    Na bro. About 70% of them i guess. Maybe whenever in free I'll replay a few levels and get the remaining ones 

    Too bad there's no trophy system in Nintendo games. That would have pursued my lazy a*s to try harder :P

    That's the one thing I miss on the switch compared to xbox and PS. Not having achievements or trophies is a real bummer.

    Botw is pretty f**king awesome. But the magic is definitely diminished by Elden Ring being better in pretty much every way. Tbf Elden Ring couldn’t have existed without Botw but it is what it is.

    Bro the verticality in BOTW with the glider is just insane. 

     

    Started the game last week and I am in awe and I am on the last boss in Elden Ring with over 130hrs played.

    I am using brainwavz on my AKG k550. 

     

    They are extremely robust and comfortable. I even washed them once with surf excel.

     

    Will change sound a bit. But you won't notice Unless you use extremely sensitive, reference grade hps.


    That is great man. I am guessing you got the full fabric/velor one. Did it affect the clamping force in anyway?
     

    I picked the hybrid ones from WickedCushions and they have slightly increased the clamping force as they are thicker than stock and more dense and doesn't compress easily.

    Thinking if I should send these back and get ones from Brainwavz instead. As per a few videos online, these do compress a lot more and are slightly thinner so am expecting won't increase the clamping force by much.

    So as per you those who own SX with subscription including people here (even root admins and mods) are chindi..

     

    But people are not chindi those who don't even have a  next gen console but still make plenty of time to sh*t on something they don't own

     

    :rofl:

    :roflroll:

    TBF, if not for the constant sh*t posting in this thread, there would be nothing here.

     

    Moving on, anyone here bought earpads replacements from WickedCushions os Brainwavz?

     

    Picked up a velor/PU hybrid from WickedCushions of Amazon.in to try and see if I can make the 9x more comfortable to use. Should be delivered today.

    Wireless headset market for gaming needs to evolve both in terms of good audio and in general, so far the best offering that seem to me is either cloud 2 wireless in markets or the corsair HS70(they used to go for 7K)

    :notangel:

    Both work with PC and not Xbox unfortunately.

     

    And yes, I do agree that the wireless headset space has been stagnant for a while and needs some fresh blood.

     

    Reading up on reviews on Audeze Penrose X and they too have a bunch of issues which is not something you want when they cost 30K :(

    @L33TWiZaRd Thanks man, your advice worked. My account somehow got temporarily banned. Microsoft support team removed that ban and I can buy again.

     

    No problem man. I am glad that they got you sorted so quickly. It took a few days when it happened to me. Happy buying and gaming :)

    Audeze penrose x are actually available here in India, around 28k tho

    None the less congratulations on your purchase, just be careful, SteelSeries had left India (but now seem to be back) 

    Personally I feel SteelSeries has not come up with any new offering in the wireless department, hope they do soon though.

     

    Checked Headphonezone and they did not have the Xbox version for the Audeze Penrose and 28k is well beyond my budget since I already have PXC 550 and WF-1000XM3 for music and general usage.

     

    SteelSeries does seem to be back and the 9x are directly imported by Appario Retail themselves for whatever reason.

    Fingers crossed that I don't have to find out about their customer service anytime soon :lol:

     

    Also they have put out a few new headsets but for whatever reason these still sport micro usb type-b :(

    These include the 7p and 7x. Both work with a dongle but lack BT connectivity and the 7x works with PC,PS and Xbox.

    No particular reason for buying gift cards. Just storing up amount before new games starts releasing in October. Tried purchasing games also, but it didn't work.

     

    Tried googling my issue. Even some people with credit cards are having same issues. Will contact Xbox support but don't think they would be of much help.

     

    There was a temp block placed on my account for purchases sometime last year which I got reversed after reaching out to xbox customer care via chat.
    Trust the process, they will fix it.

    I am having trouble purchasing Microsoft gift cards.

     

    Purchased a ₹1699 gift card successfully. But after that cannot make any further purchase.

     

    Tried with both ICICI and HDFC debit card.

     

    Anybody know what to do. Any other place to buy gift card. Pre paid gaming charging ₹2299 for a ₹1699 card. :ranting:

     

    Try a credit card or reach out to xbox support to check if there is any temporary restriction place on your account for purchases.

     

    Any reason why you are buying gift cards and not games directly from the xbox store?

    Look at audeze, hyperx cloud wireless and astros.

    I'd personally suggest audeze if you're already planning around spending 20k

     

    Astros is 300$ and not a fan of the base station setup plus no bluetooth. Audeze is again 300$ and with shipping and customs coming to 500$ via Amazon.com which is well beyond my budget.

     

    Have HyperX Alpha so want to get something different, something better.

    If you can find someone to bring it from US, 7X are generally available on Walmart.

    Unfortunately, nobody is coming from US anytime soon. Plus there won't be any warranty which gives me pause as well.

     

    Really wish we had a wider range of gaming headsets sold in India which weren't cheap and wired.

     

    Received the Arctics 9x from Amazon.in for 19k after cashback. It is comfortable and sounds good and has direct Xbox connection without a dongle which works well. Bluetooth works as advertised and it is great to feed audio from your phone to the headset in between loading screens and to take calls while gaming. And the two year warranty in India is a bonus.

     

    Considering the fact that the Arctics 7p (officially sold by Amazon) also went on deal for 20k while being 150$ at retail in US, paying 19k for the 9x which is 200$ at retail in US feels like a great deal.

     

    So far so good, will continue to use it for a week or so before I make up my mind on keeping it. 19-20k still feels like a bit much to spend on a gaming headset :lol:

     

    Any Arctics owners in here who have done some EQ customisation on the Steeelseries Engine App. Trying to get the perfect EQ for Warzone.

    This is good, he straight up said Austin's method was wrong. Hopefully, NXG or GamersNexus go in depth on this, test the temps on the soc level. 

     

    The original PS5 did not have the best airflow as per GamerNexus so if this revision improves upon this shortcoming then air coming out of the vents will be hotter.

     

    Also, hot air on the outside is better than hot components on the inside. And pretty sure the revised PS5 won't be throttling due to heat as some are making it out to be :lol:

  11. Anyone here using a wireless headphone with their Xbox Series X|S?

     

    Trying to decide between importing Razer Kaira Pro from the US for around 196$ all in or get the Steelseries Arctics 9x from Amazon.in for 20k (when on deal).

     

    Would have preferred a headset that worked wireless on both Xbox and PS with Bluetooth but there don't seem to be any such headsets.

     

    Arctics 7x was also on my shortlist but I can't find them anywhere and they lack Bluetooth :(

    Is everyone okay with the 4999 price? I feel like that's stretching things a bit.

     

    I bet third parties haven't increased because they know it's a psychological barrier.

    Not a matter of choice though is it?

     

    60$/4k per game on consoles were already stretching things considering that most games have other forms of monetisation. 

     

    Third parties have alteady increased their prices with Activision and 2K leading the charge. I expect more publishers to follow suit and increase their prices. Ubsifot could become one of them.

     

    And why wouldn't they since Sony (a major paltforn owner) did the same.:(

     

    Personally, I will be relying more on rentals and physical games this gen as opposed to going completely digital last gen on both Xbox and PS.

    Sony India gave him a brand new PS5 with box for a warranty claim (bricked PS5 on day 1). 

     

    This is good to know. I know some Series X owners who are still waiting for their replacement for over 2 months now after sending in theirs for being faulty.

     

    So good job, Sony India. Well done.

     

    I can also now rest a little easy and keep my PS5 on standby with Miles Morales running in the background.
