Torn between PriceVsPerformance. Suggestions?

ALright. IM down to 2 sets of everything in my new peripherals build. headphones, mics, and keyboards.

 

I'm looking at these for each catagory:

 

Audio:

Philips SHP9500- plus a V-Moda boompro

Sennheiser 558's, NOT MODDED AT ALL with a blu snowball

 

The reason im not modifying the senns is because, i am not about to defy warranty, maybe break a VERY delicate wiring system, all to supposedly make them "as good as 598's" when most reviews ive seen do these mods before even TRYING to do an A B comparison. and if audio needs hardware modification, its not worth the price. i just want clear, accurate sound quality with enough bass to make me feel the music. gaming, movies, music. action rock and fps, as well as comedies country and rpg's. full range.

 

Keyboards:

Logitech g710 blue edition

Reddragon Indrah K555- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0171BSNYK?colid=2Z38EJPM1CWF2&coliid=I14RRNX4H61896&psc=1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl

 

the redragon is a TRUE onboard memory keyboard with no sogftware, rgb, and a sort of corsair clone with aluminum flat backplate. but outemu blues are it's switch.

 

im just debating as i already have the logitech g600, no need for any other software, so either, no software or logitech.

------------------------------------

 

I know i pretty much louded my post history with "which is better or not" asking time and again, but i've been researching until i COULD purchase these things. and now that i can, i've been rolling through reviews, both written and taped, with info ranging from amazon to tomshardware, to much more. i dont have MUCH cash, i dont want to waste my money. so im sorry for always asking. but this is the last time. so if i could get some suggestions, maybe more info of what makes them great in their own right. then ill be taking the leap

What is your preferred keyboard switch? loud and clicky? quiet? a bit soft? 

 

as for the rest, I cannot help you with headphones, but I can say that a snowball may not be the best choice, depending on your surroundings. 

 

 

it LOVES to pick up every little click and background sound ever. 

 

an alternative is a mod mic- a headset mic that suction-cups to your headphones. 

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

Solitaire.

i tried 2 mech boards, and believe it or not it was the 710, alongside a razer blackwidow. out of those 2? i prefered the 710. the keys were wider, the sound was nice, but it felt pretty light, so when i researched switched, i found i may like greens beter, though cherry greens are.... rare. and expensive.

 

as for the mics, the vmoda is better than the antlion, but requires a 3.5mm connection to the headphones, thus why it's not on the senns. because i wont mod any hardware. unless its the keycaps of the logitech due to the issue that it had, but heard its been fixed.
