Im looking for headphones mainly for computer gaming and watching movies. My friend, who is a bigger audiophile, suggested Sennheiser. I have a few specific questions:
I was considering these setups:
1. PC350(or special edition) with astro mixamp
2. PC363 which comes with 7.1 audio(USB)
The obvious difference is 1.closed cans 2. open cans
OK QUESTIONS::::
A. What's the main difference between open and closed cans.....It can get noisy if Im traveling but not so much at home...do I need closed cans for better blocking of background noises or do Open cans have a superior sound?
B. What's the difference between the 7.1 audio device that comes with PC363 compared to the astro mixamp.
C. Do i need a soundcard? external amp? (currently have gigabyte z68a-d3h-b3 with 7.1 onboard audio)
This is mainly for the PC....but I do game on the PS3 and would like to use with that also if possible.
I want to thank you in advance for any suggestions!! Please comment on this with opinions, suggestions, guesses(lol)
THANK YOU
