So I picked these up the other day. They are new but was in a display at a store. Cables and accessory’s was still sealed with full warranty. Got them for 1000 Canadian. I’ve never spent this kind of money on headphones before. For gaming I’ve had the Astro a50 Gen 4 and Epos h6pro open. For music I have a pair of shp9500 that I never use. I mostly just use my AirPod pro 2 for music at the gym-work.

So fair I like the gx for both music and gaming and that’s what I was hoping for. I listened to Pearl jam ten album for the 1000s time and it never sounded so good. They are very neutral to my ears, highs are not piercing and lows are not overbearing and muddy. I have no issues with comfort but I bet my ears will get warm in the summer.

Now as far as powering them it’s just from my iPhone or Xbox-ps5 controller - gaming laptop headphone jack. For music would I get better sound using my denon 4700h headphone jack and airplay from my iPhone? I tried this and it did not sound as clean but it felt much warmer. I was using the pure direct mode on the amp at the time. Also should I use the better quality cables with no mic for music? Any info would be great!
