I own the AD700X with modmic and the SHP9500 with vmoda boom pro. Don't buy a knockoff vmoda boom pro for half the price; they all break in a month, trust me I tried. The legit vmoda boom pro has been running strong since 2018. My wife abuses the hell out of it and uses them as her xbox console cans. They're a lot of fun when directional sound matters such as Dead by Daylight or any FPS game ever.
They also work great on Oculus Quest 2 as replacement speakers. Fit great with the quest 2 stock configuration with a short 3 foot 3.5mm cable.
Once you own them go to: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/...%20SHP9500
Install AutoEq and follow the instructions on how to use software to equalize them. This is for PC users only, not console. Sorry.

In fact, I was just gifted a backup pair during the previous $60 something sale and, when compared to my old set, found two things very interesting...
1. Out of the box the highs are a bit harsh and the soundstage a bit muddy on the low end, but after about a 10 hour burn-in the highs are getting warmer and the soundstage opening up, so I'm thinking they'll match my old pair soon.
2. The headband is made of metal and I didn't realize just how snug a new band is until I wore them for a few hours and ended up with a headache. Again, based on the old pair, I know it's just a matter of time, as I can wear my old pair all day and forget I have them on.
So on the chance you find that the sound is just a bit "off," give them time, as they will get better, the more you use them. Also for those who are curious, I'd say these cans are for those looking for accuracy over flair. If you are looking for punchy bass, you might be better off looking at a good pair of Sony's closed cans (usually for much more).

Anyway, best of headphone for FPS gaming.
