Mic or headphones, which to buy first?

[Timmy-P]

Hey all,

I've been looking to upgrade from my Logitech G230s for a while, and now the following two items have been put up on Massdrop:

 

Superlux 668B:

And Samson Meteorite:

For a general rule, which should I purchase first, the headphones or the mic?  Is there a preferred order, or just whatever works?

It depends, which of the two sounds the worst?

 

I'd go for mic first, as its not that easy to use the mic of a pair of headphones with another pair of headphones, whereas its easy to use a standalone mic with any pair of headphones.

you should probably get the microphone first, since it has less time remaining for sale

I have a webcam to use as a mic in the meantime.

Take care of yourself first, get the headphones
