 A much much much better setup: Soundcard: Asus Essence STX ($199, Newegg) 'Gaming headset': Audio Technica AD700 + Zalman clip-on mic ($102.85 from Amazon, see 'combo' in the link) Speakers: M-Audio BX8a ($293 including ship from Amazon) Total: $594.85 Now that's one pwnsome setup. It really is.

He plainly said he didn't want an overkill because he games mostly. $600 is extremely unnecessary for gaming.
I would still kill for that, though. Well, except the ADH-700s. I'll stick with my 595s haha.

Those Mackies arn't active powered are they?
Also remember the Essence STX only has 2.0 lineout + those M-Audio's BX8a normally go for $450 New.

I'm running Mackies to my STX and they sound great especially the bass response when I turn it up.

Just buy a cheap headset. A $100+ headset is overkill. I'm using a $30 dollar headset from logitech and it's just fine for me.

This guy explains it better than me so I'll link it: http://base.teamxbox.com/blog-post/4...01-20-2008/p1/ *I'll see a thread from you here in a few months time when that Logitech headset breaks and will quote this*
