HD595 taught me the expensive way to look for other things in design than fashionable look:But honestly, all this gaming stuff is made so beautifull and when I'm looking at it I really want to by it just because it looks unusuall and cool)
Great site, thanks, I looked for k712 on ebay and really there is one new for $270 left.
I live in Russia, our prices often are unreal for example, newbalance sneakers costs here $250+ while I bought in Germany with DHL delivery for $150
It's strange but I'm satisfied with bass on ad700, I don't like when bass booms in my ears and my head goes round of it I liked bass in Sony mdr-1a it was lite and nice) As I see in Creative's drivers for AE-5 there is separate regulator for bass so I can a little bit boost it
The reason why I asked about DT 990 is that it costs $130 used, k612 pro costs $120 used and both k702 and ad900x cost $160 used.....With this prices do k712 really worth spending extra $70-100 ?

HD595 taught me the expensive way to look for other things in design than fashionable look:
Last millennium design HD590 with "old boring" matt black plastic and standard two sided ear cup attaching survived decade without really any signs of use.
Shiny fashion plastics of HD595 started cracking in 2½ years precisely this way:

Ear's relative sensitivity to bass (and treble) increases with rising sound pressure.
So at higher volume weak bass headphones like AD700 might feel like having some bass.
It would be very easy to unknowingly increase volume according to perceived bass.
Anyway this site has graphs also for MDR-1, but not for DT990, though it would have very similar bass to K712:

MDR-1 has for closed can rather neutral bass, but closed design likely gives it more feel/"punch" than in open headphone.
Really weird to have that much higher price extra in one model unless all prices are elevated
DT990 Pro meant for studio use with coiled cable and some more head band clamping force is actually really cheap for quality even as new. (~130€)
Normal DT990 "Edition/Premium" with straight 3m long cable costs ~200€
K701/702 are in between. (702 more with detachable cable)
From purely competitive point there shouldn't be anything better than AD700, with its total lack of "distractions" from details.Which of theese headphones have better sound quality, soundstage and positioning then ad700s?
According to price, for example, I have ad700, I need headphones with better quality (soundstage, positioning etc). Will it be q701 \ dt990 \ dt880 \ k612 pro? How much better soundstage will k712 pro have against q701\dt990\dt880\k612?
So question would really about improving that fun factor/immersion and getting better balance between it and competitiveness.
K712 sure sounds good for that.
Just looks like can't do side by side comparison between it and DT990 until next week.
Incidentally also found used K702 for 100€ so might try to get those for neutral bass reference point considering "tape holding pieces" HD595s feel like they could "disintegrate" further if actually using them.
Literally every DACI just bought the Xbox One X and I like Dolby Atmos headphones, Tomb Raider sounds great. I’m using AD700x. What DAC would be good for better sound quality than the audio out of the controller.
Sorry if this has been asked before.
What is your guy's opinion on in-ear's vs. headphones for gaming?
I feel like an in-ear with a decent soundstage could be a more immersive experience? Never have really tried gaming with in-ears though.
Literally every DAC
No. Blame Microsoft fir that. They require usb audio devices to have a $35 authentication chip built in.I had a Creative G5 for PS4 use but this doesn't support Xbox Voice Chat - is there any DAC/AMP (other than Mixamp) that offers simple Xbox compatibility for chat also? I'm using the setup in the lounge so a mass of adapters/cables is not ideal?
