Hi guys, I have a few questions about the Sennheiser HD650. Now I know that there have been many posts about this before, but I have some specific needs and questions not completely covered in previous threads.
So anyways, I tried out these cans at a friend's place last week and was absolutely blown away listening to classical music and jazz.
Currently, I'm listening to music mainly on my computer using a Creative XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro sound cord, through a pair of old yamaha headphones. I'd like to get the HD650 to listen mainly to classical music, jazz, and occasionally rock music (mostly in FLAC or wma). However, the other thing I use my headphones for at home is for gaming.
My question is, how is the HD650 for gaming? Music is still my main use for headphones, but I would like the HD650 to be at least decent for gaming. Additionally, I know that I should be using a headphone amp and possibly a better sound card. Are there any recommendations for the things that go between my computer motherboard and the headphones? I'm willing to scrap the XtremeGamer for something better as long as both music and gaming are taken care of. The headphone amp I tried at my friend's place was well over $600, and I would prefer headphone amp/sound card to be under $3-400 total.
Thanks
