So I have been using the Razer Carcharias, they sounded ok but I've been through two sets, they both lost sound on the left side. First one died after almost a year, the second died in two months. After doing some research into keyboards and buying myself a Filco, I decided to look into everything else. haha
I have a budget of around 100$ for both headphones/soundcard. For the mic I'm going with the Zalman clip on. The soundcard, looks like the Asus Xonar DG is a great budget card.
On to Headphones, from what I've read, I'm looking at these; Samson RH600, Superlux 668B, and Samson SR850. I've read a lot of rave reviews on the 668B's for their price being very good. The other two I have just seen mentioned here and there.
I do quite a bit on my PC but I would like the sound to have a good balance on FPS games and trance music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKed9Rvum_w this is what I usually listen to, stuff like that). Those two would be what I listen to the most, I'm not a basshead, but I do like to have some there. I'm open to suggestions on headphones that aren't listed. I'm fairly new to this so, I'll take any help I can get.
I'm also curious, would the Audio Technica ATH-AD700s blow the 668Bs out of the water? Or is the sound comparable with the AD700s just having a more open sound stage?
