audio setup suggestion

Scitesh

Hey I was looking to buy a new Headphone but am completely overwhelmed by the number of options available (despite a lot of brands/series not available in India) 

Current headset :steelseries Siberia 200neckband (buying a new one bcoz the wire snagged...long story don't ask)

 

Budget :20000($350)

 

Primary use: gaming(I.e mic required)

Secondary use : movies / yt/chat

Things to avoid :wireless (burnt before)

Extra add one(not cumpolsary but appreciated): setup colour combo is red/black/white 

 

 

Also the ones that I have looked into are

1)corsair h1500/void stereo

2)steel series elite prism/650 

3)earforce m700

4)Logitech g35/633(my friends recommend both he currently has 633 and broke his G35)

5)hyperx cloud2/core (revolver not available in India)

6)strix DSP

7)Razer kraken 7.1

8)beyerdynamic 880/custom pro one(+ modmic)

9)v moda crossfade (+modmic)

 

Also would a DAC, amp or sound card would help me if yes then please suggest

FYI For music I have sennheiser HD 558

 

Why dont you just use your HD 558 for gaming? A dac and amp will not help anything, you can read my post about this linked in my signature.

 

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

Because I don't want to carry them every day with me to college and home to and fro as I broke my steel series while carrying them ...
