Sorry this may seem like a totally ridiculous question, but after experiencing a booming subwoofer cable I don't want to damage my audio gear. I know there are some guides out there in powering on/off gear in order. I have a Schiit EITR to a Modi Multibit and then connected to a Schiit Valhalla...

These headphones would just be used for gaming and voice chat. Just want the best out there that is cheap.   Thank you.   EDIT: Please do not recommend a headphone with a microphone. I already have a desktop mic.
