Headphone suggestion

[JamesIsBatman]

Hi everyone! I decided to get a quality pair of headphones. I want to get sennheiser 558. But should I get 598 instead? Is there a big difference? And should I get a soundcard or something? If so, then tell me some good ones. I will be gaming for most of the time and just a little music. I don't want to be spending more than $200 for the headset and soundcard combined. But I can squeeze in ten or twenty dollars if worth it.

I never tried the 598 but the 558 seemed great to me. If you get a 558 I don't think you would have enough money for a good soundcard (i would recommend the Fiio E10). Do you need a microphone too?

Yes get a soundcard, it is way better than onboard.

Just get a nice pair of headphones and use your onboard.

 

558s would be good, 598s aren't an order of magnitude better.  Unless you LIKE the color.

look up the 558 foam mod, it's supposed to make them sound similar to the 598's.
