I'm a proud owner of some brandless 2.0 Speaker setup for my PC
and I'm regularly getting killed in my games because I can't quite tell where the enemy is coming from. So, a while back I decided to look for a headphone.
I know some people who have used headphones for a while, so I went to them first. But I've gotten so much mixed suggestions, I'll ask you guys
I have a couple of questions:
I have been hooked on the looks and supposably great sound of the Sennheiser HD600. I know it is stongly advised to also purchase an amplifier if you're going for this 'phone. But I really don't want to spend more than 200-300$ on an amplifier, will I be able to get enough quality? Also, will the amplifier work as sort of an external sound card, that way an Audigy2 for example can be stricked off the record and I'll save about 150$ that way aswell.
I am going to primerally use it for gaming purposes. But I enjoy the occasional movie and listen to music quite often. But, gaming in general.
I have read here that the SennHD600s aren't that suited for gaming. But I would still like a quality product. I have also been looking at a much cheaper Senn, the Sennheiser 500, I've read it has a lot of bass, which would be great for gaming? And probably doesn't need an amplifier, I suppose?
My budget is about 500$ for the audio department of my PC.
Suggestions are appreciated!
