Hoping someone here can help me out.
I've made a post about this before, but still feel like I'm not getting the audio experience I should be getting.
I've currently got Sennheiser GSP 600's, paired with my Fiio E10K. The E10K definitely made a difference, however I still feel like I'm not hearing things I should. I do a lot of gaming, so hearing foot steps / explosions in the distance etc. is super important. On a number of occasions my friend (who uses Logitech G35's) has heard things that I haven't heard at all. I don't know for sure, but surely my setup should be the better of the two, allowing me to hear more then he would? Not sure...
Anyway, besides my audio experience, I am also having issues with the volume dial on my headset. If the volume dial is as a weird angle it'll only push audio out of one side. Little bit of fine tuning and it'll push audio out both cups. I've also had them for 4 (almost 5 years) now, so I'm happy to replace them (if viable). I've been looking around at various price ranges, and styles. The top of my head is super sensitive to the weight of headphones and how they sit. My current headset (GSP 600) are fine but they do tend to get uncomfortable after an hour or so, and eventually I have to adjust the position of the top band on my head.
They're two completely different types and price brackets. But I've been looking at either going cheaper and getting the Logitech PRO X or the Audio Technica ATH R70x headphones (this will be quite an investment as I'll have to get a mic as well). I am also unsure whether my E10K will be able to power the R70x's, if someone could clarify that would be great. The reason I like the R70X is the wing design (less pressure on the top of my head) and the weight (they're almost 200grams lighter than my GSP 600's).
Then just a side note, and my reason for looking at the Logitech headset. Granted he is sponsored by Logitech, Shroud uses these headphones and from what I can tell he doesn't struggle to tell where things are coming from (footsteps etc). So I'm assuming they're pretty decent, granted how he is able to tell where he has heard things and that he is hearing them.
So basically, is there even a reason to decide between the two headphones above, and should I just go with the R70x's? I'll obviously save quite a lot of money by going with the Logitech's, however will that price difference be worth the extra $$$?
Will be E10K be able to power the R70x's?
Not sure if its easy to diagnose via a simple forum post, but why would my mate be able to hear more then I do?
