Like the title says I am new to higher end solutions for audio. I've always loved great quality sound especially in music and gaming which is my focus in this thread. I did try to look around to see if this question has been answered somewhere else but I just couldn't so forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else.
So basically right now I am using Razer Megalodon 7.1 headset which has served me well for a long time, but im sure there are better solutions that can provide a much better experience as I'vve noticed that the sound seems a bit off at times.
Right now money isn't a big issue but I would like to keep it under $500 if possible.
The question: What is the best combination of headphones and sound card for music and gaming with an emphasis on gaming?
I've been looking around and researching/reading various reviews and articles and so far I'm leaning towards the following:
Sound card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
Headset : Astro A40
That seems like a good choice to me, but ive also been looking at Sennheiser PC350 which seem to have good reviews.
I welcome any advice or recommendations on combos or what I should be looking for. Again I am new to the scene so if theres any extra cables I would need or hardware please let me know to use the previously mention hardware or any that you may recommend.
Thanks alot for the help and looking forward to lots of ideas.
