I have two choices and btw I'll be doing gaming videos so I don't want a shotgun mic. Also I won't only get one pair of headphones I'll get multiple for different things like for music, competitive gaming, immersive gaming, etc. That also means some will be harder to drive and need a normal amp.
1.
-Headphones
-AT2020 xlr
-Focusrite 2i2 or solo
-Headphone amp
2.
-Headphones
-AT2020 USB/USB+
-Headphone amp
So if I get a headphone amp I can't plug the headphones into the audio interface right? Is there a downside to that? Also I have a mostly white setup so is it a good idea to paint the audio interface since it's red?
