Hello , I've looking for a good AMP that can drive mostly any headphones in a budget. Im no audio expert but i would like to experience again how good "impedance" audio sound like. Im currently debating on the EPOS | Senheiser GSX 300 and the Creative Sound BlasterX G5. From what I can see they're both also for gaming which is one thing that i take in consideration too. They are both around the 80-90 dollar price range. Would like to hear some suggestions. :)

Sound Blaster G5 has more software sound customization and just an easier interface. I have the Sound Blaster AE-9 and it is great.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.
