Let me know how you like them.
So here are my thoughts:
First out of the box impressions
I took them out of the box, plugged them into the "line out" jack on the back of my motherboard and put them on my head, I am finding them slightly more comfortable than my hyperx alphas (my hyperx alphas have sheepskin leather memory foam ear pad replacements because i found the stock really uncomfortable despite what people always said in the reviews) so on that note, I would not change the stock ear pads on the x2hr because im finding them really comfortable so far.
Thoughts on the build quality
As for the build quality, I'd actually lean towars saying that the hyperx feel like they're built better, but that doesn't matter to me because as long as the headset doesn't instantly break when i accidently drop it from my desk it's built well enough.
First sound test
So then I went into windows sound settings and in the properties i changed the quality from default to 32 bit, 192000Hz which was the maximum available and opened up spotify to try out some songs, now this wasn't a "wow" or at least isn't YET, I do prefer how these sound over the alphas in music but it's not a huge jump that I expected. Anyways, then I booted up CS:GO and seriously, there I could definitely tell that Im able to pinpoint where the footsteps are coming from better than on the alphas.
Experiencing open-back
Another thing I noticed while playing is that I can hear myself pressing the keys on my keyboard a lot clearer (as well as every other sound in my room ofcourse) which isn't ideal but honestly I don't mind it because it doesn't get in the way of the in-game sound, and my keyboard does not have loud switches (Im using cherry mx speed low profile switches) Im really thankful I didn't get convinced to buy one of those clicky loud Cherry blue switches keyboards.
That's all I have to say so far, I like them and I will use them. I do have some questions though.
Was me setting the format to 32 bit 192000Hz a silly thing to do?
If yes what setting should I use?
Is there anything else I should do to increase the sound quality?
In games audio output configuration, should I use the surround sound settings (cs go has 5.1 surround sound and quad surround sound) or should I just stick to what I walways used which is Stereo?
