Hello everyone.
 
I need new headphones or headset and sound card for competitive gaming. My preferences:
 
Build:
- Large around-the-ear pads with space to breathe.
- Only open back!
- Only velour pads!
- Long cord from only one earpad.
 
Sound:
- Competitive gaming only (Call of Duty series, Left 4 Dead).
 
Sound card:
- Maybe something with Dolby Headphone?
- If not - something with amplifier and volume control.
 
All the best!

Thanks for reply. Takstar is unavailable in Poland. I also prefer open than semi-open headphones.

Too much for me. Xonar DG is good enough for those headphones?

I want to buy ATH-AD700. Should I buy Xonar DX or Xonar DG for them?
