    I use a Beyer DT-290(basically a DT-250) with a blue icicle usb pre for gaming and it works well. Not even that much more expensive than what some of these companies charge for their bullshit. Only issue is a slight leak from the cable connector causing a bit of unbalance but that is easily fixed with a bit of foam.

    @Marv I’ll write you up a guide on using the G6, since you don’t necessarily have time to mess with it. I mean, it’s not hard to use by any means, but there are some gotchas and some general tips I’ll provide more specific to getting the most out of its virtual surround features.

    I just realized I bought mine slightly over two years ago, and it’s been my gaming DD since. I hadn’t realized it had been that long, but I think it’s telling how much I like the thing. It’s pretty good for more than gaming too!

    The clamp on these headphones is unbearable for me. I want to switche the drivers on these with the HD598. Does anyone know if they would retain the same sound as these in the 598 housing?

    The clamp is easy to fix. Extend the cups out fully and bend the metal the other way. Do this gradually and bend at the metal. Don't use the edge of the plastic headband because there's a stopper part there that may pop out. Even if it does pop out, it's easy to pop back in.

    The housing may have something to do with the sound. It was my understanding that the HD558 and HD598 used the same driver, yet achieved a slightly different sound because of the housing and other stuff behind the baffle and driver.

    Are there still any plans on doing a pc38x review? That would be cool to compare with these.
