So, my old Sennheiser HD215 have long since fallen apart so ive ordered some LINDY HF-100 headphones (same as Brainwavz hm5) which i hope will be decent for gaming and listening to music. I have been running an Xfi-extreme music for about 10 years now, and wonder if its time to upgrade/change up that too. Along with the LINDY headphones i also use some z5500 speakers.
I see you have a 190 page thread on the Soundblaster Z, but its too long to find any conclusions about it. i am wondering if it would be worth changing out the xfi for the SB Z? Will it be a significant improvement for headphone listening?
Or do you have better suggestions for around the same price point? (£50-60)
The OEM SB Z seems to be about £15 cheaper, but lacks the red casing, is that casing important for shielding interference from the other pc components, or are both OEM and full retain identical performance-wise?
Thanks for any help!
