I don't know if this is current, but it should be similar to these settings:
Your post sounds like you were trying to enable it for speakers.
Are you wanting to use it with the PS4/PS5? If so then I'd avoid it.
I literally couldn't stand the DT990's after about an hour of listening to them, the over-emphasized treble actually hurt my ears which was a first for me.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm super happy with my Sennheiser 58X's though and I'm hoping the X2HR's that I ordered earlier today will be a nice complimentary piece for those times I want open-back with a little extra bass.
Yes I'm planning to use it with the PS5 as well. Why should I avoid it, and why do you recommend the Sound BlasterX G6 instead? The Sound Blaster is almost 2x the price of the Fiio.
Many people report low volume on the E10K when used on the PS4/PS5, whereas something like the Sound Blaster is designed with the consoles in mind and doesn't suffer from the same issue. In addition, the G6 has higher sound quality and also works on the Switch whereas the E10K does not if that matters to you.
Gotcha, yeah I would like to potentially use it with the Switch as well. Will look into the G6 then.
So I'm no expert and haven't personally listened to either yet (although I have the X2HR's on the way) but from what I've read the K702's are much more neutral and focused on being analytical whereas the X2HR's have more of a "fun" sound signature and would work better for things like movies, games, and some genres of music.
Even with the volume issue on PS4/PS5 with DAC's, the 10K should enough to drive the X2's. The X2's are incredibly easy to drive so you don't need a lot of power. I was using the FiiO E17 on my PS4/5 to drive my X1's without any issue. I believe the 10K the E17 have the same amp in them. The E17 does offer gain options though and I usually used the mid-gain option which gave it that extra power. You can also find the E17 for relatively cheap on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/FiiO-E17-A...962393&hash=item3b400babfa:g:CQUAAOSwg9hdHsqa
Oh no, I have the Penrose for PS5 on pre-order, are they not any good? I am curious about the planar tech.
Although I already have a MMX300 (32 Ohm) which is supposed to be nearly identical to the 770, I just got a pair of 80 Ohm 770 and 250 Ohm 990.
Would this also work with PC and Switch?
IMO, this is overpriced and the SoundBlaster one is a better deal. Or that Turtle Beach mixamp.
You could drive 80 ohm with a portable battery based headphone DAC like FiiO Q1.

Dock it? :P But damn, I feel the pain. Accidentally cracked the back and the camera of my phone I do retro gaming with and I am super annoyed at that. Thankfully front screen is ok.
Yep, I have MX1000M2 and it's very very good. XM3 and XM4 are even better. Bose is close as well.
Awesome, glad to hear the X2's should hopefully be what I'm looking for!
Yea, it will work on PC through USB and through the aux port for the Switch. They'll sounds a lot better with an amp. Especially compared to the output from the PS4/PS5 controller. You can always try them without the amp and see how they sound to you, before making any decisions.
The X2's and the HD598 are very different so one is not necessarily better than the other. The 598's are a more neutral headphone that doesn't emphasize any sound over the other. They'll have more details and clarity in the mid-range/vocals. The X2's emphasize bass and treble and the mids are more recessed and won't feel as close to your ears and they won't have as much detail. They'll also have a much bigger sound stage compared to the 598's. If you like a more neutral sounding headphone with more clarity, stick with the 598's. If you want a headphone that sounds bigger has a lot more 'oomph' in its bass, go with the X2's.
I see, thank you! I have it on pre-order from a UK shop and there seem to be some stock problems. They should have launched late November, but now it just says December. Hoping they get delivered before 2021, otherwise I have to pay import duties due to Brexit I think.
Damnit, I'll buy the turtle beach one then, didn't realize it was pc only
