Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions
Yeah, I also get the intermittent pops with PS4, super annoying. The only "fix" I have found is just shutting off the power and restarting everything. I'll see if muting the recording option does anything, I feel like I've tried that though. Thanks for the tip rollie, even if it doesn't work. :)- ElectronicTonic

It's definitely not the mics, I've tested them on multiple devices. Thanks for the suggestions though.- ElectronicTonic

Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions
Does anyone else have issues with the mic input on X7 having a high noise floor, hiss? Is there anyway around this, besides the noise reduction feature? It makes my voice sound like I'm in a cardboard box, but it does eliminate the noise issues.- ElectronicTonic

I'm also having issues getting a good EQ using the Fiio player. I can get much better results with the Onkyo player. I hope they tweek their EQ a bit.- ElectronicTonic

I can test with some sensitive IEMs later tonight. I use Sennheiser PC360 and HD 700 and haven't noticed a hiss.- ElectronicTonic

I already posted this in the HD700 thread, but this might be a better place. Does anyone happen to have a Modmic 5/4 combo with the HD700? If so, have you had any issues with the magnet so close to the drivers? Looks like there's only one place to stick the magnet piece, the only flat piece on...- ElectronicTonic

Does anyone happen to have a Modmic 5/4 combo with the HD700? If so, have you had any issues with the magnet so close to the drivers? Looks like there's only one place to stick the magnet piece, the only flat piece on the ear cup. I probably should have asked these questions before I purchased...- ElectronicTonic

All this talk about mics.....just ordered a modmic 5, to pair with an HD 700. I ordered both today, so looking forward to trying them out. I also record music and have quite a few mics, including a Shure SM7b. I might do a comparison recording, just for fun.....if anyone is interested.- ElectronicTonic

Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread
Just ordered a pair of these, looking forward to trying them out. I'll mostly be using them for gaming, and not too concerned about their sound signature, since I can EQ most of my sources.- ElectronicTonic

No problem. As stated above, it isn't as easy adjusting the chat and game mix on the X7 as on a mixamp, but I'll take better audio over convenience any day.- ElectronicTonic

The PS4 sees the BT-W2 as a USB headset and you pair it with the x7 via Bluetooth. You can then adjust chat and game volume via an app on android or iOS. I just picked up the X7 myself to replace an older Astro mixamp. I'm really liking the improved audio experience, so far.- ElectronicTonic

Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions
I finally ordered an X7, wish I would done it a couple months ago, when they were cheaper. It will be replacing my trusty old Astro wireless 5.8 mixamp. I also ordered the BT-W2, to use chat with my PS4. Excited to play with some new gear. Now I just need to upgrade my old Sennheiser PC360...- ElectronicTonic

In the market for some IEM’s, live music and recording
Thanks for the reply, That's what I've been reading, but my only concern with them, is comfort. I will be playing some live shows that could be 2+hrs, and won't be able to adjust placement. Also, I will be moving quite a bit, so cord noise is also a concern.- ElectronicTonic
