Why are you getting this boom arm with built-in XLR cable for your USB mic?

because its a cheap arm and i can just cut the XLR cable to get it off, its got better reviews than any other ones and the arm length fits my desk well. I spent a while looking over my options and this one was the best value, all i have to do is cut that cable off the arm.

You can literally get the same thing minus the unnecessary shock mount and XLR cable for half the price: http://www.amazon.com/NEEWER-Microphone-Suspension-Scissor-Stand/dp/B00DY1F2CS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424042200&sr=8-1&keywords=boom+arm

But I wanted the shock mount, if I got that one then I would be buying the shock mount separately

It’s amazing but my computer doesn’t have the power needed, after turning everything up its still not loud enough, I used my friends AMP and man did it make these headphones shine so I know it’s my computer that’s bottlenecking them.

What is it about computers and their shit audio; my Sony Walkman from 2003 can drive my headphones, let alone my motherboard.

I don’t know but it’s a pretty common complaint, unless you get some 300+ dollar mother board it usually has a completely shit audio output yet sound cards are almost as worthless, AMP/DAC's are pretty amazing investments from what I have heard with all my friends who are much bigger audio enthusiasts than me. I’m just glad I’m not making worthless investments, at least buying these things truly does make a difference in how you experience games and music.
