hey guys I need a recommendation for A $150~$200 sound set up (headphones and soundcard)
I currently use on-board audio on my gigabyte m68m-s2 motherboard and my current headset is siberia neckband gaming headset I just hate it mainly cause it droops down my ears all the time.
specs for my headset:
Frequency response: 18 – 28.000 Hzm
Impedance: 40 Ohm
SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 104 dB
Cable length: 1,2 + 1,5 = 2,7 m (8.9 ft.)
Jacks: 3,5 mm (6,3 mm converter incl.)
Microphone
Frequency response: 80 – 15.000 Hz
Pick up pattern: Uni-directional
Sensitivity: -38 dB
Impedance: 2K Ohm
---
I was looking to buy the sony MDR XB500 headphones $50~, I tried them out and I found them really comfortable. can anyone recommend anything better than these headphones while not destroying my budget? I also am looking for a decent sound card at the moment. if I buy both at the same time, I can spend up to $150. but if I just get the soundcard first, probably $125 shipped and after tax. and headphones if I buy later, probably $75 max. and microphone wise, I can just use one of my zalman clip on mic that I have laying around so microphone isnt an issue at all.
Gaming (pc games and DTXmania, stepmania) would be priority, then music then music creation (FL studio mainly) then lastly movies.
any help would be great, thanks!
