The Essence STX comes with a headphone amplifier, the D2X does not, so get the STX.
I would think the HD598 would have the best sound quality.
Once your using the Essence STX, can't see why you would need to buy a Mix-Amp.
I came across Mad Lust Envy's little review of headsets and found it usefull. As a result i thought i would join and get some expert advice.
I am currently in the process of building my computer and have just gotten onto the the sound side of stuff.
I have tried doing research on the subject but keep getting contradicting messages, some people tell me to get one thing and then others say not to so hopefully this is where you guys can help.
Firstly, though not purchased yet i believe i will be going for Asus Xonar Essence STX or the Asus Xonar D2X (recommendations here would be helpfull too).
With regards to the Headphones im looking to spend around £200.
I game (for fun), watch movies and listen to ALOT of music. Possible options that i have seen are:
Sennheisers PC360's
Sennheisers HD598's
Astro A40's
Beats by Dr Dre Solo Wireless on Ear Wireless Bluetooth
Would it be worthwhile getting something such as a Mixamp aswell?
Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
