Hi,
I'm new to this website, I created a thread with my presentation and my questions here :
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/introduction-and-need-advice-for-my-gaming-setup.878779/
but now that I've seen this thread I think it could be better to post here.
My Custom IEM are dying and I would like to make the jump to a good headphone setup to game. I need to start from the very beginning has I've got absolutely no devices (Amp, DAC, etc...).
For the Microphone I'm thinking about buying the Modmic V5 and a Rode VXLR+ adapter as I would like to be able to plug both my futur headphone and the mic on the same interface (tell me if it's a good idea or not, I'm new) as I would like to have as few cable and device as possible, I like clean desk.
I need advice about what will be the best device and headphone I could get for a maximum of 1500$ (Modmic and adapter cost 130$ so I still got some cash left).
I mainly play competitive FPS so sound stage and sound positioning are my main concern.
I've heard good things about the DT1990 Pro, HD 660S and the HD 800S (I know it's more expensive, but perhaps I can be week enough to break my wallet).
I listen to a lot of music kinds so I'm not really looking for a particular type of sound (bassy, neutral, etc...).
So I need advice for a good headphone and a good way to plug both my Modmic in XLR and the headphone in a compact way so I can keep my desk as clean as possible.
I gladly pay a beer to the people that can help me find my dream
