Need some opinions on this situation:
I have Azuentech Forte sound card with external amp, but i can't make up my mind on using either Sennheiser HD 650 or the newly bought PC360. Which one is better for music/games? (30/70 usage ratio)
I like the mic on pc360 but the sound stage is smaller to my ears. The HD650 is great for music but i always feel it lacks the punch in games and pop music, and it doesn't have mic.

my ears are used to HD650 so i naturally biased to the sound and fit around my head. Need audiophiles' suggestions/opinions to evaluate if it is worth keeping the pc360.

also any new sound card on the market worth upgrading?

thanks
 
The missing punch from pop music is the fact that any punch in that type of music is either dynamically compressed or clipped.
 
Sennheiser pc 360 seems to be the recommanded headphone for many people here, and only a handful of people use HD650 for gaming as far as i can tell.

Actually, the AD700 is the recommended headphone for gaming here.

The PC360 is just a HD595 with a microphone slapped on and the price jacked up to $200+. My recommendation? If you want to stick with the Sennheisers, get an HD598 from JR Music World for $175 (you have to call them up to get this price) then slap on a desktop mic or the Zalman clipon.
 
yeah you beat me to it kramer, i was just about to say arent the ad700's one of the best headphone (low end especially) for gaming.

for music it's a bit of a different story.
