Hey, im looking at getting back into competitive fps and i need a new headset. I have heard good things about sein hd555's but they dont come with a mic. Is there anywhere to get a mic to clip onto these or do i have to suffer with a stand mic if i choose these.

Do I need an amp for these? Also is it worth upgrading my onboard sound with an x-fi board?
 
I am actually looking at the same thing... those or some ATH AD700's or maybe the A700's. I can't decide if I want open or closed.

I'll probably just get a new boom mic. I have heard good things about the Logitech USB mic, but I have an x-fi so I think I'd rather go w/ a mic that plugs into my sc.

As far as the X-fi goes... Absolutely!!!! There is a huge sound difference between the X-fi and onboard. I recently put an old SB Live card in my bro's computer and he said that was an improvement over his onboard sound. I had an Audigy2zs in my main rig (now it's in my HTPC) and I upgraded to an X-fi. For regular speakers the difference wasn't much of anything, but if you plan on using headphones, that is where the X-fi really shines. It is great with simulated surround sound and positional audio
