I am here to find advice and/or recommendations on Headphones + Sound card or External DAC, within my budget. Microphones are out of the question, since I can find a cheap clip on mic of some sort online.
My budget is $300 for both Headphones and Sound card together. OR $200 for Headphone & $100 for Sound card or External DAC
My music tastes would be dubstep, house mixes, something along the lines of,
I want something that will be used for watching Music, Movies, and gaming. Music being most important.
Previous Headsets,
1. Turtle Beaches x11 (Retired)
2. Steel Series Siberia v2 (Mic died/Retired)
3. Steel Series Elite - Black I currently do not use a dedicated sound card or DAC.
The headphones will be used mostly at home, PC gaming, listening to music, and watching movies.
I currently live in Canada. I have access to Best Buy, Future Shop, and NCIX as a retail. Any Canadian sites will help, due to price matching in order to get the best deals. Other sites will be fine, if the shipping is priced reasonably.
Btw I am a noob, when it comes to Audio, so any suggestions of products to get, will help.
