    My pair of headphones is looking for a good home. :) These cost $500 new (+ tax). I am willing to let them go for $299, shipping is free within the US. Con: you will need to get a new pair of earpads. The foam held up just fine, but the lining on the cloth is pretty weak. You can buy a...

    Q701's and xonar STX or creative ZX sound card

    Quote: No good for gaming, no gaming sound tech support (EAX, CMSS / DH, etc).   OP, either of these cards will do fine, depends on your preferences. X-Fi is still the best for gaming, though.
