They look pretty cool

Compared to our base reference Audio Technica ATH M50s, we really enjoyed the soundstage on the 9H. Things sounded more open and the bass was more visible and didn't feel to overpowering where as in the M50s the bass was toned down.

I thought the M50 already had a "fun" sound signature with plenty of mid bass.

Its more treble high than "filling" compared to the 9H.

 

I like how they look (surprisingly).

 

Leather / Faux Leather earpads are going to be sweaty hot ears in the summer. I prefer fabric like on AKGQ701

Although those are softer on the ears, it usually isn't as air tight as leather and therefore can reduce bass.

 

Steelseries seems to make quality headsets. I have a Siberia v2 that's at least 4 years old and it still works great and sounds excellent for how much I paid for them.

I had no idea going into this review but honestly i'm using these a lot more than my ATH M50s.

 

so is this usb or 3.5mm headset?

I currently have a plantronics gamecom 780 and want to upgrade later this year. It's wired usb 7.1 with 40mm drivers. Something wired/wireless would be great! I dont have a dedicated soundcard. only my Asus Sabertooth z87 stuff

I had DT990s for a while with a Magni/Modi and the Siberia V2s still remained my go to headphone. Call me crazy but I just think they sound really nice and they are soo comfortable.

Nav,

What is the silver headphone stand you guys had in the video? What is the brand and model (name/number)?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

 

Comparing soundstages....vs. the M50.

Yeah moving on.....

The M50 is know to have a small soundstage so it really was a horrible comparison.

Sometime it's not about bass... it's open air headphones anyways so the pads don't matter. The Q701 has a big soundstage and that is all about for me. Gaming it is very good since I can hear myself talk over the mic. Everything feel natural.

Noise cancelling is not even a concern for me.
