Hi community!
TL, DR
Modded Senn. PC350 on laptop's onboard realtek 7.1. Poor SQ and static on mic. Need the good mic for streaming. Short on cash. Solutions please?
Until yesterday, I only heard about audiophiles and wards like headphone amps and dac, I never heard of before. Since yestrday, I am a very proud owner of Sennheiser PC350! And I even did the Hero-Bassboost mod on it, just by myself! ENTER THE TWIST As I own only a laptop PC, I am forced to ejoy the modded headset on my onboard crappy Realtec ALC892, and I am aware I can't squeeze all the juice out of that headse, as I now know what that fancy "150 ohm impedance" actually mean. I also noticed some annoying static on both the mike and the headphones, so I credit that to the onboard audio. No static, if I connect the headset to my Logitec Z5500 control pod, however no mic with this option. I want the crisp and clear mic sound and the mind blowing soundstage for a gaming headset the modded PC350 provide (or at least something similar). So here's my question - what should a laptop user like me do (or. buy) in orther to get the full potential of the moded Senn. PC350? I will use the headset for watching movies, listening to some FLAC music, gaming and using the mic for my streaming sessions, when I play. Streaming with the current mic performance, will only result in loss of viewers, of which I have 5
Unfortunately, I have limited amount of funds for this optimazation, so I'm looking for the best performance vs cost solution. I should also mention that it must be only a temporary one, but temporary might end up being even more than 12 months, since I became a father recently ^^
Thanks in advance for your help and advices!
Best regards,
Yatsu
