this is so strange linus needs to do a parody it would be funny

All the more reason to have Linus do a video! =D

Not sure if this goes here but didn't see a better spot before posting.
 
Haven't seen anyone suggest this but I think having linus do a parody ASMR video would be super funny! Maybe have slick whisper the OC benchamarks? What do you guys think? Would this be entertaining if not necessarily informative?
 
Here is a video of a serious ASMR unboxing if you haven't run across these yet. I seriously can't stop laughing at them.

But they do? Back when I was a toolbag I tried my cousins for a day. I thought they were "ok" but I was saved by my first pair of Sennheisers instead. 
 
They don't sound bad for 75$-90$. For the 150~200$? They're awful. 

If your onboard isn't up to snuff and you don't have a decent older sound card then there's no real reason not to go for it.

This is what i use to record.
 
M-Audio Fast Track ultra (I think this is discontinued, try this instead?)

For monitors I use M-Audio av40's paired with their sb10 but if you want headphones

You'll obviously want to expand your microphone collection as you go depending on what you want to record... cuz those wont handle a drum kit by themselves

Best Bang-Buck in your price range
