech ones or anything)!
Just hope the ModMic works well with my Xonar STX, as it's the only reason I pulled the trigger on the X1's as I game a lot and needed a good microphone with m headphones. Been looking for years at getting audiophile headphones (mostly mid-range) because I refused to get any gaming headset as I found they just made things worse sounding but what was holding me back was a good microphone. So excited!
I'll let you know what I think of em!
