Headphoneus Supremus
Hey all,
i just grabbed a HD700 last week for $325 shipped. I'm eagerly awaiting them to see how they sound. One of my big questions is whether it will be good for gaming right out of a Mixamp/Recon. I'll find out soon enough, but curious if anyone else here uses them for console gaming.
I've read a lot of love/hate for these headphones. Often when I'm reading reviews, it's from people who paid $750-1000 for them (depending on when it was reviewed). I wonder how they will sound for $325.
Anyhow, subbing here. I'll be talking to you more next week when they come in!
EDIT - Oh and to @Asr you've got a lot of misconceptions about gaming headphones. You might want to read the intro to Mad Lust Envy's guide, which lays out some of the benefits of audiophile headphones for gaming. While I do think the HD700 is probably overkill and a half, I don't think it's as absurd to ask as you do. :-D
Where did you pop these for $325.....if I may ask.
