Ok guys help me out if you would. Ive been doing alot of research on many different sets of headphones, and i ve narowed it down to 2 options. First let me state that i am a pc gamer and nothing else. Dont listen to music much other than in my car. I currently have a sound blaster xi fi extreme gamer pro fatality card .
Im leaning towards the pc 360 sennheisers. which will cost somewhere in the low 200 range. Reason being they have great reviews and only need 50 ohms to drive which im not positive on this but i think my sound card would do it. IF im wrong please say so.
Amazon also has the pc 350 xense bundle for 300 which gives the 350 but also that sweet @ss soundcard with the built in amp. Which from my understanding is needed to drive the 150ohm requirement of the 350s.
Now i know some of you will probably say just get the ad700 and a mic to clip on but i dont like the idea of doing that. Unless the ad700s just make a huge difference in sound quality. I have kids so any extra cords or wires is a nono.
One of my concerns if i go with the 360s i would be using cmss3-d. If i go with the 350 bundle i would be using dolby for virtual surround. Which is better in your opinions?
If you think another set of headphones would be better please let me know these are just the ones ive done alot of research on and im trying to stay under 300. So please dont recommend a set of 300 dollar headphones that need 300ohms to power. Thanks for reading.
