Creative Aurvana Live Headphones.  $75 on amazon.  I don't think your gonna get surround sound unless you plan on paying a little extra for a fiio e7, eo7k, or e17 if you can, or a good soundcard.

Just to be clear, this is a pc setup correct?  If so do you have any idea on what your sound card is?

Imo amping never hurts and almost always improves sound, but amping isnt always required for a good sound. You should be focused settling on a pair of headphones first, then once you get them try them out and decide for yourself if they really REQUIRE an amp.

So i just bought this corsair vengeance 1500
And i find the sound to be pretty good for gaming and movies.
Evrything seems to be fine jus hoped for a slightly better bass.
Can someone suggest me a good headphone amp to go with the headphones .


Is getting an amp realyy worth it ??


I use my headphones for my acer laptop 5740g ..

Isn't that headset a usb one?  If you want to use it's built in 3d surround features, you won't need the amp as it is driven by the usb.

I haven't heard of an amp with USB output.  The headset itself is already getting power through the USB so I don't see the point in getting one.  Additionally, a USB headset will bypass your existing sound card because your PC will recognize it as a separate sound device completely.  If you like the sound on your headset though, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

No amp works with usb. You can't do anything about the bass except equalize it. Find a guide, and remember never to equalize by sliding the sliders up.
