They are my personal favourite headset. They are great for gaming and listening to music. With that said, my pair finally died (right ear cup is no longer working) after 3 years so I've moved over the Fnatic edition ones that Steelseries sent me to check out, but it makes me a little bit less confident that simply treating them well will prevent them from breaking as I've said at times in the past.

I just bought a pair and so far I am very happy with their performance in gaming. They are perfectly fine for the music I listen too but I don't listen to anything that is super bass heavy. 

 

I have only used them with onboard audio so far because my Xonar DGX recently died. Does anyone know what would be a good sound card to pair with the 7H? Are they a good enough headset to warrant buying a much higher end sound card than a DGX?

In my opinion you should check the Sibera V2s over the 7H.

why so...?

They sounds alright, but the mini USB plug seem to die pretty fast. It seems like if the plug dosen't die one of the cups die. They are the most RMA'd headphone in the store where I work, only beaten by the Logitech G35. By the way we don't sell the 7H's anymore and I live in Denmark(origin of steelseries) . Even the people at Steelseries thinks that the headset dosen't live up to the quality expectations.(we are one of the biggest partners with Steelseries in DK and I talked to an employee)  :)

ah, well at the moment I have a pair of Logitech G35's and want to replace it because of the buzzing ahah. Might still give them a go and just take them back if they break on me.
