Having exactly the same use (Music, movies & Games), I recently chose the AKG K272-HD. You can find some reviews here and here (in french sorry but google can translate it so that you can understand the main points). I found it for 107,5€. A very good price/performance ratio...

Hello X-Fi Head-Fi !   I just installed my new Auzentech X-Fi Forte, and being new in the soundcards world, I have loads of questions and was wondering if you could help me with that  ? I am mostly using headphones, and I have a set of analogical 5.1 speakers plugged on it too.   First...
