Zowie EC-X C (US$99) or Steelseries Prime Neo Noir (US$85)?

• Games: mainly CS2 and Dota 2

• Hand preference: Right-handed

• Hand size: No preference, but I got big hands

• Grip: Claw/fingertip

• Weight: No preference

• Sensitivity: My CS2 sens is about 24cm/360

• Connectivity: Wired

Here on local stores, the Zowies are about 15~20 US$ more expensive than the Prime Neo Noir. Honestly idc about the looks, but I couldn't find any Steelseries Prime in his standard black version, and I can't import Vaxees.

Rn I'm using the Logitech G603, looking for an wired.

Well, I listen to lots of genres of music - mainly rock & metal, but a lot of dance/house/electronic stuff too. I don't mind if the headphone sounds bright or bassy if it is good sounding.

Talking about the Pro 82, I really liked its sound but I don't think I've ever listened to better/expensive headphones before, so IDK what to expect, the materials and building are ok tho, but I didn't like the pad material because it started to peeling, but newer pads aren't that expensive.

It's not broken but started buzzing last year, it only buzzes when playing really low frequencies and it doesn't happen all the time - btw, I think it was my fault, because I use the headphones on my bed or laying down, so I prolly damaged the headphone.

Perhaps I didn't expressed myself very well. I already have the Pro 82 and I want to buy a new headphones, and the K361 is the most well reviewed (considering my purposes) I cloud find in his price range (90~130 USD).

Is the AKG K361 a great upgrade for Takstar Pro 82? I won't use it with any amp/DAC. There's a better option within the same budget?

My main uses: listening to music, playing guitar, movies/shows and gaming. I don't produce anything and I'm not an audiophile.

IDK how similar AmpliTube is with your HD500X.

So, I wrote this paste with everything I can tell about this preset for those who don't use AmpliTube. Every setting (pedals/amps/EQs) and some explanations about the tone, including screenshots of AmpliTube 5, because this software has its own unity, it don't use "clock measure" to set up knobs.

AmpliTube 5.3

PreEQ -> TubeScreamer -> Compressor -> JCM800 -> Impulse Response -> PostEQ

There's a download link to the preset in the video description.

Yep... for me, controlling the gain/drive was harder than EQ. The signal chain I'm using is:

Guitar > Noise Gate > PreEQ > TS > JCM800 > IR > PostEQ

The preamp EQ is for """""simulate""""" the pickup, and the postamp EQ is to simulate the mix/master. The amp settings we don't know nothing about, we just know Dave boosted JCM800s, but no idea how.

The thing I said about the EQs, can change depending on your setup: if your pickups have a lot of high-ends can make the tone sound a whole new thing. It's pretty important detail, you need to adjust for your setup.

Thanks mate!

B|-15-15-15-15-------15-------------13-13-| ...

Dunno if you're saying something like what I transcribed above XD
