Hi guys.
I've been considering the jump to a decent set of headphones and an amp to go along with it as my Turtle Beach HPA2's are starting to get long in the tooth. I'm currently using my onboard 7.1 (Gigabyte X79-UD3) But I'd also like to get a decent sound card as well.
I've been just happy with onboard for quite a bit but recently I find it's the least enjoyable part of my system. These headphones sound really good and I've been happy with them, but they're really showing their age, and are starting to crackle, etc.
I enjoy deep bass, and I've tried a lot of new gaming headsets and they're all not even remotely close to this set. I recently read about the Tiamat 7.1's for weeks and how everyone loved them, I hooked them up and was beyond disappointed, returned them the same day, they couldn't touch these bass wise, and everything was so tinny.
So what do you guys recommend? Where should I start looking? Price range is 250-300$ tops for the headphones, amp I have no idea what their price range even is, and sound card I think 100$ would do it, maybe a xonar or something?
I look forward to hearing your opinions. Thanks everyone.
