for starting the thread with soundstage as your main priority you sure went the opposite direction. i'd be surprised if you're happy with the soundstage of the M50's. not wishing you any ill will, hopefully you enjoy them. they're just more of a musical headphone rather than a gaming headphone in my opinion.

I've decided I'd rather have a pair that is all-around good. Coming from the cheapest option from Turtle Beach, I imagine even this will be a massive upgrade, so hopefully it's still amazing. (to me anyway) I also would like to listen to music with them, and play other games, so I think this will be a good choice for me.

Oh, I also already preordered the ModMic, so I imagine I'll get the headphones either late this week or early next, and the mic and mixamp very early November. I'll be sure to give my input on the new setup once I have it all.

Edit: Alright I've revised it and canceled my order for the M50s. I'm going with the Creative Aurvana Live's as per the thread CorruptEagle linked to's rating of it, and other review I found online. Thanks for busting my balls Porter, that could have been a costly mistake. tongue.gif The CALs should fit exactly what I'm looking for, and at the right price.
