Has anyone tried using these with Xonar STX rather than the GSX 1000?

I’m a music lover and a PC gamer. I’ve tried ModMic setup before but I really hate dealing with the cable mess that comes with it.
PREFERENCES/BIASES
I like a relatively neutral sounding system that slightly leans to the warm side. My favourite pair of headphones is LCD-X for its amazing bass and energetic sound. On a lazy Sunday, I like to put on my Fitear TG334 to listen to some slow acoustic songs.
My usual listening gear is usually Onkyo DP X1 > Chord Hugo > Liquid Carbon > LCD-X.
SOUNDSTAGE AND IMAGING
To put it shortly, it’s decently wide but lacks depth. Imaging is very good for its price, but doesn’t really punch above its class.
OVERALL PRESENTATION (TL;DR)
Laid back sound with rich bass and intimate midrange. Very good soundstage and imaging for its price.
GAMING PERFORMANCE
In FPS games like CS:GO, the sound is really immersive thanks to its rich bass while still being accurate thanks to its very good midrange. In RPGs like Skyrim, the dialogue is very clear thanks to (once again) its midrange. For Dota 2, well, it’s hard to sound bad in Dota 2.
[+] Rich, controlled, and tight bass for immersive sound
[+] Detailed and intimate midrange for competitive advantage in games
[+] Great microphone
[+] Great value for money
[-] The “Sennheiser Veil” is present. Too much upper bass and does not extend very low at the sub-bass region.
[-] The treble is too relaxed
It still think it's an excellent value of money. Admittedly I haven't tried any other gaming headphones in the past year including the Audeze Mobius, so I do not know if there are better performing competitors out there.G'day Callizer.
Looks like we have similar tastes, LCD-X is on my "up there" list too.
PC37X's are available again, early April 2019. As I'm in Sydney, can't really audition them, but at that price...
How are they holding up for you, over a year later?
Cheers.

If you want a headset, go for it. If you want a good value headphone (without mic), I'd say go for something like HD6XX instead.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Yeah, I already have the Cooler Master MH752 - w very handy usb dac/mic/mute quasi 7.1, the last being quite nice on movies and well recorded TV shows, like ST Discovery. (Thanks Zeos).
PC37X was as a "backup" for when my 12 year old is at my place, playing Fortnite Duo's - side by side in the 'gaming' room.
We play rarely, (2 to 4 hours over the whole weekend) but competitively, and call out situational awareness updates to each other every 5 to 10 seconds, so the open back would make hearing my son's plays easy.
But.
Given the PC37X's total price to Sydney is currently north of AUD $200, and a new Mobius is around AUD $500, (and has come a looong way with firmware updates), I think the Mobius's planar goodness wins this round.
Wonder if we'll be able to "dial in" our own soundstage and eq at some stage? That would make the Mobius a genuinely scary product. (for the industry).
Anything compatible with the HD 598, 599, or Game One will also be good pads to use on the PC37X.good day! what pads can I use in replacing the ones on the pc37x?

How are things in the Philippines? I’ve never been there!
NoHi, is the headband of the PC37X removable and reattachable?
