Suggestions?

Don't you think that it might be too good at imaging that you started thinking that it's defective? Any way don't relay on my idea because my experience is so limited, I'm newbie when it comes to audio and headphones.

Sometimes it's hard to trust your own judgment in things like these, at least that's how I would feel.

Here, Amatak, lemme help you out. There's a neat, little program called SineGen that allows you to play any frequency of sound that you want. You can even sweep through them as well. I used it to find imbalances in my X2.

 Did you find any in your pair? is it a Gibson Or Woox?

I've got a Woox pair that was purchased around August last year. Using Sinegen, I found that the right channel is favored at around 5500hz +/- 100hz. The left channel is significantly quieter at those frequencies. I ran the same test on my Q701, and the imbalance wasn't there. I also tried different sources and wore the X2 backward to make sure I'm not going deaf.

Looks like then this is just the normal sound of the X2. I'm a little bit worried since I'm thinking of buying a pair and I want to use it in gaming and a precise imaging is really important (would also like to listen to balanced music) 

 

 

[CaveManta]

Don't worry about it, my friend. My X2 has fantastic imaging regardless of the little imbalance. I game with it all the time(Black Ops 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5), and it never lets me down. Directionality and depth are fantastic(X2 has even more depth than the AD700!)

What about in music? does this imbalance affect the enjoyment of listening to music? does it sound unnatural? 

 

[CaveManta]

Oh, not at all. Everything sounds natural to me, even coming from my other cans. I can tell where every instrument and singer is. It's easy to tell if sounds are ever so slightly off-center in the song itself.
The tonality of the mids is more natural than on the Q701, I'd say. And I love the Q701! But the Q701 has a peak at 4khz that makes vocals sound shouty or "plasticy."
I recommend the X2 all the way! Attach a Vmoda Boompro microphone to it!

That's what I'm planning to do, thanks for calming me down and making me feel more confident in my future purchase

Just CALM DOWN! No reason to panic! AAHH! Oh, wait, you already did. Good. No problem.
If you can get an X2 for $200USD or so, even if it's a Gibson, it will be a fantastic deal.
 
Do you have a standalone DAC or amplifier yet?

Do you think I can get a new Woox pair?! 
 
No unfortunately not, I thought that I don't need one for the X2, don't I?

 

[CaveManta]

Getting a new Woox pair might be tricky. Perhaps you could find a used one in good condition here on Head-Fi. I got mine from a fellow Head-Fier.
I believe that Gibson might be getting better at making X2s. Hopefully the issues will all be fixed soon^^.
 
The X2 doesn't require a lot of power, but standalone DACs and amps can still improve sound quality. It doesn't make a huge difference with these cans, but it just helps(mostly with music.) To be honest, I don't mind plugging my X2 into a PS4 controller when I game.

One of the main reasons I chose the X2 actually is the low impedance, HOPEFULLY this will allow me to get a decent sound out of my iphone 6 Plus when I'm on the go. I was gonna go with the the AKG 7120 Pro but that one I "think" won't sound as good as the X2 when plugged to an iphone.
