FAQ
Are the ProAudio X500 suitable for casual listening or gaming?
While their primary design is for critical audio work, the X500's accurate sound profile is excellent for audiophile-grade music listening. The great isolation and comfort also make them a strong choice for immersive gaming, though they do not include a built-in microphone.
